I am not religious, but I have devoted a good chunk of time to reading the bible. If I can do it, someone who essentially stands to gain nothing by reading it can do it, so can and should all these greasy-ass politicians who use it as a political prop. The only thing more irksome than inflexibly, overly literal religious people, are phony religious people who don't even know what they're talking about. And then the next level of annoying beyond that is yhe voting public who allows the charade. They should be the ones pressing these politicians. "Two Corinthians" Donald? What the fuck are you talking about?
The bible’s a neat old book of parables and early concepts of morals. Like most things, the fanbase is probably the worst part.
Morals?
Like the devil convincing God to torture the faithful? Throughout the parable, I can hear Satan trying to suppress his laughter as he listens to Him godsplain Job's devotion.
If you like that then you might enjoy the funny possible euphemism of the whole "washing of feet" thing. It could be read as the actual act of washing feet but there's some places where it's definitely being used as a euphemism for getting your dick wet.
That slight ambiguity could mean that the last supper included an orgy with a lot of same sex pairings - which to be fair is pretty in keeping with the MO of a lot of other cult leadership throughout history. Most of the prudish sex negative stuff comes more from Paul's additions than directly through Jesus. But hoo boy do Christians get real mad when you imply this as a possibility.
I prefer to think "washing of feet" means exactly that, but it's a sex thing
If you got a foot fetish sure. But in bible foot or feet is used so many times for dick it is decently unlikely. "Foot water" is my favorite biblical euphemism for piss.
