Bible is not crap.
Well then let's put it this way:
"Whenever we read the obscene stories, the voluptuous debaucheries,
the cruel and torturous executions, the unrelenting vindictiveness,
with which more than half the Bible is filled, it would be more
consistent that we called it the word of a demon that the Word of God.
It is a history of wickedness that has served to corrupt and brutalize
mankind; and for my own part, I sincerely detest it, as I detest
everything that is cruel."
