To those of you who accept the Bible as a moral authority.
Just out of curiosity, what would the Bible have to endorse for you to consider it 'immoral'?

If the Bible endorsed acting against God's will it would be immoral. That is why the Satanic Bible is immoral. Its about humility towards God's will for us. If you look at sin it is usually if not always a matter of someone putting what they selfishly want ahead of everything else in their lives which leads to trouble.

i just love the fact that the cute innocent newborn is a sinner, disabled children are that way because of the sins of their parents, and people with eczema and psoriasis have been cursed by and punished by a loving god according to the bible

Which verses do you have in mind when you say this?

God says that those who disobey Him will be cursed to the 4th and 5th generations, but those who follow His commands will be blessed to the 10,000th.

But you can obviously see from the stories if someone turns back to obeying, that curse thing doesn't really play out.

I guess once you start obeying, the blessings cancel out the curses?

Whose Bible are you reading?

 

[chconcerned]

newborn as a sinner
original sin common you had to know that

Leprosy was a general term used for mould mildew and pretty much every skin disease/ailment in the days of old

 

[EnemyPartyII]

Morality isn't determined from the Bible, the Bible is an attempt at codifying morality. It is a tragedy that so many people have this backwards.

Then let me be more specific: how do you get the idea that kids are disabled because of their parents from the Bible?
