Actually, you're right. I thought that too when I read it back ... it WAS very "clever Trevor", wasn't it?

8And Judah said unto Onan, Go in unto thy brother's wife, and marry her, and raise up seed to thy brother.
9And Onan knew that the seed should not be his; and it came to pass, when he went in unto his brother's wife, that he spilled it on the ground, lest that he should give seed to his brother.
10And the thing which he did displeased the LORD: wherefore he slew him also. |
Could just as easily have masturbated to avoid getting her pregnant, not really the point anyway, spilling seed on the ground was an integral part of the Egyptian mysteries that they were trying to discredit because of a difference in dogma

What I'd like to know is which porn magazine did that weird story about Judah and Onan come from 
Were there any pictures?

I'm not wrong, the writers of the bible despised the Egyptian practice of masturbation in ceremonies and used any and all means to discredit it.
And why did you tell me you weren't a Christian Dave? Have you found it is better to push the fundy cause without the embarrassment of owning up to antiquated beliefs?

I have already told you on a number of occasions so I'm sick of bringing it up again, ask Nuxta what my beliefs are, we had a bit of a debate about it a while ago. One does not have to be a christian to have a good knowledge of the Bible believe it or not. You obviously do not, however.
OK I'm speaking slowly so you'll understand.
God told Onan to sleep with his late brother's wife, so that his brother could have descendants. (This was legal according to Hebrew law)
Onan went to fulfil his duty (as is decreed elsewhere in the Bible) but did not want to have a kid who wouldn't belong to him, so he made sure that there was no chance of his brother's wife getting pregnant. God got pissed off and Onan got snapped. The end.

That sounds like a very case-specific issue. There are no universal truths to be gleaned from it, in my opinion. Just an old story about something that may or may not have happened.
Like a lot of stuff in the Bible, it might have been important to some people a long time ago. It always annoys me how the fundamentalists try to take these ancient stories and turn them into life-and-death moral issues for the modern world.
Not that I'm saying you're a fundamentalist, David ... although I think our friend, Nuxta, is a bit that way inclined ... God love him

Hypocrisy is the one defining trait of the right wing christian fundy, never met a single one that embraced love thy neighbour, forgiveness or mercy
The last christian died on the cross!

And back to the original post:

Does the rate of violence go up because there are rats who still believe in '(I'm a dinosaur)-bashing?'
Anyway, I couldn't give a rats clacker, though it sounds like plenty of rats would.

I've heard the earth is only 6000 years old Dr Alf... is this true?
Those mad scientists and all their geological proof, I wish Dave and Nuxta would tell them we are living on a 6 minute egg because some sandal wearing scribe with sand up his crack said so a long time ago
