SCROTUM? Oh, Supreme Court of the United States? Like POTUS? Love these abbreviations they use now.

The 10 commandments come from the book of Deuteronomy. Here are other timeless classics from that same book. This thread is now about funny Bible passages.

¹¹If two men are fighting and the wife of one of them comes to rescue her husband from his assailant, and she reaches out and seizes him by his private parts, ¹²you shall cut off her hand. Show her no pity.
²⁸If a man find a damsel that is a virgin, which is not betrothed, and lay hold on her, and lie with her, and they be found;

²⁹Then the man that lay with her shall give unto the damsel's father fifty shekels of silver, and she shall be his wife; because he hath humbled her, he may not put her away all his days.

Personally, I'm wowed by a God who is worried about whether or not you're talking about other Gods instead of him.

That sounds like the God I want to believe. At least once he gets by his insecurities.

Psssst.. Careful how you talk about Allah. His followers can blow up over the most trivial of matters.

All religions have some giant flaws

Followers are just brought in at a young age and its all they know and have been told.

There probably are only certain personality types that can look at the big picture and say "Hey, I know I've been doing this my whole life, but this just doesn't add up"

Hopefully it all dies off.

Whether you're wowed is insignificant.

Many people turn to religion later in life. You don't know that...you've never been a part of a church?

And all people have flaws. Should they all die off? Seriously - every type of personality is represented in churches.

I just quit going decades ago because of the church splits over issues. I decided it was time well wasted, that I'd rather

just go fishing, where I feel closer to God.

Is that really what you got from that.... sigh

I prefer people not killing each other over their version of a magic man in the sky. I prefer people being proactive and solving problems, not praying and chalking it up to god. I prefer not holding onto the outdated policies and ideologies of the past because its in your story book. I prefer people actively seeking knowledge and advancing society.

If someone needs to rationalize something by using a higher power, great. Religion can be a great source if charity too. I still don't think that outweighs the negatives and regressive influence it has on society.
