                    B.B.D.S. = BIBLE BASHER DEFENSE SYSTEM
                      THE ALTERNATIVE BIBLE CONCORDANCE

                     An antidote to Scriptural Terrorism
                             By Fra. ABSALHEVADA

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

During the current "Decade of Evangelism" liberal folk are being faced with 
Christian missionaries persistently visiting our homes and causing local and 
national controversies over scriptural dictums . Their ultimate authority is 
the bible which these groups insist is the exact word of God. But is the bible 
the exact word of God?  Use the B.B.D.S. to find out and stop the Scriptural 
Terrorists from brow-beating you! 

                  THREE EASY STEPS TO ACTIVATE YOUR B.B.D.S.:

1) Obtain your own personal copy of the KING JAMES EDITION of the Bible 
(second-hand bookshops usually have plenty of copies for a few pence a throw). 

2) Using the index provided find each reference quoted and circle the verse in 
red ink, writing in the cross-reference to the contradiction. Do this for the 
entire index. YOU NOW HAVE AN ANTI-BIBLE BASHER KIT which you can use to 
protect yourself if they come knocking at your door. 

3) When the missionaries call ask them if they really believe the bible to be 
entirely God's word. Take your BBDS bible and go through the index, get the 
bible bashers to read out the offensive and contradicting verses from their 
own bible and counter it with YOURS.  Ask them again;  is this bible really 
the word of God???

   THE BIBLE IS AN IMPORTANT AND INFLUENTIAL HISTORICAL DOCUMENT BUT IS IT 
  REALLY THE EXACT WORD OF GOD AS BIBLE-THUMPERS BELIEVE? SEE FOR YOURSELF: 


                      OFFENSIVE LANGUAGE - WORD OF GOD?
                      ---------------------------------
   a) EAT FAECES AND DRINK URINE; 2 KINGS 18:27 and ISAIAH 36:12.
   b) FAECES ON YOUR FACES; MALACHI 2:3.

   f) YE ARE THE BASTRADS...; HEBREWS 12:8.
   g) PRESSED BREASTS AND BRUISED TITS; EZEKIEL 23:3 (Chapter 23 
      is particularly vile and pointless).

                   INCEST, LEWDNESS AND SMUTT IN THE BIBLE.

           WEIRD/PSYCHOPATHIC QUALITIES ATTRIBUTED TO GOD BY THE BIBLE.
          -----------------------------------------------------------
   a) A HISSING GOD? ISAIAH 5:26, 7:18, ZECH. 10:8.

   g) A TIRED GOD? GENESIS 2:2-3, EXODUS 31:17.

                    ANTI-SOCIAL ACTIVITIES & STRANGE DISCREPANCIES.
                ----------------------------------------------
   a) JESUS IGNORANT OF SEASONS; MARK 11:12.
   b) HATE IS FOUNDATION OF FAITH; LUKE 14:26.
   c) JESUS IS RACIST; MATTHEW 10:5-6.
   d) JESUS KILLS 2,000 PIGS IN MAGICAL RITE; MARK 5:13.
   e) SAMSON KILLS 1,000 MEN WITH A DONKEY'S JAWBONE!! JUDGES 15:15-16.

SO IS THE BIBLE REALLY THE EXACT WORD OF GOD AND VALID AS AN ULTIMATE 
AUTHORITY FOR ALL MORAL AND SPIRITUAL JUDGEMENTS?  ARE THESE REALLY GOD'S 
WORDS?

The Bible Basher Defence System is a historic document which was very useful to the SAFF and to others who defended freedom of speech from attack by Fundamentalists in the pre-internet days. We laud the insight of Frater Absalhevada and his theological knowledge used in compiling it.

It is clear that on the web an updated version not limited in length or size will be relevant and if any person reading this would care to build on Absalhevada's work by sending us digitised files of the verses he refers to above, we will of course include them (and an acknowldgement of their contribution) in an expanded page to allow more efficient use by other free-thinkers and those who find themsleves being preyed upon by extremists.

As the footer above suggests. The text of the above may be used by anyone free of charge either on the net or in print providing it is copied in its entirety and the following acknowledgement is attached to it.

Can You Give Us A Helping Hand?

The SAFF has campaigned for and protected freedom of thought and belief for over two decades using entirely voluntary unpaid help with the aid of donations from well-wishers large and small.

Unlike many non-profitmaking organisations in this field, the SAFF is unique in never ever paying anyone a wage or wasting contributions on 'professional' services or advertising. All donations go directly to the sharp end of protecting freedom of belief. I know it's hard to believe but the fantastic research and achievements of the SAFF over the years has all been done by talented people with an unshakeable committment to what is right, who have never taken any money for all their hard work - but we can't do it alone.

If you would like to ensure that we continue to expand our work on an individual and global level you can join as an active member and get involved or simply use the donation button below to send us a vote of thanks.

Donations are handled for us on-line by Paypal via The Sorcerer's Apprentice Bookshop (the one that was firebombed in 1989 by fundamentalist agitators and which has been providing a trustworthy service to freethinkers since 1975). Every single penny of your donation comes direct to us - the S.A. does not charge us for handling it. This system ensures that nobody but Paypal sees your card and personal details; further you can remain anonymous if you wish. You choose the amount you can afford to donate. A penny, pound or tenner or anything in between.

By donating using the button below you can help strike a significant blow at the forces of oppression which seek to deny you your freedom of choice. Simply click the donate button and relax in the knowledge that we will get on with the job.

A Message From Darren
SAFF Helper Hi there, I'm Darren Smith. I volunteered to work with the SAFF and ended up doing a two year stint almost full time! But I loved every minute of it.

When I started my own business I could only volunteer for one day a week but I've done that for 18 months. I doubt if anyone could quantify just how many people have been helped out of difficult situations by the SAFF, thousands probably, I've personally been instrumental in assisting dozens and I can tell you just how grateful they are to have somehwere to go where good people with tons of experience can cut through the confusion for them.

My main message to you is that we could achieve so much more if our resources were even greater and on behalf of my volunteer friends here at the SAFF I promise you that we will make 100% best use of any donation you make. Please consider donating something, even a pound or two will swell the coffers and help us to continue the fight.
