Fuck, the biblical representation of elements of the OT god were horrifying and incomprehensible
so people didnt think 'clearly this meat has a chemical that makes me sick' they thought 'the meat is cursed'
different mindset, same end result
I'm ignostic. I don't believe in omnipotence or unlimited beings.
@Boop / 브파 / C'thUwU it's reductionist to say that all religious/cultural traditions stem from pre-scientific logic though
you can't look at god you'll melt (not making that one up)
if you eat pork, youll contract a problem more likely than if you ate other foods, so dont risk it
A stopped clock is correct twice a day
beef superior
lol what
You can just cook the pork.
nah, don't bother
cooking methods back then were not safe enough
beef is the way
Some old hebrew tribes would toss goats off of mountaintops because of apocryphal mythology that claimed a demon was sealed in the earth beneath the mountains, that they had to feed.
That wasn't prescientific logic, that was pure religious insanity
youre ignoring the context of when it was written
I wasn't talking about then, I'm saying it to Joker, now we can just cook it.
You are ignoring how retarded an idea this is
Ironically, the Desert Fathers that codified the Torah tried to erase references to those mythological traditions, with varying degrees of efficacy
@UnfilteredGarbage if youre unwilling to try to understand why they did that, thats the exact problem
all these zoomers who only know about lightning mcqueen and im here pouring a forty for my OG nigga
I understand why pork was avoided in the past, but we don't live in caves anymore and we understand that you need to cook your pork.
and also yes, some of the old ideas were fucking retarded, and theyve come a long way
which is why christianity exists
@Boop / 브파 / C'thUwU we know why they did that. They believed a demon was sealed in the earth by YHWH and that if they fed the demon a goat marked with their sins, God could not find their sins to judge them for
because Judaism was not exactly what someone else thought was the better way to live
We will go farther without being anchored to bronze age nonsesne
I'd say christianiy was a nessicary evil to progress us to a point to where we don't need it anymore.
@UnfilteredGarbage thats not the reason
@Harazu Keshtah this
again, literal
It's almost like religions were just a way to control the populous or something.
@Boop / 브파 / C'thUwU that's what they told us was the reason but okay
literal
@Boop / 브파 / C'thUwU tell me more about how you know what Iron Age peoples think than they do
if you can stop for a fucking second and i can explain it rather than just saying HAHA at me
thatd be nice
Stop projecting modern scientific logic onto cavedwelling goatfuckers
at this point I'd say it's more or less obsolete. that said I'm not gonna try and take people's faith away. they're not up for that anyways. believe me I try with my practicing father.
