Letting people without testicles into church:

Whether you’ve been castrated or lost one or two balls to cancer isn’t important. The Bible doesn’t get that specific. It just says you can’t pray.

Deuteronomy 23:1 reads “A man whose testicles are crushed or whose penis is cut off may never join the assembly of the Lord.”

These were laws for the Israelites who were under a theocracy form of government. You will have to find another way to mock the Bible.

Perhaps you could show us in the text where those laws were ever repealed? I'm having trouble finding it.

I went to the clip site and as usual there were ads. The first one was for psychic readings. You have to be careful where you go for your readings.

and then theres masterbation. Personally I don't think masterbation is a sin. Not that I would ever do it. NEVER! Actually I think it was misinterpreted. I think it was actually a question that got left in there. A slave comes to his master and says, "Master libation is it a sin?" Master: "It depends on who you are thinking about during libation. So there ya have it. Masterbation is not a sin, it's what a person thinks about during masterbation that makes it a sin. Carry on.

"You will have to find another way to mock the Bible."
Gosh, there's just so many ways to choose from! It's hard to decide, or even pare them down to a manageable length for a clipmark.

Oh, by the way, the biblical god has no problem with abortion. In fact, in certain cases he actually orders it to be done.

Hosea 13:16 (King James Version)

16Samaria shall become desolate; for she hath rebelled against her God: they shall fall by the sword: their infants shall be dashed in pieces, and their women with child shall be ripped up.

The same is true of homosexuality.

During Mass they would say "This is the Word Of The Lord"

And I'd always whisper "Or some words from Ancient Israel."

Proverbs 14:16 A wise man fears and departs from evil, But a fool rages and is self-confident.

"A wise man fears and departs from evil"
Exactly! That's why I stopped being christian, and I thought you wouldn't understand.

Isn't it strange how sometimes the same people who cite the OT for injunctions against things like homosexuality also ignore all the other loopy laws, then say that the New Testament invalidates the old laws, then go bock to quoting Deuteronomy or Leviticus when it suits them.

You will have to find another way to mock the Bible.
The bible does that quite well on its own. It doesn't need my help.

I have a great idea. It could be a new board game hit...

Chase your tail and leave your logic at the door with the new family game rage everyone is playing... CircularDogma!

Shake the dice, pick a Bible passage and then find another to refute it while the rest of the players rip you a new asshole for the stupidity of your first citation. Score Big Heaven Points by wearing them down with your practiced zeal. Shake boxcars and pick a Devil's Card. The winner is the first one to be caught in a hotel with a cheap whore but makes his way back to the pulpit by citing verses that mesmerize the other players.

Order now and get a free bonus... Jimmy Swaggart will autograph your game box for only $500 extra!

(See how easy that was?!)

BBear, will you marry me? Oh wait I'm a man. We can't actually get married, or can we? I can't remember, it's all so confusing! It changes daily. hmmmmm sounds like another board game. Homonopoly anyone?

How convenient that those laws are for the Israelis yet most of the Fundamentalist draw their inspiration from the Old Testament. So which one is it and how come both books are in the Bible. All or nothing, or some or something?

@ thisnamecantbetaken- Deuteronomy 23:1 reads “A man whose testicles are crushed or whose penis is cut off may never join the assembly of the Lord.”
Does that mean "literally" or psychologically?

If it's psychologically, Bill Clinton should never set foot in a church again.

@googleit

What can I say? I think it means literally. The Bible is to be taken 100% literally, remember. God must just love and need testicles and penises in Heaven, (which of course wouldn't be heaven without them ), but I have no idea what God needs them for! Maybe he's a she! Anyway, you're going to have ask a Bible thumper about that, googleit.. They probably have some real good explanation for it.

@ bartendingbear. That would be quite the game. I could possibly change my mind about dating and marriage. Are you single?

In order to justly criticize any writings, they must be properly understood in their context. Those who are "picking and choosing Bible texts" (as they charge others) for their own purposes of mockery (devoid of any reasonable understanding, or merely rejecting what it says to justify themselves, by their own arbitrary standards) cannot be taken seriously as true critics. Nor should the teachings of corrupt churches (particularly those that serve Masses and "infallible popes", that make use of Priest-craft and superstitious symbolism) be any justification for their own abuse of the Scriptures.

It is interesting that those who [i]accuse others of "hate" are blind to their own abuse ...

I don't agree. I think being able and allowed to ridicule, is an essential and non-violent way to challenge ideas. Especially regarding religion, here some, what, 200 years after the enlightenment? I am not an atheist either, yet I think it's vital to be able to laugh at oneself and/ or others. It's part of living in a democracy and being able to express one's opinions freely. By ridiculing, people are forced to scrutinize their beliefs and ideas about the world. If one's beliefs stand on solid ground, then ridicule won't rock that boat. If, on the other hand, people ARE offended, then perhaps it's a sign that their belief may not be as sound, as they may wish. 9 /11 truthers are ridiculed a...

I was just thinking. If everyone just engaged in a "war of words", then there would be no need for "holy wars". No jihads, no crusades and no one being "thrown to the lions in the Colosseum", etc. I think words are more powerful than guns and violence, anyway.

Poking fun and poking tongue, is way more effective than poking with knives etc. At least the opponent get to live, so they can admit, you were perhaps right all along.. .

"At least the opponent get to live, so they can admit, you were perhaps right all along.. ."

yea what he said. I know this to be true. I just found I was dead wrong and admitted it to cakebelly on the kangaroo dogs clip. He was right and I was wrong. It wasn't easy mind you, but rights right.
