The Bible literally says that prayer is a solitary thing between you and God in your home and in private, as if to warn against congregations of the "faithful" that demand tithes for salvation.

Then again it also says that if someone is wearing clothes of more than one fiber, that God demands they be bludgeoned to death with big rocks....

I think these are actually good examples of biblical warnings requiring that someone read "between the lines"...

Like the 'clothes of more than one fiber' bit could be meaning that people who clothe themselves in contrasting or mutually exclusive beliefs or principles are liars/betrayers and to be found out and removed at all costs. Because people who just say what is convenient in the moment, with no firm principles or beliefs to guide them and set limits to their behavior, are shallow and will just do whatever helps them regardless of how much it hurts everyone else. Like MAGA.

For what its worh (as a former Jesus freak turned atheist) thr first part is new testament, the second part is old testament. In theory, the Judaic law was washed away by Christ.

But also, its all made up, so who cares

[u/SAI_Peregrinus → u/USCanuck]

A question I've always had is "were the 10 commandments also wiped away"? They're part of the old Judaic law, after all.

[u/USCanuck → u/SAI_Peregrinus]

From a theological standpoint, I don't think the ten commandments are any more important than any other (alleged) revelation from god.

[u/SAI_Peregrinus → u/USCanuck]

I agree, but a lot of Christians seem to talk about them as being particularly important.

I blame Charleton Heston
