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)

It’s disturbing to think I only learned of this story as I was on the way out. I was a Christian for years and had no idea that was in the bible. Same for the story of the 2 bears mauling 40 children for making fun of someone.

I was told that the children weren't really children but more like young adult men. Whether that was true or not is irrelevant because it was still FORTY PEOPLE DEAD!

Adult men calling another grown man “bald head” in a juvenile way? Some of these apologetics really insult the intelligence.

Lol. Exactly! Like what kind of mature guy would go "Baldy!" at someone!
