Biblical Pornography

"Yet she multiplied her whoredoms, in calling to remembrance the 
days of her youth, wherein she had played the harlot in the land of 
Egypt. For she doted upon their paramours, whose flesh is as the 
flesh of asses, and whose issue is like the issue of horses." 
(Ezekiel 23: 20-21)

"and lusted after her paramours there, whose members were like those 
of donkeys, and whose emission was like that of stallions." (Ezekiel 
23: 21, NRSV)

Comment

The story of the sister whores, Aholah and Aholibah gives a moral 
lesson against the sins of the flesh. But why does God have to 
describe their adventures in such pornographic detail?

As any adult should know, such descriptions might bring temptation 
for anyone reading these verses. For what moral lessen can this 
could this possibly serve?

What parent would want their children reading verse 21 about 
comparing the size of men's penises to donkey genitals and the sperm 
flow to that of horse issues?

---------------------------------------

Cain's Wife?

"And Cain knew his wife; and she conceived, and bare Enoch: and he 
builded a city, and called the name of the city, after the name of 
his son, Enoch." (Genesis 4:17)

Comment

What wife? At that time only Adam & Eve, Can and Abel existed on the 
Earth. The only possibility comes from, either a grave omission from 
the Bible, or his mother Eve served as his wife. The second 
possibility would mean incest.

After Cain killed his brother, God protected him by setting "a mark 
upon Cain, lest any finding him should kill him." (verse 14). 
Considering the earth supposedly had only Adam's family, who should 
kill him? And what kind of mark could have protected Cain? From the 
absurdity of this story, it should not surprise why anyone would 
read into it what they wanted. Certain inane beliefs resulted such 
as the common belief that the "mark of Cain" meant the dark skin of 
the "Negro" race.

---------------------------------------

David Uncovers Himself

"And David danced before the LORD with all his might; and David was 
girded with a linen ephod. So David and all the house of Israel 
brought up the ark of the LORD with shouting, and with the sound of 
the trumpet. And as the ark of the LORD came into the city of David, 
Michal Saul's daughter looked through a window, and saw king David 
leaping and dancing before the LORD; and she despised him in her 
heart." (II Samuel 6:14-16)

"Then David returned to bless his household. And Michal the daughter 
of Saul came out to meet David, and said, How glorious was the king 
of Israel today, who uncovered himself to day in the eyes of the 
handmaids of his servants, as one of the vain fellows shamelessly 
uncovereth himself!" (II Samuel 6:20)

Comment

Imagine King David dancing and leaping with all his might while 
uncovering himself to the crowd.

David's wife, in effect, says "Well, you certainly made an ass of 
yourself at the temple today leaping and dancing about like an idiot 
and exposing yourself."

An "ephod" describes of an embroidered robe that looks similar to a 
woman's dress.

---------------------------------------

Death To Adulterers

"And the man that committeth adultery with another man's wife, even 
he that committeth adultery with his neighbour's wife, the adulterer 
and the adulteress shall surely be put to death. And the man that 
lieth with his father's wife hath uncovered his father's nakedness: 
both of them shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon 
them." (Leviticus 20:10-11)

Comment

Few Christians today consider death as a punishment for adultery; no 
doubt because so many Christians, themselves, practice sexual 
liaisons with other people's spouses.

Note, however, that a growing number of heterosexual fundamentalists 
have begun to call for the death penalty for homosexuals simply 
because Leviticus 20:13 calls for the death of a man who lies with 
mankind (homosexuality).

___------------------------------------

Drugs And Aphrodisiacs

"Come, my beloved, let us go forth into the field; let us lodge in 
the villages. Let us get up early to the vineyards; let us see if 
the vine flourish, whether the tender grape appear, and the 
pomegranates bud forth: there will I give thee my loves. The 
mandrakes give a smell, and at our gates are all manner of pleasant 
fruits, new and old, which I have laid up for thee, O my beloved." 
(Song of Solomon 7:11-13)

Comment

The poetry of the Songs of Solomon give Scriptural testimony for 
love, sex and the beauty of the female body, a rare and usually 
ignored portion of the Bible by many fundamentalist Christians.

The mandrakes mentioned here describe a Mediterranean herb of the 
nightshade family of plants. To this day in the Middle East, people 
believe it overcomes impotence in men and acts as a powerful 
aphrodisiac. Even the roots have a decidedly phallic appearance. 
Ancient physician, Galen, wrote that pomegranate possessed 
antifertility properties. Many women in ancient days used 
pomegranate, (as well as other plants) for birth control, with 
little interference from religious or political authorities. Studies 
in the 1930s showed that pomegranate reduced fertility in laboratory 
animals, much as modern contraceptive pills do. [Archaeology, 
March/April 1994]

Eat Human Feces!

"And thou shalt eat it as barley cakes, and thou shalt bake it with 
dung that cometh out of man, in their sight. And the LORD said, Even 
thus shall the children of Israel eat their defiled bread among the 
Gentiles, whither I will drive them." (Ezekiel 4:12-13)

Comment

How many good Christians today realize that their God has 
coprophilic tendencies?

One wonders what value, nutritional or moral, it would serve the 
people to eat human feces with their bread, as God ordered. Note, 
God here has also ordered, the voyeuristic-like observation of the 
feces coming out man.

---------------------------------------

Eating Dung And Drinking Piss

"But Rabshakeh said unto them, Hath my master sent me to thy master, 
and to thee, to speak these words? hath he not sent me to the men 
which sit on the wall, that they may eat their own dung, and drink 
their own piss with you?" (II Kings 18:27)

Comment

Whatever moral lesson an adult might gain from such vulgar verses, 
one can only wonder. How many parents realize that their children, 
who might come across such filthy passages, could get the wrong 
message?

Any mention of drinking of feces and urine in any secular writing 
would get considered obscene and sick by any righteous minded 
Christian. Then why should it not receive the same consideration if 
found in a bible?

Note the word "piss" stands as one of the vulgar words that does not 
get allowed on television programming. If Christians wish to censor 
such language from secular sources, then it behooves them to give 
themselves as an example and thus censor the obscene verses from 
their own Bible.

(See also Isaiah 36:12)

---------------------------------------

Eating Dung And Son

"And there was a great famine in Samaria: and, behold, they besieged 
it, until an ass's head was sold for fourscore pieces of silver, and 
the fourth part of a cab of dove's dung for five pieces of silver." 
(II Kings 6:25)

"And the king said unto her, What aileth thee? And she answered, 
This woman said unto me, Give thy son, that we may eat him to day, 
and we will eat my son to morrow. So we boiled my son, and did eat 
him: and I said unto her on the next day, Give thy son, that we may 
eat him: and she hath hid her son...." (II Kings 6:28-29)

Comment

According to the Bible, a horrible famine took place in Samaria 
where in desperation, the people ate feces of doves, (strangely 
worth more than a donkey's head). The same chapter describes an 
incident of cannibalism-- a son boiled alive by his mother to 
provide food.

---------------------------------------

Expose Her Breasts!

"Behold, I am against thee, saith the LORD of hosts; and I will 
discover thy skirts upon thy face, and I will shew the nations thy 
nakedness, and the kingdoms thy shame. And I will cast abominable 
filth upon thee, and make the vile, and will set thee as 
gazingstock." (Nahum 3:5-6) "Look, I am against you!- declares 
Yahweh Saboath- I shall lift your skirts as high as your face and 
show your nakedness to the nations, your shame to the kingdoms. I 
shall pelt you with filth." (Nahum 3:6, The New Jerusalem Bible)

Comment

Some think these verses describe a genius of a poet. If judged as 
such, it can only come from its sharpness and vividness. But it also 
describes vulgarity and hatred, even if it aims against the harlotry 
of the city of Nineveh.

Few scholars today believe that these verses come as a direct quote 
from God. But a fundamentalist who believes every word of the Bible, 
must also accept these words as Godly. If so, then how can one not 
see God in a cruel vulgar light?

"Filth" here refers to dung. (See also Malachi 2:2-3 where God says 
"I will corrupt your seed, and spread dung upon your faces...")

---------------------------------------

Fatal Orgasm

"And Er, Judah's firstborn, was wicked in the sight of the LORD; and 
the LORD slew him. And Judah said unto Onan, Go in unto thy 
brother's wife, and marry her, and raise up seed to thy brother. And 
Onan knew that the seed should not be his; and it came to pass, when 
he went in unto his brother's wife, that he spilled it on the 
ground, lest that he should give seed to his brother. And the thing 
which he did displeased the LORD: wherefore he slew him also." 
(Genesis 38:7-10)

Comment

The term "onanism," from the name Onan, has come to stand for 
masturbation which has suffered a fate similar to sodomy in the 
sense that it has evolved to have a meaning far different from its 
original usage.

Dictionaries define onanism as "male masturbation" or "Uncompleted 
coitus." According to interpretations of the Bible, Onan removed his 
penis from his partner's vagina before he ejaculated so that his 
seed fell onto the ground. This displeased God so much that he 
killed him! Onanism has also received a another definition of "self 
pollution" which has caused misery throughout the centuries. God 
killed Onan because, rather than to impregnate his brother's wife-- 
thus extending his line, Onan chose to interrupt his coitus before 
he could impregnate Tamar. Onan had a logical reason for doing so, 
one that involved Jewish law of those ancient days. During Biblical 
times, any child born to the wife of the eldest son died without 
heirs - and if his wife had no children sired by a relative of her 
dead spouse - then the dominance would pass to the second son. Onan 
stood to lose a great deal if he complied with his father's order. 
Had he been asked to marry his brother's wife, thus transferring her 
to his possession, he no doubt would have completed the act. Then 
the resultant child would have been his, legally as well as 
physically.

Some time during the centuries, the character of the sinful act was 
changed. Instead of being recognized as a seldom performed 
interrupting of coitus, it became accepted as any form of 
self-stimulation that resulted in orgasm. And the entire character 
of the deed became altered, and Onanism came to mean a sinful act of 
masturbation!

Fecal disposal

"And thou shalt have a paddle upon thy weapon; and it shall be, when 
thou wilt ease thyself abroad, thou shalt dig therewith, and shalt 
turn back and cover that which cometh from thee: For the LORD thy 
God walketh in the midst of thy camp, to deliver thee, and to give 
up thine enemies before thee; therefore shall they camp be holy: 
that he see no unclean thing in thee, and turn away from thee." 
(Deuteronomy 23:13-14)

Comment

These verses ask us to believe that God has concern for fecal waste 
disposal outside a military camp because God personally wishes to 
walk within the camp. Now really!

God Given Hemorrhoids

"The LORD will smite thee with the botch of Egypt, and with the 
emerods, and with the scab, and with the itch, whereof thou canst 
not be healed." (Deuteronomy 28:27)

Comment

When Israel felt rebellious against God's plan, He threatened them 
with type of plague: "emerods" or by today's terminology, 
"hemorrhoids."

God also sent hemorrhoids as a plague to the enemies. "...he 
destroyed them, and smote them with emerods..." and "... Lord was 
against the city with a very great destruction: and he smote the men 
of the city, both small and great, and they had emerods in their 
secret parts." (See I Samuel 5:6-12)

---------------------------------------

God's Bowel Diseases

"Behold with a great plague will the LORD smite thy people and thy 
children, and thy wives, and all thy goods: And thou shalt have 
great sickness by disease of thy bowels, until thy bowels fall out 
by reason of the sickness day by day." (II Chronicles 21:14-15)

"And after all this the LORD smote him in his bowels with an 
incurable disease. And it came to pass, that in process of time, 
after the end of two years, his bowels fell out by reason of 
sickness: so he died of sore diseases. And his people made no 
burning for him, like the burning of his fathers." (II Chronicles 
18:19)

Comment

Another among many instances in the Bible where the Lord smites, not 
only men, but all the people including women and children.

Why God would concern himself with giving an incurable cruel bowel 
disease where the person's guts spill out of the abdomen, goes 
beyond human decency and comprehension.

---------------------------------------

God's Fecal Fetish

"If ye will not hear, and if ye will not lay it to heart, to give 
glory unto my name, saith the LORD of hosts, I will even send a 
curse upon you, and I will curse your blessings: yea, I have cursed 
them already, because ye do not lay it to heart. Behold, I will 
corrupt your seed, and spread dung upon your faces, even the dung of 
your solemn feasts; and one shall take you away with it." (Malachi 
2:2-3)

Comment

Amazingly God appears to have a fecal fetish.

This commandment to the priests told by the Lord gives example of 
the Satanic threats of curses He seems to enjoy. What should one 
think of a God that would smear feces upon the faces of his 
creations? Such vulgarity can hardly give good example to high 
morality.

---------------------------------------

Howl And Strip Naked

"Therefore I will wail and howl, I will go stripped and naked: I 
will make a wailing like the dragons, and mourning as the owls." 
(Micah 1:8)

Comment

The minor prophets felt influenced from Isaiah and these words of 
Micah indicate that he would imitate Isaiah's nudist actions as an 
adjunct to his prophesying.

Picture in your mind a religious man of today stripping and running 
around totally nude and prophesying in public, wailing and hooting 
at the top of his lungs. No doubt the police would snatch him up in 
a second while citizens stare in embarrassment. It just goes to show 
how far we have demeaned ourselves and our bodies as shameful.

(See also Isaiah 20:2-4)

___------------------------------------

Incestuous Relations

"And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: 
she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of man." 
(Genesis 2:23)

"And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and 
said, I have gotten a man from the LORD. And she again bare his 
brother Abel. and Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller 
of the ground." (Genesis 4:1-2)

"And Cain knew his wife; and she conceived, and bare Enoch..." 
(Genesis 4:17)

Comment

Since Eve came from Adam and due to God's edict to "be fruitful and 
multiply," this describes the first incestual relationship.

In 4:17 one must infer incest for Cain would have had to have sex 
with either his own mother, Eve, or an unnamed sister.

For other examples of Biblical incest see Gen. 20:12 where Abraham 
married his half-sister Sarah; Gen. 19:30-38 where Lot's daughters 
had intercourse with him; Gen. 38:16 where Tamar had sex with her 
father-in-law Judah.

People should become aware that many of today's incestuous abuses 
occur in Christian families and many use Biblical scripture for its 
justification.

Passing Wind

Wherefore my bowels shall sound like a harp for Moab, and mine 
inward parts for Kirharesh. (Isaiah 16:11)

Comment

This passage refers to the flatulent passing of gas in musical 
fashion from the bowels of a prophet. Could this represent a rare 
instance of humor in the Bible?

---------------------------------------

Piss Crimes

"therefore, behold, I will bring evil upon the house of Jerobo'am, 
and will cut off from Jerobo'am him that pisseth against the 
wall..." (I Kings 14:10)

Comment

If God brings evil upon a house, then what makes Him different from 
Satan?

Although the unsanitary practice of urinating on walls might have 
caused serious erosion of the mud walls, this appears too steep a 
punishment.

(See also I Kings 16:8-11, I Kings 21:21, and II Kings 9:8-10.)

---------------------------------------

Pisseth Against Walls

"And it came to pass, when he began to reign, as soon as he sat on 
his throne, that he slew all the house of Baasha: he left him not 
one that pisseth against a wall, neither of his kinsfolks, nor of 
his friends." ( I Kings 16:11)

Comment

Consider that many Christians tell us to believe all of the Bible, 
must we also include this vulgar language as the inspiration of God?

(See also I Kings 14:10, 21:21; II Kings 9:8.)

---------------------------------------

Prophesy in the nude

"At the same time spake the LORD by Isaiah the son of Amoz, saying, 
Go and loose the sackcloth from off thy lions, and put off thy shoe 
from thy foot. And he did so, walking naked and barefoot. And the 
LORD said, Like as my servant Isaiah hath walked naked and barefoot 
three years for a sign and wonder upon Egypt and upon Ethiopia; So 
shall the king of Assyria lead away the Egyptians prisoners, and the 
Ethiopians captives, young and old, naked and barefoot, even with 
their buttocks uncovered, to the shame of Egypt." (Isaiah 20:2-4)

Comment

Although Saul acted on his own, God gave Isaiah a direct injunction 
to prophesy in the nude, and it should continue for three years.

God seems not the least offended by nudity when it comes to 
prophesying, yet he imbues his followers with shame over nudity 
associated with sex, especially when it involves pagan sex worship.

(See also Micah 1:8)

___------------------------------------

The Sacred Penis

"He that is wounded in the stones, or hath his privy member cut off, 
shall not enter into the congregation of the LORD. A bastard shall 
not enter into the congregation of the LORD; even to his tenth 
generation shall he not enter into the congregation of the LORD." 
(Deuteronomy 23:1-2)

Comment

Consider the religious man who happens to accidentally receive an 
injury that results in the loss of his penis. According to the 
Bible, and regardless of his righteousness or goodwill toward men, 
mind you, but just because he lacks a penis, he should never enter a 
Church or Temple again.

Also pity a poor man born of a mother who, for whatever reason, 
including rape, may have born him out of wedlock. He too should, 
according to the Bible, never enter the Lord's congregation.
