The Repulsive Bible

Via Debunking Christianity comes the video Proving that the Bible is Repulsive, from website God is imaginary. It's another foray into the pages of the greatest horror story ever written:

Not much need be said about the content, other than to note that it's a great way to explain to believers why so many tenets of Abrahamic religion are not merely unbelievable to the rational mind, but are outright disgusting. Death to anyone working on the Sabbath... Death to rebellious children... Death to adulterers... Death to homosexuals... Death to followers of other gods... Eternal fiery torment... Subjugation for women... Ownership and even murder of slaves... Massacres of children... Repulsive is too kind a word for such an immoral, subhuman code.

Needless to say, over in the Debunking Christianity comments there's the predictable-as-death-and-taxes attempt to weasel out of the Bible's grotesque commandments:

The 10 commandments weren't given to people who work at Burger King or Wal-Mart. They written for and to the Israelites only.

Israelites only – true or false? It doesn't matter. Just as it doesn't matter whether God got mellow and toned down the bloodlust around 2000 years ago when He became a pappy. What matters is this: If the Bible's alleged God ever forced those inhuman laws upon anybody, then He needs to be hunted down and killed. Period.

In all of Christian apologetics, there's nothing that strikes me as repulsive as "Oh, well, God inflicted those horrors on other people, not on me. So it's OK!" As I don't want to wear out the word "repulsive", I'll just label that apologetic response as sick.
