መጠጥ ለማህበረሰባችን በጣም ጎጂ የሆነ ነገር ነው። ቤተሰብን ያጣላል፣ ያፋታል እናም አእምሮዋችንን በስርአት እንዳይሰራ ያደርጋል። But the Bible clearly allows it - Psalm 104:15 and Ecclesiastes 9:7.
In addition:
- It also has some cruel ruling towards a woman who was raped - Deutronomy 22:28-29 says that if a woman who is virgin was raped, the man will have to pay the girl's father and he must marry her and he can never divorce her. What about the woman's right? Just because she was raped, she has to live with her rapist for the rest of her life. And yhe man rapes and he pays and gets a woman to be his wife and that's it! No more punishment for him. This is so unfair for the woman.
- It also supports having sex with your children - Genesis 19:32 describes about the daughters talking about sleeping with their father to "preserve offspring"
- It also supports Genocide - 1 Samuel 15:3 says that "God" wants to kill the Amalek and it tells to destroy all what they have and not to spare them at all and kill the men, women and INFANTS and even the ox, sheep, camel and ass. What have the infants done? And what have the animals done to be killed? It is not that they have their own free will of thinking.
- It also promots slavery in it's cruel way - Exodus 21:20-21 says if your slave dies because u beat him/her then u shall be punished. But if that slave u had beaten lives for a day or two it is "your property" so u won't be punished.
That is why the Bible can't be considered to be a guide for human beings. No matter what good things it says, we can't ignore all the bad things that it says as well.
