Whenever we read the obscene stories, the voluptuous debaucheries, the cruel and tortuous executions, the unrelenting vindictiveness with which more than half the Bible is filled, it would be more consistent that we called it the word of a demon than the word of a God. It...has served to corrupt and brutalize mankind. Thomas Paine
About This Quote

The Bible is one of the most widely read books in the world, but many people consider it to be filled with violence and hate. The Satanic Bible was written by Anton LaVey, founder of the Church of Satan, and has become one of the most widely read Satanic bibles. LaVey was particularly critical of the Old Testament, describing it as "one long litany of horror, torture and murder."
