The Most Disturbing Parts Of The Bible, Ranked

The Bible is a collection of writings written in ancient times by ancient persons, and as such it's full of accounts of practices, ideas, and stories that don't have a lot to do with how we live in the present day. Some of the events portrayed in the Bible are benign or even morally edifying for modern readers, but others...aren't. The Bible is full of tales of violence, sexual predation, slavery, and more, and a quick reading makes it clear that the moral compass of the stories' writers don't align with modern sensibilities. Even if you've not read the Bible from start to finish, we'll pull out the highlights (lowlights?) for you. Here are the most disturbing parts of the Bible, ranked.

What do you think is the most disturbing part of the bible?

[shackdaddy]

Actually the most disturbing part of the Bible is the way people interpret and use it to justify their evil actions.

[jamieharper]

The most disturbing part for me is actually how many small children have been taught from the age of 4 or 5 that if they don’t believe in all this then they’ll go to hell and burn for eternity! The fear many including myself felt for many years of their early life is absolutely criminal. The levels of indoctrination are disgusting, my parents had to write lines over and over about god and if they didn’t they were given the cane, literally beaten until they did it! The psychological damage it does to kids cannot be underestimated!

As a child I was freaked out about god sending an Angel to kill all the first born babies in Egypt if they didn’t have lambs blood smeared on their door. But all the adults were saying amen. I thought what if they didn’t get the word? And kill innocent babies?? They saw it as an act of faith. I saw it as barbaric and creepy.

It's no surprise that not all parts are fun and magic. But none of them tops the entire book of Revelation.

There are a lot of things in the Bible that are hard to deal with especially if you are a woman.

[dukeemzworth]

Mark Twain on the Bible : "It is full of interest. It has noble poetry in it, some clever fables, some blood-drenched history, some good morals, a wealth of obscenity and upwards of a thousand lies." The Bible has nothing to get "disturbed" about - it is just a 'yarn'. People believing & acting on the Bible & other similar 'holy books' is the real problem.

It baffles me how religious folk can read these parts of the Bible and still look the other way, cherry picking what they want ti believe, if you just get to pick and choose gods will how is it gods will after you’ve changed it to suit your own needs? Sounds like a sin to me.

The Bible is a primitive book written in primitive times. It has no place in the modern world. Same with the Koran.

[stevecarson]

Whenever I hear someone say they believe every word of the Bible is the revealed word of "God", I always know that means they haven't actually READ it. That book is full of the most horrific cruelties and murders, which HARDLY give us rules to live by.

When my grandmother was getting older, she decided it was time for her to actually READ it from cover to cover. She was shocked at the filth and debauchery it contained, which the devout and faithful just close their eyes tightly and step over.

One point: The Herod who slaughtered the innocents (Herod the Great) is different to the one eaten by worms (Herod Antipas).

[ThePanMan]

This is a very gutsy video to make. I approve.

[estherpeterson]

I find it disturbing how woman were treated in biblical times raped tortured and cut up

[ItsNrdz]

What kind of father would say do whatever with my daughters

[theotterguy]

The only disturbing part is that people still believe these fiction novels (bible, quran) written by men from two thousand years ago.

[ar]

"..that every human today is descended from the incestuous coupling of Noah's descendants.."
This explains a lot.

Back in 1985, during my 2 year-military service, I had comfortable time to study the bible in depth, the 2 treatments, with experts and scholars. What surprised me was the ignoble character of God, killing people for minor reasons, not once but very often. Then, I realized this account is like a fiction or a myth, and must be written by humans not a genuine God. Since then, after reading various sacred volumes, I know that all of these volumes are man-made and all have the same patterns: a celestial being governing us, ....
So, I don't believe in any man-made God.

[m.f.richardson]

I've always thought the Bible was one of the scariest books around💕🇺🇲

[Smiley_Face_Killer]

And this shit is why I’m not religious.

Who ever says the Bible is boring never read it 🖖
