These are the two things I find most the most offensive and why.

All sins can be forgiven except lack of belief.

In other words, non-consensual serial rapists, molesters, and serial killers like BTK who believe in God will go to heaven just by asking for forgiveness while genuinely good people who devote their lives to  helping others will go straight to hell if they are in any way skeptical.
 
If you get a divorce for any other reason than adultery, you can never remarry as long as the ex spouse lives without committing adultery.

It doesn't matter if your spouse nonconsentually beats or rapes you as long as they don't commit adultery. It doesn't matter if the family goes days without food because a spouse has a drug addiction or gambling problem they refuse to get help for as long as they don't commit adultery. If you divorce that spouse, no matter how horrible they are, you are expected to spend the rest of your life alone. It's not like people can foretell what the future will bring before marrying someone. Why then should they be punished for the rest of their lives? That's just so wrong.




1) the disbelief that you speak of is inactuality a denial of the holy spirt that is the unforgivable sin.

2) I agree with you on this one, and likly is more some crap that Saint Augestine came up with than the bible!

I find nothing offensive in the bible, but how people interpet what is already there, most of the "Sex Stuff" in the bible was either put there to keep the Jews from sleeping with "Pagan Temple Prostitues" and nothing to prevent them from going to local jewish whores.

OR

Saint augistine started it and people now believe ausustines' lies so much they now accept them as truth.

It's the mythology justifying racism that I object to.

And, as per Terry Pratchett:
'Revelation was a mushroom dream that belonged in the Apocrypha. The New Testament is basically about what happened when God got religion.'
