David may have been a good guy as a young man, but he was a depraved murderer as a king.

The Catholic disdain for the Old Testament never ceases to amaze me.

Hey, dude, the old Testament is where I read the story of David and Bathsheba, and how old David sent Bathsheba’s hubbie to the front to be killed. How he lecherously watched Bathsheba take a bath and probably she was flaunting and flirting.

So, the facts I stated are true, David was a lecherous, selfish adulterer and murderer and this “after God’s own heart” language is a riddle. Do I disdain the Old Testament? The Torah? No. Catholic and Jewish interpretations of the Word of God are the ones I rely on.

So, are you a Martin Luther follower? He was an evil person. Or are you a King Henry follower? He too was evil. Better watch your comments lest they make you look ignorant.

You left out the New Testament.
