You're kidding me right? This is so blatantly taken out of context to just add some more slander and mudslinging and hatred to this forum. You sir, are ridiculous.

Am I supposed to put the whole bible in my post for it to not be out of context?
No but if people want to learn about the bible this is a terrible place to do so. Taking all the little pieces out of it to make it look bad isn't very hard to do.
You know what else is metaphorical? The entire Bible. It's not a history text book, don't read it like one. Want me to post why? I'll do it. I've done it before.
