What a refreshing romp through the bible. The man’s powers of mind, humor, decency and humanity and yes, his religion, are staggering to behold. He dislikes Judaism as much as Christianity and though he hasn’t mentioned it yet Islam will probably fare no better. Paine was a Deist, one who believes in a god but not in his active involvement in our day to day lives and rejects all rituals and doctrines clearly invented by humans. He denies that god spoke to anyone they way they claim…he says the entire universe of Creation is God’s message to us, his “Word”, spoken in his language of trees, water, sunshine, flowers, fruits and all the magnificence we are born into and surrounded by through no effort of our own. He imagines that all God wants of us to be good to his creatures, as he was to us by providing us with such bounty. Though he believes none of the rest of it he respects each person’s right to believe as he or she wishes, so long as they mind their own business….but I suppose he despises Christianity most of all because it has given itself a “message from God” to interfere with everyone else’s rights.

The Bible is a history of criminals who, if we ever saw their like, we would lock away or hang. To call these wretches “godlike” is an insult against the deity. If a Lot today took a trip with his wife and arrived without her to tell the authorities she’d turned to salt, he would go to jail…if, on top of that, he told the police his grown daughters had forced him to get drunk and then raped him, he’d never see the outside of a prison again…We all know this yet we go on praising this stupid book or stand around shamefaced, afraid to speak up when it’s virtues are extolled. Quite literally this planet and everything on it can no longer afford to get their morals from this butcher’s manual. We’ve been mightily imposed upon, our most daring thinkers silenced for centuries and our children handed over to be fucked at both ends.

After proving, with the help of the Bible itself, that Moses wrote nothing attributed to him, if he ever existed, he goes on to say…

“Besides, the character of Moses, as stated in the Bible, is the most horrid that can be imagined. If those accounts be true, he was the wretch that first began and carried on wars on the score or on the pretense of religion; and under that mask, or that infatuation, committed the most unexampled atrocities that are to be found in the history of any nation, of which I will only state one instance.”

Keep in mind that the Assyrians gave up their own refined civilization to supposedly fall behind THIS lunatic.

“When the Jewish army returned from one of their plundering and murdering excusions, the account goes on as follows: Numbers, chap.xxxi., ver. 1-3:

‘And Moses and Eleazar the priest, and all the princes of the congregation, went forth to meet them without the camp; and Moses was wroth(pissed) with the officers of the host…and Moses said unto them, “”Have ye saved all the women alive?’”…Now, therefore, kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman that hath known a man by lying(screwing) with him; but all the women-children, that have not known a man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves.’”

“Among the detestable villains that in any period of the world have disgraced the name of man, it is impossible to find a greater than Moses, if this account be true. Here is an order to butcher the boys, to massacre the mothers, and debauch the daughters….it appears, from the 35th verse of this chapter, that the number of women-children consigned to debauchery by the order of Moses was thrity-two thousand.”

Where is Andreas now with his “virgins”?

Replace our Constitution with the Bible? What a horror that would be.
