Evil Bible Quote of the Day for August 10, 2003 from www.EvilBible.com:
Murder and Slavery (Judges 1:21-35 NLT)
"The tribe of Benjamin, however, failed to drive out the Jebusites, who
were living in Jerusalem. So to this day the Jebusites live in Jerusalem
among the people of Benjamin. The descendants of Joseph attacked the town
of Bethel, and the LORD was with them. They sent spies to Bethel (formerly
known as Luz), who confronted a man coming out of the city. They said to
him, "Show us a way into the city, and we will have mercy on you." So he
showed them a way in, and they killed everyone in the city except for this
man and his family. Later the man moved to the land of the Hittites, where
he built a city. He named the city Luz, and it is known by that name to
this day. The tribe of Manasseh failed to drive out the people living in
Beth-shan, Taanach, Dor, Ibleam, Megiddo, and their surrounding villages,
because the Canaanites were determined to stay in that region."
"When the Israelites grew stronger, they forced the Canaanites to work
as
slaves, but they never did drive them out of the land. The tribe of Ephraim
also failed to drive out the Canaanites living in Gezer, and so the
Canaanites continued to live there among them. The tribe of Zebulun also
failed to drive out the Canaanites living in Kitron and Nahalol, who
continued to live among them. But they forced them to work as slaves. The
tribe of Asher also failed to drive out the residents of Acco, Sidon, Ahlab,
Aczib, Helbah, Aphik, and Rehob. In fact, because they did not drive them
out, the Canaanites dominated the land where the people of Asher lived. The
tribe of Naphtali also failed to drive out the residents of Beth-shemesh and
Beth-anath. Instead, the Canaanites dominated the land where they lived.
Nevertheless, the people of Beth-shemesh and Beth-anath were sometimes
forced to work as slaves for the people of Naphtali. As for the tribe of
Dan, the Amorites forced them into the hill country and would not let them
come down into the plains. The Amorites were determined to stay in Mount
Heres, Aijalon, and Shaalbim, but when the descendants of Joseph became
stronger, they forced the Amorites to work as slaves."
What kind of person would get their moral guidance from an ancient book of
myths and magic that says it is OK to murder, rape, pillage, and plunder?
