It's amazing so many people harp on the Bible when they have no clue about how it is structured or applies to different groups. You've been watching too many old movies where the one suspendered, one tooth, moron says, "The Bible says an eye for an eye". Yes it does, so fucking what? It doesn't apply to you or me, or anyone else today. That's Hollywood, get over it.
Ok, so help me get a clue here Bruce. Are you saying that christians believe the old testament wasn't the word of god? That doesn't make any sense to me. You're saying that the stories of Noah, Cain & Abel, Lott, Adam & Eve, etc... aren't taught as truth in christian sunday schools?

Doesn't really matter for my question though - I'm asking more about the god than the followers.

So, either god thinks stoning is a good idea - or god used to think stoning was a good idea but changed his mind. Which is it?
