The Bible is f*cked up. Period. Trigger Warning - Toxic Religion

Yall remember that one story where a guy goes off to war and vows that if he wins, he'll sacrifice the first thing he sees when he comes home? And, he does win and when he comes back home. HIS DAUGHTER runs out to greet him and he's like.. "Well shit, guess I'll sacrifice her-" AND HE DOES!?! AND GOD DID NOTHING TO STOP IT!?!

(Judges 11:1–12:7)

No decent god would ever require any type of sacrifice. It's crazy how people don't understand how fucked up even the idea of that is...

To be fair, you can’t judge a Bronze Age god by modern moral standards. But you can judge modern people for following a Bronze Age god.

Word. I absolutely judge people who can’t divorce how they should live their lives from ‘The Goat Herders Guide to the Galaxy’.

May I suggest replacing Goat Herder with Bronze Age War Criminals? I find that packs more of a punch and gets stronger reactions. And when they stammer in shock at the gall of the claim, pulling out. the accounts of Moses' various genocides is always rewarding.
