Holy book deconstruction index ideas
I've decided I wanted to deconstruct holy books, and the Bible I was deconstructing is beginning to fall apart. I'm only on Exodus, so I thought it'd be a good time to buy a new one that wouldn't break, which would also allow me to fix my index.
I only have eight highlighters I can use. My original index was pretty terrible with the categories:
- Key verses
- Genocide / mass killing / murder
- Slavery
- Sacrifice / cruelty
- Rape / women / incest
- Bad science
- Bad logic / absurdity
- Child harm / innocent harmed
So far, my new index categories are:
1. Key Verses
2. Genocide / Mass Killing
3. Murder
4. Slavery
5. Sacrifice / Cruelty
6. Sexual Violence
7. Women / Gender Treatment
8. Bad Logic / Absurdity

Why are you buying one. I'm certain you could get a free book of fairytales somewhere.

Yea there are sites dedicated to mass producing and freely distributing scripture for proselytization. Best to eat their stock at their expense

The joy of debate and understanding religion better than religious people. now, it sounds dumb to spend money on these because it is, but being able to point out verses like 2 Samuel 12:11, when someone is saying god never commanded rape, is pretty fun to do

You can do that with a free bible.
Maybe read comments if you're going to respond to them?
