[Yes actually. How many Christians do you know that put their wives outside the city when they're menstruating, or even follow the dietary laws in Leviticus?]
Are you married? I think that is pretty good advice to put your wife outside when she is "menstruating".
As far as the dietary laws. The Bible does not say anything different than science does. Do you think we should ignore the research and ignore their advise?
If you do not follow the dietary laws, you will suffer the consequences for not following those laws.

With advise like that, you're unlikely to ever get married. Good for the gene pool!

Absolute bullshit!

I'll listen to the research and ignore the Bible thanks.

Thousands dying from eating bacon cheeseburgers! Scotland sent to eternal oblivion for tolerating blood pudding! The source of the AIDS epidemic linked to "Red Lobster"!
"Are you married? I think that is pretty good advice to put your wife outside when she is "menstruating"."
Sounds like you're trying to be a low-rent version of Henny Youngman, Johnny.
Why put menstruating in quotes? It does actually happen, Johnny.
"As far as the dietary laws."
that is not a sentence, IQR7.
"The Bible does not say anything different than science does."
Hold on there, Johnny, the Bible says all sorts of things that are wildly different from what scientists have shown.
"Do you think we should ignore the research and ignore their advise?"
First, the word is "advice."
Second, if the "their" you are referring to are the scientists, then, no, I do not think we should ignore their research and advice. What's your point?
"If you do not follow the dietary laws, you will suffer the consequences for not following those laws."
So, if I eat a chunk of piggie instead of a chunk of cow, God is going to send me to hell or what?
OK, now he is just completely batshit insane. You try to "put" my wife "outside" when she is menstruating....just give me a minute to go hide behind this titanium blast shield...
Seriously, I think being as big a mysoginistic asshole as John is qualifies as a mental illness. I personally love my wife too much to treat her like garbage.
To follow the dietary laws in the Leviticus is SOOO complicated that there must be a k and some letters to make complicated combinations. Don´t trust science to give you right. And apart from the fact that my colesterol level is far lower than an observant jewish, I don´t know what would happen. Besides, when I menstruate, my hubby doesn´t put me out the town, neither does my dad with my mom nor anybody I know. We use tampax idiot.
You have absolutely no idea what you're talking about, do you?
Of course he doesn't: fundies wave their Bibles about, they don't read them, that might cause them to think about what it actually says. And thought is liable to engender doubt.
When confronted by fellow xians further in the thread, he admits to it being a joke, but they don't believe him. It's funny :-) Oh and apparently he's married and his wife is Asian.
Mail order brides, anyone?
Careful, Old Viking, Twinkies are a biblical minefield ... apparently Twinkies used to be certified kosher, but aren't anymore; but might still be in New York. It's very confusing ;-)
@Archaeopath
What's with the "menstruating"? Doesn't he believe it happens?
To him, it's probably "Satan attacking the child-hole."
@vortex
To him, it's probably "Satan attacking the child-hole." Ahh, yes. Damn that Satan, but at least he's predictable. And I suppose tampons are either a good Christian's way of preventing the devil's work, or adultery (depending on their personal grievances).
@The JamoI think he put menstruation in inverted commas because he doesn't know what the word actually means. From the context, he might be thingking that menstruation is akin to disobedience. Much like the Scientologists' supposed "don't make a sound during childbirth" rule (I say supposed only because I know little about the cult)
Archaopath -
Much like the Scientologists' supposed "don't make a sound during childbirth" rule (I say supposed only because I know little about the cult)
That's right - sounds do damage to impressionable minds and all that, especially during the trauma of leaving the womb.
Short form: Scientologists are idiots.
Put her outside in the garden like a dog that peed on the carpet?
You fucker, ever try to put me outside and I'll kick your balls up into your mouth.
I'm not one to condone spousal abuse, but in this case, I'd have to say...if he ever tried that with a woman, she'd have every right to give him a healthy dose of the Frying Pan of Justice.
Funny, my dad has never done that to my mom. Probably because he knows she would kick him where the sun never shines and never let him hear the end of it.
Also, don't you think that would be rather embarrassing for the husband if the neighbors happened to be out and about?
"Why is your wife outside in the yard at this hour, John?"
"Because my Bible says that she has to be outside like a dog during her time of the month because she's 'unclean.'"
"Are you out of your f***ing mind?"
Oooookay, "JohnR7", so let me ask you directly:
- Have you ever eaten shrimp or similiar seafood? Forbidden as of Leviticus 11:10-11. "An abomination"
- Have you ever eaten hare or pork? Yes, pork. Forbidden as of Leviticus 11, 5-7. You may not even touch anything made of pork skin
- Have you ever eaten anything cooked in fat (like fried chicken, french fries, or anything else deep-fried), instead of the fat being offered to The Lord? Burn in hell, because all fat must by offered to The Lord as of Leviticus 3, 14-17. Leviticus 3,17 explicitly forbids the consumption of any fat.
- BUT: Have you ever send your children to wash their hands before dinner? Well, they don't need to do so, because it is NOT forbidden to eat ones meal from a dirty bowl with dirty hands. Jesus says so explicitly in Mark 7,2-15.
The Bible forbids pork, hare, shrimp and fat in general but it does NOT recommend basic hygiene, quite the contrary: Jesus himself says that basic hygiene is unnecessary. Should make one think, doesn't it?
If you do not follow the dietary laws, you will suffer the consequences for not following those laws.
Ooookay. I had a bacon cheeseburger yesterday. Still waiting for the consequences, aside from needing to lose a few pounds.
"Are you married? I think that is pretty good advice to put your wife outside when she is "menstruating"."
Nice. So you think women are like pet dogs that need to be kept outside so they don't bleed on the rug. How very Christian of you. I pity the woman who lives with you.
"If you do not follow the dietary laws, you will suffer the consequences for not following those laws."
How right you are:

So next time you go - wearing those man-made fibres (Polyester with Cotton?! Stone the Heretic!) - to a McDonald's JohnArse7, on a Saturday ('Tis the Sabbath! Stone the heretic!), and you take a bite out of that burger, with it's bread, lettuce & pickle (Grown via crop rotation?! Stone the Heretic!), I trust you'll remember Leviticus, next time you think you have the right to impose your own way of thinking on others.
You fundies have 'take whatever we say out of context', we Atheists have your own Biblical laws , to use against you, whenever you lot dare to get uppity about imposing your so-called 'morals' upon the rest of us. And not just Leviticus, neither.
'Know your enemy and know yourself, and you will not be imperiled in a hundred battles'
