The Bible - the book of mixed messages
In this "sacred" book of family scandals we find filth, sex orgies, cannibalism, atrocities, sex perversions, incest, bloody violence unparalleled in any other chronicle in all the literature of the world. Fortunately, not one-third of the human family has ever heard of the Christian Bible; not one-tenth of the Christians have ever read it, and no two who have read it agree as to its meaning. Won't you help get this book out of the hands of our children, out of decent homes, and out of hotel and motel rooms?

Fulfilled Promises
Christ demanded: "But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me."

Christ announced: "Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword."
-- Matthew 10:34.
"Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live."

Bedtime Stories
The men of Sodom wanted to bugger two angels abiding with Lot. Lot said, "Behold now, I have two daughters which have not known a man; let me, I pray you, bring them unto you, and do ye to them as is good in your eyes."
-- Genesis 19:8.
But the Sodomites preferred male angels. The Lot family escaped; Mrs. Lot looked back, became a pillar of salt; father Lot and daughters fled to a cave, at which time the elder daughter proposed: "Come, let us make our father drink wine, and we will lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father."

-- Matthew 18:8.
Burlesque

-- Exodus 33:23.
Justice
"When men strive together one with another, and the wife of the one draweth near for to deliver her husband out of the hand of him that smiteth him, and putteth forth her hand, and taketh him by the secrets; then thou shalt cut off her hand, thine eye shall not pity her."
