Since quoting the Bible seems to be sufficient discourse here, I will contribute a few of my own favorites:
Describing Israel-
Ezekiel 23:19 - Yet she became more and more promiscuous as she recalled the days of her youth in Egypt. There she lusted after her lovers whose genitals were like those of donkeys and whose emmission was like that of horses.
Lot’s daughters and the crowds of Sodom
Genesis 19:5 - They called to Lot, “where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out so we may have sex with them.”
Lot went outside to meet them and shut the door behind them and said, “No, my friends. Don’t do this wicked thing. Look, I have two daughters who have never slept with a man. Let me bring them out to you, and you can DO WHAT YOU LIKE WITH THEM.” (my emphasis)
Lot molests his own daughters - he is living in a cave, far from anyone else, and his wife is dead - who does he think the women he sleeps with are?
Genesis 19:33- That night they got their father to drink wine and the older daughter went in and lay with him.
There is a Buddhist koan about a monk who is trapped by a woman who demands that he either:
Cook a goat and eat it with her.
Have sex with her, OR
Drink wine with her,
otherwise she will not let him go and will cry rape.
He doesn’t want to eat meat as he has vowed not to harm all sentient beings. He does not want to break his vow of celibacy either. He is proscribed from consuming any intoxicants.
He figures that the wine is the least of the evils. SO he drinks it. Unfortunately once he does, he gets a little tipsy and before he knows it, he’s slaughtered the goat and is laying with the woman.
Christianity, as a faith that condones alcohol use - and looks the other way when it’s consequences include incest, whose patriarchs offer their daughters to a mob, who’s God prefers animal sacrifices to vegetable ones (Cain and Abel) and has prophets who dwell on prurient sexual details of animals, is not for me. It is not that I do not aspire to something so high. I don’t aspire to something so low.
The tenets of Buddhism make Christianity look mean, small minded and hateful. But Christians wouldn’t know that. Unlike many Buddhist who are very familiar with the teachings of Jesus, I have met about 0 Christians who are familiar with the most compassionate teachings of the Buddha.
