Holy Scripture

[poliphilo]

I attended theological college in the 1970s- where I was taught that the old testament is unhistorical, the gospels utterly unreliable, the sayings of Jesus plagiarised  and the whole Bible (though it wasn't put that way) a crazy patchwork of lies and forgeries.  I was then expected to go out and preach from it as if I believed it was the Word of God.

It did my head in. 

When I became a witch I made a virtue out of there being no such thing as a Wiccan scripture.

I only got 15 - but I got all the ones about sacrificing virgin daughters or other virgin females - and the pagans are the ones accused of sacrificing. Yet we'd only do it if we stuck to the bible.

Biblical fundamentalists read the Bible selectively. Most of them are probably unaware of the virgin sacrifices. The Quiz highlights just how disagreeable and inhumane the Bible can be.
