THE FORBIDDEN BIBLE STORIES - The author is a former ordained Bible minister of a fundamentalist conviction making a living in secular enterprises while fully supporting the church and freely spreading the gospel of Jesus Christ everywhere. The prestigious Bible schools attended provided the fundamentals to promote the tenets of the selected brand of faith. To acquire the fullest knowledge of the Bible, one must read it many times over, setting aside some detrimental issues with stories that the apologists are still trying to resolve. There are no contradictions in the Bible; they are all options of what to believe as appropriate for the occasion and brand of faith. After nearly forty years of reading the Bible and reasoning with God, giving him the fullest benefit of the doubt, an honest believer slowly notices that many of the Bible stories are too embellished, absurd, and even grossly immoral. The preaching has been traditionally done from selected issues that delight the cheerful givers. The prevalent clergy warily ostracize annoying inquisitors. The Bible is not a trivial book. After considering the power that Religion exerts in the political arena came the idea of writing this book without reservations laying the Bible on the table for the readers to ponder, especially in America where ill-advised politicians may destroy this nation. All the comments are based on stories taken from the Bible describing the many choices of absolute morality and political correctness that the writers laid open for the clergy to manipulate at their discretion. Since humankind is made of clay in God's image and likeness, we can easily compare each other's attributes. Reading this book provides an insight into the mystic rationale of the Bible writers and the nature of the God that they concocted for the Jews that Christians in America still trust, politicians pivot around, and the clergy banks in this One Nation under God.
