sep 21st, 2009
oh, there is a 'good side' to the christists' idol? that's news to me.
read the 'skeptics annotated bible' on the net: practically every verse is violent, crazy, sexist, racist, or otherwise abhorrent.
no wonder that when founding father thomas jefferson of the us decided to tear out every page of his copy of the bible that was offensive, he found out that he only had the covers left.
and below, i like the limey backpedaling furiously at the end. what, the godmen threatened you or something?

<b>Revealed, the 'bad side' of Bible</b>

Readers of a Christian website have identified biblical verses
purportedly backing sexism, genocide and the slaughter of sorceresses
as the holy book's least endearing parts.
...
Simon Jenkins, editor of shipoffools.com, said: "It doesn't have to be
a textbook of infallible information and unbreakable laws to be God's
book. And it doesn't have to be one big pile of lies because of its
dodgy bits. In 'Chapter and Worse' we are attempting to rescue it from
rival takeover bids."

In her nine-page complaint to the City Police Commissioner T Rajendran on Monday, Sharmila said she was a Hindu Yadav by caste, and married Samuel, a Christian Yadav, in a self-respect marriage ceremony on February 2 only after she was entirely convinced by the man himself, his parents and friends that he had "reconverted to Hinduism and was a staunch Hindu and a vegetarian." Even during the lavish marriage ceremony, conducted in the presence of Minister for Slum Clearance Subha Thangavelu, the bridegroom acted like a Hindu, wearing vibhuthi and kungumam on his forehead, she said.
She was soon in for a nasty surprise. The most shocking discovery was on the wedding night itself, when she found that he was "bald and wore a wig". Weeks of ill-treatment followed - at his house in his native town, Paramakudi, his close friend's house in Madurai and later at Leh, she alleged.
But she got the greatest shock when she heard him confess on April 13 that he had married her at the insistence of his parents and that he had not converted to Hinduism and had opted for a self-respect ceremony because it was only legally valid between Hindus. Since he remained a Christian, she was not his legally wedded wife and the child she was carrying was also illegitimate. "A self-respect marriage is legally valid only if it is between Hindus," Sharmila's lawyer and civil rights activist Sudha Ramalingam told Express.
"Samuel told her that he was a Hindu and, hence, Sharmila thought she was his legally married wife. But he cheated her," she said. "Samuel was already married and divorced. He was bald and was probably not getting any marriage proposals. Hence, his parents could have come up with this idea of getting him married to Sharmila," she added. <b>Sharmila alleged that her husband, his family and friend claimed they were close to ministers, MPs and a top police official and threatened to implicate her and her family in grave offences</b>
