These are one of the very few reasons I'd consider bringing back stoning...
No doubt "good christians" will condemn this - but that'll be little comfort to victims of christianity anywhere.

Christian Old Testament.
What I'm saying is that Christianity began with Christ and his time on Earth. The Old Testament was written by the Jews that pre-dated him. God gave the Ten Commandments to Moses. I'm pretty sure Moses was a Hebrew, but I don't know how we could possibly say that he was a Christian.

The bible not only endorses slavery, but it sets a universal rate that can be easily calculated today.

The mere fact that religious nutcases like this can even THINK that their behaviour is acceptable is an indictment on fundamentalists of all ilks - whether it be moslems in the mid-east, or x-ians in the USA, or anyone anywhere else.

Of course Faux News has to invent some BS "legaleeeze" to justify jumping off the birther shipwreck - they couldn't possibly just admit that they have been wrong and stupid.
