Ok, I noticed someone mentioned the Canaanite woman so I'd love to see the Bible defenders spin this one:
Matthew 15:21-28 :"Leaving that place, Jesus withdrew to the region of Tyre and Sidon. A Canaanite woman from that vicinity came to him, crying out, "Lord, Son of David, have mercy on me! My daughter is suffering terribly from demon possession. "Jesus did not answer a word. So his disciples came to him and urged him, "Send her away, for she keeps crying out after us." He answered, "I was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel." The woman came and knelt before him. "Lord, help me!" she said. He replied, "It is not right to take the children's bread and toss it to their dogs." "Yes, Lord," she said, "but even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their masters' table." Then Jesus answered, "Woman, you have great faith! Your request is granted." And her daughter was healed from that very hour."
Basically Jesus doesn't want to help the woman's daughter because she's a Gentile (non-Jew). He refers to Gentiles as "dogs" and no I'm not making this up in case you never heard about this in Sunday school. Now priests and ministers who actually touch on this say he must be testing his followers but nowhere does it actually say that, they're basically making shit up to try to justify and explain it away. Now even if people who believe the Bible take it literally or figuratively it bothers me that regardless people have to make things up in order for passages in it to be acceptable. I used to be religious at one time (Catholic) but the more questions I asked the more annoyed people seemed to get and the more shit I saw made up to answer my questions. I simply can't understand how anyone who actually reads the bible can defend it.
