Christian people that is. Now I don't lump all Xtians into the same category or anything, but I wish more people knew what the 'good' book actually says. I respect people's beliefs, but they should denounce shit like Joshua Chapter 11 verses 7 through 15:
Then Joshua crippled the horses and burned all the chariots, as the LORD had instructed. Joshua then turned back and captured Hazor and killed its king. [...] The Israelites completely destroyed every living thing in the city. Not a single person was spared. And then Joshua burned the city. Joshua slaughtered all the other kings and their people, completely destroying them, just as Moses, the servant of the LORD, had commanded. However, Joshua did not burn any of the cities built on mounds except Hazor. And the Israelites took all the captured goods and cattle of the ravaged cities for themselves, but they killed all the people.

Still think that God is a just and righteous fellow? Wait, there's so much more.`
So God don't like abortion or something huh? Well he does like the killing of some babies though. 1 Samuel Chapter 15 verse 3:
Now go and attack Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and do not spare them. But kill both man and woman, infant and nursing child, ox and sheep, camel and donkey.
Damn he sounds like a chap I want to model my life after. How about a bit more? Oh shit! He's pro-choice. Numbers Chapter 5 verses 27 through 28:
And when he hath made her drink the water, then it shall come to pass, that, if she be defiled, and have done trespass against her husband, that the water that causeth the curse shall enter into her, and become bitter, and her belly shall swell, and her thigh shall rot: and the woman shall be a curse among her people. And if the woman be not defiled, but be clean; then she shall be free, and shall conceive seed.
I sure hope the right to lifers don't hear about this. Oh yeah, that's right, they have just as much knowledge of the bible as they do of the Constitution (notice which one I capitalized).
Care for a bit of genocide? Well the Israelites outdid almost everything we've seen in modern times (in the name of God no less). For an example see. Joshua chapter 10 verses 40 through 41:
So Joshua smote all the country of the hills, and of the south, and of the vale, and of the springs, and all their kings: he left none remaining, but utterly destroyed all that breathed, as the LORD God of Israel commanded. And Joshua smote them from Kadesh-barnea even unto Gaza, and all the country of Goshen, even unto Gibeon.
If you want to hear more about how amoral the bible actually is, read Leviticus and Deuteronomy some time. It will open your eyes. I'm cool with most of the New Testament, save Revelations and a few other minor passages, but seriously, if you worship the asshole behind the Old Testament, I have to question your sanity.
2nd Update: Listen people, I think that Jesus was a great teacher. I aspire to live by his example. I'm railing against the dogmatic asshats who rely on the OT and Revelation to dictate their lives. If you believe in God fine. I don't and that should be fine too. The problem arises with hateful bigots who use religion as a crutch and backstop for their idiocy.
Update: So as you can see by the poll, I can't question religion, but they can call me out as much as they want. This is why I don't tell many people I'm an Atheist. People, even xenophobes, would rather have a Muslim, gay, or Mexican president than an Atheist one. Tell me again how you are all accepting...
