  • Especially when they have the softcore in song of Solomon and the interracial gangbang in Ezekiel 23 (like it goes into detail about how much they ejaculate all over the women). And they’re not 100% explicit but Abraham tries to get Sarah (who is both his wife and half-sister) to cuck him several times in Genesis (god keeps cockblocking it by alerting the other party, who is always like dude, ew!), and there’s more than a couple incest scenes in Genesis as well.

    Honestly most of the positive aspect I’ve gotten out of the Bible is actually a fair amount of comfort in knowing that humans really have not changed. One of the oldest and most widely distributed set of texts humanity has ever written has way more depraved shit in it than HBO. The puritans in particular really did the religion a disservice by trying to make these people sound virtuous because half the time the only thing that keeps the “good guys” from doing absolutely heinous shit is literal divine intervention.



  • That level of conviction that you’re right about something can be pretty destructive regardless of specific belief system. Theory of evolution was a great step forward but also somehow resulted in phrenology and branches of capitalism that liken it to “survival of the fittest” so. People like to concentrate power amongst themselves and people like them then justify it as them being smarter and more right about some kind of fundamental truth about the universe. Assholes gonna asshole regardless.



  • Yeah it’s one of those "things that separate us from (most) animals. We can ask “what if” and simulate the probable result with a decent amount of accuracy completely internally. It’s a really cool feature if you know what to do with it, it’s just sometimes it runs some really weird simulations “just in case.”
