Often in religious discussions, I'm told "I don't believe everything in the bible, but I do think it's generally a good book to live your life by." Either those people haven't really read the bible (most likely) or they are scary people. Why?



When a woman finishes her period, she will once again be deemed clean when she brings two doves to the church for the priest to sacrifice.



When you hang a man (this is apparently ok as far as the bible's morals), don't let his body stay overnight.



When you go to war and take prisoners, put the entire male population to death.



Hebrew slaves may only be kept for 6 years. 'In the seventh year he will leave a free man. If his master gives him a wife and she bears him sons or daughters, the wife and children will belong to the master, and he will depart alone.'



God causes the slaying of 120,000 midianites



Jepthah kills his young daughter to keep a promise to god



Samson commits arson using 300 jackals




God orders the massacre of Jericho (and the walls came a-tumblin' down). However, god is still pissed, because the israelites didn't destroy everything and instead kept some things they thought might be useful. I can understand, though - they should have listened.
