Josephus:

Smoking and bungee jumping and roller skating also cause harm to those who do them, sometimes in the mundane sense of bumps and scrapes, sometimes in the more shockingly fatal or mear fatal sense. Big deal, they are all legal for those who participate. You will surely have to find a better argument than voluntary self-harm. "christians" teach historical falsehoods to their children as fact, with hysterical threats of withdrawal of parental and heavenly approval. I regard such cowardly and oppressive lying by "christians" as worse - "false witness" even, if you want a biblical interpretation.

Further, you persist in thinking that the bible is a fit document, or that the writers were fit people to tell anybody anything.

It is not. Once you understand this, you will be able to join adults in considering real issues.
