1 Samuel 18:25-27
“Say to David, ‘The king wants no other price for the bride than a hundred Philistine foreskins, to take revenge on his enemies.’” Saul’s plan was to have David fall by the hands of the Philistines.When the attendants told David these things, he was pleased to become the king’s son-in-law. So before the allotted time elapsed, David took his men with him and went out and killed two hundred Philistines and brought back their foreskins. They counted out the full number to the king so that David might become the king’s son-in-law. Then Saul gave him his daughter Michal in marriage.
Discuss.
Religion is a penis fetish.
I see that the loon has blamed the victims in Paris. They weren’t at home worshipping on the Sabbath, so they all deserved to die, as do all of us except the batshit crazy loon. It’s God’s plan.

The Abrahamic religions are all pederast death cults.
The gun is good, the Penis is evil.
Just read the chapter on those events last night in The Secret Chord. The slaughter of 100 Philistines fits into the general carnage of the times… sadly. http://www.goodreads.com/book/.....cret-chord
So Michal is the woman who launched a 100 dicks?
It’s a ‘get-out-of hell-free’ card that allows Christians to feel superior even as they sin their way through life just like everybody else.
The Quitta from Wasilla on her unmarried daughter being knocked up again, “Well, the cool thing about putting your faith in God,” Palin replied in a folksy voice, “is he certainly is a God of second chances and third and fourth and fifth chances.”

@6 Sin is just another religious myth. No such thing exists except in people’s heads. Heads clouded by a lifetime of brainwashing.
Pretty good deal for David. Kill 200 Philistines and get to keep their plunder and just turn over their foreskins. Yet this dude supposedly wrote the 23 Psalm among others.
@6 Sin is a useful social myth as well and we are social animals. We even blush, and that seems connected to us being social animals. Being embarrassed is a very good social attribute. It’s unlikely tigers are ever embarrassed. It’s always better to be invited to lunch by a human than a tiger.
Over thousands of years this concept of sin and other social graces developed. The ability to apologize is uniquely social, and involves this concept of sin and of right and wrong. Many husbands and wives finally learn an apology can go a long way even when they aren’t guilty of any slight.
@9 A person does not need to believe in myths to be kind and ethical. A person can believe in right and wrong without shame. In fact, I find the most self righteous to be without shame. They are never wrong i.e. Palin and her promiscuous daughter. I’m all for sexual liberty that doesn’t make any claim to be virtuous. They make it look like something bad they have been given special permission to do. And in my experience, there are plenty of people in this world more vicious than tigers who claim god as an ally.
@3, the original Abrahamic religion thinks penii are just fine. You’re thinking of the second Abrahamic religion.
That triple pressure caused a head explosion @2
KAAAAAAAAAAAAAABLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
