Flauros 05/25/23 3:51:32 PM #1:	On the end of the book of Deuteronomy, so there is plenty to come. So far its been 80% just rattling off names, numbers and repeating shit over and over. But some of these laws set by god are strange. The biggest one is working on the sabbath (Im thinking thats Saturday by how it is written). Straight up says that anyone who works on the sabbath will be put to death. Its mentioned like 50 times. No Shellfish. Some specific birds are off limits from eating. No eating bugs outside of locusts and grasshopper. A lot of crimes result in exile. Pretty much anything around not atoning and knowingly doing a sin is exile. If a woman gets a period, she is seen as "unclean" and needs to be sanctified Rapists get stoned to death. Incest with blood gets you stoned to death. Incest with someone through marriage (like an aunt) and god will make you sterile. Cross dressing is seen as an "abomination", along with wearing some mixed fabrics. Then there is the sacrifices. God loves him some sacrifices. That had to have mentioned at least 1000 animal sacrifices so far. That tabernacle must smell like absolute shit because they mention how it is just covered in blood and has animals being burnt upon an alter constantly and another alter where the fat and guts of other animals are being burned nonstop. Its an interesting text, thats for true. --- https://i.imgur.com/EX6Md7k.gif https://i.imgur.com/ygAzHKB.mp4 https://i.imgur.com/c84omp7.gif https://i.imgur.com/Hj9RrC6.mp4 <cite>Flauros posted [p:973712781] in Listening ...

I once brought up the Old Testament to a relative who claimed he had read the whole thing. After being disturbed and surprised by some of it (it's neat that God actually hardened Pharaoh's heart so he couldn't choose a different path) he proceeded to say "well, we don't use that one anymore!". As though it makes some kind sense that the Bible has two halves, but only one counts for important stuff like a talking snake and a TARDIS that can only ever animal on Earth because reasons. Even better is that most Christians only have a passing familiarity with the four Gospels and don't really pay any attention to the rest of the New Testament (or ask themselves enough questions about Paul and his role for example). --- Cuteness is justice!

"Are you quite sure that kid's mine?" "Of course it is, darling, God would never have allowed the birth otherwise." Well I didnt say that lol. You're raising the comments out of context. In the scriptures if infidelity was suspected an accusation had to be made and a special elixir would be given to the woman. If she did it then the conception wouldn't happen and if she didn't nothing would happen. If nothing was reported obviously the baby would be born. Happened plenty of times in the Bible actually. King David fathered a son through infidelity. --- This post didn't exist to you until you read it. You willed it into existence in your psyche by choosing to observe it. Thats the power you have.
