Jesus was the guy who could turn a love and two fishes into a meal for 5000 people.  He also turned water into wine.  He was a big hit at parties.

If they’re trying so hard to rationalize slavery, why not condone sex trafficking, even of children? Just a specific type of slavery, after all.

The Bible DID specifically condemn eating shellfish, but that one seems to be ignored pretty readily by these same folks.

That failure to mention kiddie porn really came in handy for a lot of Catholic priests. 

Jesus never said anything about me stopping at red lights, so, no more of that.

He technically never condemned same sex marriage, trans people, or said “treat people who look different from you as second class citizens” (in fact, isn’t that the whole point of the Good Samaritan story?), so I guess they’re going to stop discriminating now? You know, because we only condemn things that Jesus…

In general your gonna find that the bible doesn’t really do much condoning of slavery. Its less of a grey area really, and more of a here’s a list of how you can do it according to biblical laws.

Never said a word about pants.

Among fellow Jews I can sound like the mother of all antisemites. I get very mad at fellow Jews who undertip and are whiningly obnoxious. Never mind what I want done to Kushner and that racist fuck Miller.

Neither of which existed when Jesus did.  Christian apologists have to really bend in knots to explain why the bible was cool with slavery.

He can be fun sometimes.

Meanwhile....

Things to add to the list of things never explicitly condemned by Jesus: cannibalism, pedophilia, necrophilia, socialism, communism.

Let’s not risk searching that guys computer if he measures what is bad only by what Jesus wrote about. Maybe he writes child bride fan fiction. After all, read this Bible quote:

Bautista was standing so still they couldn't see him so instead they went with the people the bribed them the most. 

Guessing a non-zero percentage of that crowd has at least one of those items at home.

“Klanmaid’s Tale” is a work of art.

This really should go without saying, but:

Agreed. Though I would note that as an offensive tackle apparently his whole role is defending the quarterback/blocking and making sure he doesn’t get flagged for how he blocks the person who is attacking.  Perhaps if his training had been as a defensive tackle, he wouldn’t have thought to be that careful.  To me it…

If anything, the past year should have taught us that some of us are far too stupid to have unfettered freedom.
