Apparently, the god of the bible was into streaking as a form of protestingl

Isaiah chapter 20:

2 at that time the Lord spoke through Isaiah son of Amoz. He said to him, “Take off the sackcloth from your body and the sandals from your feet.” And he did so, going around stripped and barefoot.

3 Then the Lord said, “Just as my servant Isaiah has gone stripped and barefoot for three years, as a sign and portent against Egypt and Cush,

They don't find it at all offensive or sexual in a "dirty way".

If your using wikipedia or something to that please change your version.
I taught Sunday School for two years to 4th and 5th graders--the Old Testament, no less, and I had to phrase things differently while still getting the point across to the kids. It's tricky to do with kids, but I don't think it's deceitful. It's telling the story in a different way to a different audience. Many jews, I believe do the same thing with parts of the Bible.

All I can say is the Bible has some pretty trippy stuff.

most adults don't even know the bad parts of the bible, since pastors/teachers skip over it. my mom at age 60 read about this gang rape ,murder,dismemberment of a prostitute in the bible and didn't speak for 2 days because she was mortified.

And you have proof that your god can? Oh, wait you don't.

It's always convenient to base your arguments around unseeable, unknowable beings and base your assertions on that which can not be proven.

Intellectual laziness at its finest.

Yes, There is a Childrens Bible.
Why do you care? Or would you rather the Kuran, 50 shades of grey?
Regardless of whats taught to my kids, my wife and I are involved, and check their homework, volunteer for school events. Be a part of the education system, not a hater

I don't know anything about 50 Shades of Gray. I've never read it.

However, I will say that children should not be exposed to the Bible or the Koran.

Before any of you knock science or the Bible ... take a good long look at both .. because if you try to discredit one over the other, you will always be wrong.

The Bible backs Science just like Science backs the Bible .. They are either both fairytales .. or not .. which is it? .. You can't have it one way or the other.

Creation and Evolution are both true ..

Now what's all this nonsense about being feeble? ..


Good post thanks. I guess we have to overlook the ignorance .

There is ZERO evidence humans are capable, or have ever been capable of living that long. None.

Morons will attempt to use the bible as some form of "evidence". The bible is best used as toilet paper, and it certainly carries no evidentiary credibility.


Everyone has an opinion and thats all you have. Prove that the world was not created if you can. I am sure you cannot. Maybe you have proof the the world started from nothing "big bang". Can you proove that?

Cite one scientist who claimed the Big Bang "started from nothing".
