Weird. Irrelevant. Stupid. Evil. Ridiculous. Morons. To base your current moral system on some fantasy book written thousands of years ago, that was translated so many times, and has so many different versions, yet you say it is the truth of "God". That is absolutely psycho. It is a false manufactured reality to conceal your personal quest for power.
