Doesn't this license defeat itself?
> The Katharos License is based on the premise that the full 66 books of the Holy Bible are 100% true and inspired by God and that He alone is the ultimate authority for what is good and just.

Just think about "Thou shalt have no other gods before me".
- spijdar 6y agoWell, you could argue that was directed at the Hebrew people under Moses, and not a directive to everyone everywhere. It's not contradictory to say not to discriminate against people's different religions while forbidding polytheism within your own religion.
- HideousKojima 6y agoPlenty of modern Christians believe the Law of Moses was superseded by Christ. Acts 15 even has a list of the parts of the law that the apostles told members of the church that they were still expected to follow, but even this isn't straightforward thanks to stuff like Paul's comments on eating food offered to idols.
- Chilinot 6y agoThat's not the only contradiction either, the bible contains plenty of rules on how to manage your slaves as well. And a plethora of other stuff in direct violation of the license rules. Like stoning women for example.
- vesinisa 6y agoThe Bible also contains passages calling homosexuality "shameful", among others. And it's hard to think of a book more discriminating by gender: "I do not permit a woman to teach or to exercise authority over a man; rather, she is to remain quiet." -1 Timothy 2:12
