Biblical/Pentateuch Intolerance:
I see so many religionists rant and rave about how Atheists are
"not tolerant of believers and have no respect for their faith". To
non believers this claim is absurd. For intolerance of various
religions is the foundation of Judaism, Christianity, Muslim and many
other orthodox communities. Matter of fact, the Bible and Pentateuch
commands religious intolerance in MANY verses, even to the point of
KILLING people for their beliefs. Here then, are a few choice verses
that show just how intolerant these religionists are of other
believers and nonbelievers. We shall start with the two verses that
helped to inflict one of the biggest mass murders in history, the
Inquisition.
Woman with "familiar spirits" must be stoned to death. Leviticus
20:27
This applies to men as well as women, and the "familiar spirits" refer
to an aspect of necromancy.
"Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live." Exodus 22:18
The word translated as witch is kashaph, which refers to men and women
who worship evil.
Kill those who are not Christian or Jewish:
You must kill those who worship another god. Exodus 22:20
Kill any friends or family that worship a god that is different than
your own. Deuteronomy 13:6-10
The commandmants are only for the Israelites.
Kill all the inhabitants of any city where you find people that
worship differently than you. Deuteronomy 13:12-16
Not any city, only those given to inhabit.
Kill everyone who has religious views that are different than your
own. Deuteronomy 17:2-7
Only within your own cities.
Kill anyone who refuses to listen to a priest. Deuteronomy 17:12-13
Kill any false prophets. Deuteronomy 18:20
This only applies to the people of the covenant.
Any city that doesn't receive the followers of Jesus will be destroyed
in a manner even more savage than that of Sodom and Gomorrah. Mark
6:11
That isn't what it says.
"It shall be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of
judgment, than for that city."
Jude reminds us that God destroys those who don't believe in him.
Jude 5
False.
Ignorance is bliss. Christians should not practice free inquiry nor
socialize with non Christians:
Reference, plase.
Don't associate with non-Christians. Don't receive them into your
house or even exchange greeting with them. 2 John 1:10
This verse isn't about Christians. It's a bout people who deny that the
Messiah was a real physical man.
Shun those who disagree with your religious views. Romans 16:17
Paul, knowing that their faith would crumble if subjected to free and
critical inquiry, tells his followers to avoid philosophy. Colossians
2:8
Paul was a lying Pharisee.
Judge other religions for not following Christ:
Whoever denies "that Jesus is the Christ" is a liar and an
anti-Christ. 1 John 2:22
Christ is translation of Messiah. The two words primarily mean
annointed, but have different connotations. Messiahs are never
sacrificed for others.
Christians are "of God;" everyone else is wicked. 1 John 5:19
The non-Christian is "a deceiver and an anti-Christ" 2 John 1:7
John wasn;t talking about Christians as they are commonly known.
Anyone who doesn't share Paul's beliefs has "an evil heart." Hebrews
3:12
Hebrews was probably written by Paul.
False Jews are members of "the synagogue of Satan." Revelations 2:9,
3:9
Here are my two personal favorites:
Everyone will have to worship Jesus -- whether they want to or not.
Philippians 2:10
A Christian can not be accused of any wrongdoing. Romans 8:33
Paul (Saul) was one of the Pharisees, who were reknown for their
hypocrisy. Saul's early role was to perscute the disciples. After the
events of the road to Damascus Paul started preaching amongst the
apostles. Then the disciples were called Christians.
