  • So, the original comment said it’s equally wrong to cherry-pick the negatives. These negatives and positives almost exclusively revolve around tolerance. The Bible is racist, antisemitic, ableist, homophobe, transphobe, etc. All of these topics are “tolerance” related. On the other hand, you have bible verses that teach us to be tolerant. And these are the ones that theists mostly quote. That’s precisely the pinnacle of the tolerance paradox. It’s exactly the fallacy of the horseshoe theory.

    Maybe this image explains it better: An infographic explaining the tolerance paradox.

    If we pretend that the Bible is “good”, because we tolerate the intolerant sections, we are not in a neutral position. We would rather have a power balance that pushes intolerance.
