Cruetly in the Bible

See the Skeptic's Annotated Bible. Rather long but worth keeping in mind.

Pages after pages of intolerant hate violence and all sorts of nasty things being done and the faithful being commanded to do by a monotheist god who is brimming with hatred.

Makes one wonder that there are people who actuall believe in this sort of crap. Actually, considering that the average human is basically brainwashed idiot, it should not come as too much of a surprise.
