3:3 Immoral God/Bible
The "Good Book" this is not. The limited good morals found in the Bible, such as a version of the Golden Rule, are massively overshadowed by a plethora of immorality. The Bible supports everything from sexism and child abuse to rape and mass genocide. Needless to say, this is not a book you want your children to read. For those who claim that morality is derived from the Bible only needs to read the Bible to reinsure the fact that our basis of morality is not subject to what the "inspired word of God" dictates.
 
a
God Is Not Love
According to the Bible, God does not fit the definition of love given in 1 Corinthians 13, as God clearly "keeps a record of wrongs" or else there would have been no flood, amongst other things. Virtually the entire Bible describes God as a manipulative and controlling god, one who is fueled by jealousy, anger and violence. A God that is very unforgiving and seeks revenge through bloody massacres and supports slavery, rape, sexism, child abuse, murder, and discrimination. Just because one line says "God is love" does not make him so.
 
b
Sexism
Women's placement and inferiority to men is made quite clear in the Bible. The discrimination even starts as early as the second account of creation (Genesis 2:20-22) where it explains woman was only created as a companion for man and only because Adam could not find a suitable partner in the other animals. Throughout the Bible they are constantly reminded that they are inferior to and came from man. In Genesis 3:16 part of women's punishment is that her "desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee." Adam was only punished because he listened to his wife (Genesis 3:17).
 
c
Slavery
The Bible never condemns slavery in ether the Old or New Testaments. It does however show its full support for slavery by giving specific rules on the proper way of beating and owning a slave along with the proper way for a slave to behave. There are even points in the Bible where it orders the capturing and enslavement of new slaves.
 
d
Rape
God and the Bible treat women as property of men and ocassionally punishes men by having their wives taken away and raped just as a man today may have his car repossessed and auctioned off. In 2 Samuel 12:11-14 God punishes David by giving his wives to his neighbor to be raped in broad daylight. Zechariah 14:1-2 claims there will come a day when God will have all the women of Jerusalem raped. And Isaiah 13:15-18 shares a prophecy telling us that God is going to make the Babylonian men suffer by having their wives raped.
 
e
Polygamy
Polygamy is the practice or condition of having more than one spouse at one time. Bigamy is the act of marrying while one has a wife or husband still living, from whom no valid divorce has been effected. Both Polygamy and Bigamy are frowned upon in most cultures, especially in the Christian community, but the Bible teaches us it's okay and does not speak against it.
 
f
Murder
Murder seems to be the punishment the Bible sees fit for pretty much anything that the Christian god finds inappropriate. The Bible also teaches that murdering these people will not make us murderers as the "blood will be on their own heads" and in some cases even tells us how to murder, such as stoning. We are told to kill anyone who does not do what God demands of us. We are also told to kill anyone who we even think is worshiping a god other than the god of Abraham and kill everyone who lives in the same town as that person.
 
g
Child Abuse
The Bible is full of support for child abuse. In Proverbs we are told to beat our children with a rod. The books of Leviticus and Deuteronomy tell parents to kill their children if they curse or disobey them. The Bible even has God claiming that he will have the flesh of children eaten if their parents disobey his word. Children are murdered left and right at the command of God throughout the Bible while making no exceptions for infants or the unborn children still inside their mothers' wombs.
