It's all there in black and white in the bible, how Joseph, using his official position in the Pharoah's court, craftfully swindled ordinary Egyptians of their land, and then enslaved them to work in same lands for him just for their daily sustenance. It is a manual on how to turn your landlord into your slave. |

kingcity: Putting our moral schizophrenia aside, Was Joseph a hero or a villain? It depends on whether you are cheering for Ordinary Egyptians or cheering for Joseph and his clan. But the undeniable fact remains that he cunningly swindled ordinary Egyptians of their land, and lived Large and elevated the fortunes of his clan on the slavery of the Egyptian people. |

Deu 20:10-14 When you march up to attack a city, make its people an offer of peace. If they accept and open their gates, all the people in it shall be subject to forced labor and shall work for you. If they refuse to make peace and they engage you in battle, lay siege to that city. When the LORD your God delivers it into your hand, put to the sword all the men in it. As for the women, the children, the livestock and everything else in the city, you may take these as plunder for yourselves. And you may use the plunder the LORD your God gives you from your enemies.

plaetton: According to them it is ok for god to kill someone and give you what he owns. . . it is grace... But when a thief steals ur stuff to give another, it is a sin and not grace.. Imagine i have heard someone testify how a man lost his job and he got the position as a replacement. . . i was like WTF Such nonsenses are called selfishness and unfounded injustice... somehow they are more deserving of the good things than others.. 6 Likes 2 Shares |

P johnydon22: It seems obvious that religious faith Is grounded on extreme selfishness. The hilarious thing is when they come in here to ask where atheists get their morality. Again, it is appearing clearer that atheists, religious apostates, are probably people born with special traits. Atheists, all atheists that I have come across, seem to have clear independent judgement of right and wrong, justice and injustice. The Joseph story seemed clearly unjust to me even in sunday school. It puzzled me that no one else saw it that way. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Rilwayne001:In order to maintain His righteousness, God must judge sin - everything that goes against His character. Deuteronomy 9:5 "It is NOT for your righteousness or for the uprightness of your heart that you are going to possess their land, but it is because of the wickedness of these nations that the LORD your God is driving them OUT before you, in order to confirm the oath which the LORD swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. How wicked are this people? Deuteronomy12:31 You shall not behave thus toward the LORD your God, for every abominable act which the LORD hates they have done for their gods; for they even burn their sons and daughters in the fire to their gods. The wickedness of these people is confirmed in other verses of the Bible. |

malvisguy212: Once again, moral schizophrenia kicks in, and you are saying, and reiterating that god's acts of genocides are perfectly justified ? Even I, an imperfect human, cannot ever condone or justify genocide on any account whatsoever. On that account, I will always remain a better human than you are, all of you Yahweh worshippers, irrespective of what trash you believe in. 6 Likes |

Pr0ton:Christian or no Christian, I've to say things as it is or I'll be fooling myself. Some stories in the Bible are didactic-they teach morals. Like Joseph rising from the position of a servant to 'prime minister' teaches determination and also shows the reward for honesty. Not all things in the Bible are worth questioning tho. Btw I'm not an atheist. Just an enlightened soul. 1 Like |

Just to seat down and type rubbish, throw insult and your ignorants atheists friends likes your post!!! More like an internet bully, accused God of killing, how many life have you save? I can confidently say I risk my life in saving someone and the person don't even know what I did for him, since 1994 today is the second time I am saying this. Am not boasting but they way you (pleatton) say things here on nairaland, is like you are the best and innocent gentle man and ALL other religious people are bad, they are subjected to you. Sorry if you take this as an insult, if I did not say this , none of your atheists friends will have the guts to tell you. But above all, I know you are nice sha. 4 Likes |

If you find justification for the many genocidal acts of yahweh as presented in the bible, then surely, a lot of us would begin to shudder, not only about your moral character, but of your sanity altogether.

Smh... I still don't see any 419 in joseph's story. He was ambitious, he played his card well and got rewarded. The gift of a man maketh a way for him. That's the moral of the Joseph story. Not everything in the Bible is totally useless, the Bible was written by the wisest of men at the time it was written. |
