"Will people some day read our books and chuckle" Too late. And we do more than chuckle, we face palm, we shake our heads, and we're shocked at some of the horrendous shite that's in there. Being forced to eat the flesh of your children if you don't follow Yahweh? So if you get a tattoo or wear clothes made of more than one fabric (which is us all), then Yahweh will "punish you seven times over". Sound like something Satan would say but nope. Its Yahweh. Leviticus Chapter 26 versus 28-29. And read the full chapter if you must. Its worse than just those two versus
+NicosMind Leviticus 24:16 - Whoever utters the name of the Lord must be put to death. The whole community must stone him, whether alien or native. If he utters the name, he must be put to death.
