I mean thats kind of how that church works.
With a commandment stating “though shalt not kill” you’d think partitioning good kills from bad kills would be a non-starter
I mean… its still the Catholic church we’re dealing with here…
The problem is that the Commandments in the Bible are so absolute that they can be reductio ad absurdum’d really easily, forcing Christian theologists to come up with the caveats (which is to say make shit up).
There’s nothing in the Bible about molesting choir boys.
Brother, have you picked up and read a Bible? Like even just Exodus?
Edit: I forgot that the fall of Jericho is the Book of Joshua, not Exodus, although timeline-wise, in the grand scheme of things, it’s still basically right after the Commandments, which was what I was getting at.
Joshua and the Promised Land fucking up my perception of how the Bible flows narratively.
I was raised baptist. There’s a difference between events of the bible and what christians are commanded to do. Frankly I don’t give a rat’s ass anymore.
Well yes, religion exists within society and that society’s pressures determine which interpretations and philosophies are amplified and which are silenced.
The things full of contradictions. It’s a horrible book to claim to base your morality on.
