i'm thinking back to the oldschool stuff like "the bible says being gay is bad" and just being like... why did any of these people trust *english translations* of the bible??? obviously to really understand the will of god you have to read the bible in the original aramaic or w/e
Hm, I think most old religions do in fact contain lots of despicable exhortations. The only way religions survive is by continuous adaptation to their environment, finding ways around legacy impositions that become unacceptable.
