This is the Bible, Continued

If you thought Genesis and Exodus were strange, get a load of Leviticus:

The god of the the Bible does not ask for mere allegiance and honor from his followers. There are extremely complex procedures which God expects to be followed when anyone wants their sins atoned, or wishes to worship god with a sacrifice/offering.

For example, when one sins against God, one must bring a 1) male bovine 2) without blemish to 3) the front door of the tabernacle for sacrifice. 4) It must be offered of the owners own free will. The sacrifice must begin by 5) placing a hand on the animals head before 6) killing it (surely, by cutting its throat). The animals blood 7) must be sprinkled 8) by the door. Next, it 8) is to be skinned and 9) cut into pieces. The priest would then 10) lay the pieces on the fire, being sure to 11) arrange the head and fat in order on the fire alter. The legs and entrails 12) are to be washed with wather before the sacrifice 13) burnt.

This is just one of dozens of ceremonies with hundreds of specific requirements spelled out in the book of Leviticus. If you're really really bored, go ahead and read the rest of Leviticus for yourself. The Bible's focus on the minutia of sacrifice, "law & justice", and "medicine" is indicative of a God with all kinds of unhealthy psychological issues.

Leviticus Chapter 5

• Do not tell on a person who utters an oath...?

Leviticus 10
God caused Aaron's (one of his chosen servants, next to Moses) 2 sons to burn to death for the crime of creating a "profane fire"...?

Leviticus 15:19
A woman is "unclean" during her period and for 7 days afterwards. During this time she must be set apart from others and cannot touch anything or else she makes it "unclean" as well. A sacrifice must be offered to a priest at the end of this time.

God commands that anyone who "gives any of his descendents to Molech" shall be stoned.
Those who do not stone this person shall be cut off.

It is not as bad to have sex with a man's concubine as it is to have sex with his wife.

Adulturers "shall surely be put to death".

Those who have sex with animals will be put to death, as will the animal.

Those who have sex with their father's wife shall be put to death.

If one marries both a woman and her mother, he (or all) shall be burnt to death.\

If one is a medium, has spirits, then that person shall be stoned to death.

A priest may not marry a defiled or divorced woman-only a virgin.

The daughter of a priest who "plays a harlot" shall be burnt with fire.

"Defective" people may not make a blood offering.

Those who blaspheme the name of the lord, even strangers, will be stoned.

God will fuck you up royally if you disobey and continue to disobey (levit chpt 26).
