Evil Bible Quote of the Day for Nov. 18 (Eunuchs are Special) |
Evil Bible Quote of the Day for Nov. 18, 2003 from www.EvilBible.com:
Eunuchs and Virgins are Special in Heaven (Wisdom 3:13-14 NAB)
"Yes, blessed is she who, childless and undefiled, knew not
transgression of the marriage bed; she shall bear fruit at the visitation of
souls. So also the eunuch whose hand wrought no misdeed, who held no wicked
thoughts against the LORD- For he shall be given fidelity's choice reward
and a more gratifying heritage in the LORD'S temple."
(Note: the Book of Wisdom is mainly in the Catholic versions of the bible.)
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?

Isn't this likely to be a rather praiseworthy attempt to overcome
prejudice against the childless woman and the eunuch?

No. Look at the language used here; "undefiled", "transgression of the
marriage bed", "misdeed", "wicked thoughts". Clearly this is more of the
Bible's ranting about the evils of sex even in a marriage.

I doubt it. Especially when you consider Matthew 19:12 which says:
For there are eunuchs, that were so born from their mother's womb: and
there are eunuchs, that were made eunuchs by men: and there are
eunuchs, that made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's
sake. He that is able to receive it, let him receive it.
That last sentence certainly encourages all believers to perform
castration (for the kingdom of heaven's sake).
So, where are all of the dickless fundies?
