I’ve always hated this question, because christians like the guy in the picture don’t draw their morality from the bible. They decide on their moral framework, then read the bible to find verses that support it. I don’t see anyone adhering to the mixed thread fabrics rule.

I never buy blended fabrics. I didn't take much else from the bible except for the rule on blended fabrics, and the verse about a bear that mauled 42 boys for mocking a bald guy. These are the only lessons I live by.

Ezekiel 23:20 is my daily affirmation

Lol. TIL there's a bible verse about horse jizz.

That section is weird cross between fetish erotica and hate porn:

"That faithless country is like a woman that... does depraved things. Things like, uh, what's the most depraved I can come up with? IDK, donkey dick? I'm sure really lusty women like donkey dick. So this faithless woman just really, really enjoys donkey dick. And jizz, loads of jizz. Love that- I mean, she loves that. Not me. I'm severely disgusted by the vivid image of her just going to town on that big, nice-

Shit, gotta rewrite the page. Maybe keep it less graphic so I can actually finish writing it. Anyway, yeah, such a dirty woman.

What was I writing about anyway?"

A radical new take on religion, I dig it.

At least I know why they're anti-gay now.

Yes, but, the scary part is that they don't think they're doing that! They've looked into the Tome of Ambiguous Stories and come out of it with whichever outcomes fit their fancy, but whichever Rorschach Lesson they learn, it carries with it the seal of Word of God.

So they can read the book (or have it read to them), come to a conclusion that vibes right, and then believe they were told that lesson by an infallible, ineffable, authority figure. One who can't refute their claimed charge.

Not a great position to debate from.

come to a conclusion that vibes right,

So vibe-coding, but for religion. Makes sense.

[–] warbond@lemmy.world 2 points 7 hours ago

There can be no debate with somebody who believes that truth is derived entirely from the interpreted vibes of an apparently unfathomable entity. You can justify anything as long as you know it's coming from an ultimate authority.
