Uh oh, you found yourself too easy a prey, Patriot.
I believe what Kid is referring to may be passages like:
Leviticus 25:44-
"As for your male and female slaves whom you may have-- you may acquire male and female slaves from the pagan nations that are around you."
Or perhaps Exodus 21:7-
"If a man sells his daughter as a female slave, she is not to go free as the male slaves do."
Then again, maybe he meant Leviticus 15:19-
"When a woman has a discharge, if her discharge in her body is blood, she shall continue in her menstrual impurity for seven days; and whoever touches her shall be unclean until evening."
Of course, this is all translation and interpretation but I really doubt you can deny that there are things in the bible that are outdated at best and illogical at worst.
This is not to say that I don't believe in God...I just don't believe in a book written by men 2000 years ago.

I don't believe in God as there is no prove and how do we know that anything in the Bible is true?

Let me be the nice one here, DD.
This is what religion is for me: absolute no-doubt-about-it belief in God and his holy book. BTW, there's a lot of those, aren't there? Anyway, we don't know if, say, God spoke to Moses through a bushfire or (I am so going to hell, if there is one) whether Muhammad was simply hallucinating when Gabriel appeared before him. Some people just choose to believe it. Some would say, blindly.
I can't do that anymore, but billions do. Whatever makes us happy and content.

If you say that you dont believe in God then you are saying that you dont believe in creation implying that you believe in evolution, but though evolution could have helped humanity along you still run into the problem of how humanity got there so you have to say that we some how formed in a soup way back then which there is no scientific data for, it is not proven, it does not solve anything, so even if you dont believe in God you still have to have faith that you are believing in the right thing.
