    Bernard Keane Retweeted Lyle Shelton

    Agree. I especially like the bits advocating slavery, genocide, murder and systematic oppression of women. And not eating shellfish.https://twitter.com/LyleShelton/status/910639737483911168 …

        I love when the 'God of love' decides a great test is to tell a dad to sacrifice his only son to show he loves God! Such a great kids book.

        a Catholic teacher of mine tried to explain that away as a metaphor for abandoning "cruel" pagan religions for monotheism.

        Yeah, my mum tried to explain it as teaching us to not be attached to this world. But somehow, I wasn't sold on child murder as an ok test

        and if killing your own son was verboten, killing all of the Hittites or the Caananites or whatever was perfectly OK.

        Or all the first born kids in Egypt. Oh and if you're wife is infertile, the solution is to impregnate your servant - that adultery is fine.

        It's in the Book of Apocrypha. "And Jesus spaketh, 'Verily, he that taketh of the eggplant shall be shunned, yea and unto the end of time.'"

        Aramaic translation dispute, bowlderised for King James, no "of" thus "taketh the eggplant (i.e. as his wife) Shelton shunned..." OK to eat.
