It's almost like someone ungodly wrote the rules to fit their needs. But people wouldn't use religion to justify their behaviors, would they? Certainly not, right?

Nah, see, this is one of the few parts that make perfect sense. Classic A/B testing.

Both think of the children

[-] killeronthecorner@lemmy.world 39 points 1 year ago

I'd rather they didn't.

I assure you, they are thinking only of the holes

Proof that God is an evil bastard.

Gives the man who needs no wine, lots of it.

Gives the man with 4 wives no wine.

He must be laughing his ass off.

The celibacy thing for Catholics is a rule the Church eventually adopted, in Corinthians it even says that apostles can and do have wives.

The trick is to always keep 'em guessing!

[-] logicbomb@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago

The real trick is to control women and to invent the rules such that everybody will inevitably break them.

[-] RandoCalrandian@kbin.social -1 points 1 year ago

If you don't think there isn't at least as much effort done to control men (the ones they get money and free labor from), you're blind as a sexist bat

[-] logicbomb@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

If you control women, then you also control men.

We had couple of gods in the past... You really think yours is "the one"?!?

[-] beebarfbadger@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Well the one who does not belong to MY religion is obviously wrong and lying about which arbitrary restrictions must be observed on pain of being killed as a heretic.

"Bob" tells us that we should sin, drink to our hearts content, and fornicate like our life depends on it, because it does! Praise "Bob!"

Eris tells us we should partake joyously of a hot dog on a Friday; this Devotive Ceremony to Remonstrate against the popular Paganisms of the Day: of Catholic Christendom (no meat on Friday), of Judaism (no meat of Pork), of Hindic Peoples (no meat of Beef), of Buddhists (no meat of animal), and of Discordians (no Hot Dog Buns).

It makes no sense. If you have more wives, you need more alcohol, not less.

[-] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago

Because you now have five people sharing a drink together?
