Why we should not base ethics on the bible...

I am always amazed when christians question where an atheist can get his morals from. They always seem to explicitly or implicitly suggest that you need the bible to tell you right and wrong. The picture below is one example out of many where you would not want to follow your bible...



Deuteronomy 22:28-29 (King James Version)

28If a man find a damsel that is a virgin, which is not betrothed, and lay hold on her, and lie with her, and they be found;

29Then the man that lay with her shall give unto the damsel's father fifty shekels of silver, and she shall be his wife; because he hath humbled her, he may not put her away all his days.


Difficult words:

Damsel = Young woman

Betrothed = Engaged

Bad news. Whomever put that up and you for showing that filth, will get a double punishment for their crimes against humanity. Did you have to show it? Nope - only to inflame the feelings of hatred toward God which has vastly diminished on this filthy planet of abortion and homoism. Did they have to put it up? Same thing. I suggest you take that down or I fear for your indelible soul. God bless you.

Thanks for the comments,

Kold... I just think you have to be honest about what kind of book the old testament really is. This is just one of hundreds of statements/rules/acts in the old testament that are in my opinion completely despicable. I don't understand people who take it literally and don't find Yahweh to be a despicable man/god.
