I seem to recall that the very same passage in their Bible that condemns lust as thoughtcrime also prescribes a remedy—and it's to gouge out your own leering eyes, not bar women from public spaces.

You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall not commit adultery.’ But I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lust has already committed adultery with her in his heart. If your right eye causes you to sin, tear it out and throw it away; it is better for you to lose one of your members than for your whole body to be thrown into hell.

Holy fuck, the Bible is fucked up, man. No amount of slasher films can compete with this level of crazy

Thanks for the bible verse, the next time I get asked why I’m not religious, I’ll use “I don’t want to gouge out my own eyes” as the reason. I also don’t want to whip slaves, but I think they removed that after the old testament

its a metaphor....

God approves and disapproves of slavery in both the new testament and old testament. Also in matthew 5:17-20 Jesus very clearly states that the old testament is to be followed. So even if the new testament did not include what seems to be approval of slavery, it would still not matter. But the bible also disapproves of slavery. If you want a whole lot of stuff you can quote on what you do not want to do, I would suggest looking up the skeptics annotated bible. They make some great collections.

Matthew 5:17 Do not think that I have come to loosen the law or the prophets. I have not come to loosen, but to fulfill.

Cheers! Just grabbed the EPUB of the KJV. 20 pages in and I’m hooked

I'd like to point out that King James himself had more than one male lover, in case this is anywhere near remotely serious

Don't do it bro you'll end up gouging your eyes out at a gay gym or some shit
