Greetings once more. Adam here, an Atheist.
It appears that Ozzie News appreciated my initial effort in conveying why the Bible is fundamentally flawed, meaningless and…indeed, fundamentally flawed.
Before the likes of Byron and Casanova…there was David. Young and infatuated, David is eager to marry Michal, Saul’s daughter, offering Saul whatever he desires to gain her hand.
What could Saul possibly desire? Wealth? A heartfelt promise?
Nope.
Saul demands foreskins…specifically, one hundred of them.
Why? Who knows. If you want my daughter, one hundred foreskins need to be procured by tomorrow. David finds this request peculiar, but considering how attractive the girl is, he proceeds to kill 200 men and collect their foreskins. It is only at that moment he recalls that he only needed 100 foreskins. Well, perhaps by submitting twice as many, Saul will be extra impressed.
And indeed, he is, promptly giving his daughter to David.
The takeaway from this tale: Never hesitate to go above and beyond for love…oh, and remember…do not take everything in The Bible at face value.
