    This is a disapproval to the woman. I don’t remember exactly (and I don’t want to read it again), but this isn’t a thing that Ezekiel is glorifying, but rather showing how perverse the lady was.

    Even in pre-history, men were somehow convinced that what women really wanted was: bigger dicks. Bigger dicks than human men could possibly offer.

    It’s such a weird preoccupation, and it seems like it’s got to be deeper than just a cultural thing.

              Why did you switch to the word Authority instead of History? Is it because using the word history makes your argument invalid?

                I don’t even have an argument here. Chill.

                You must be so used to people being contrarian that even my sarcastic criticism triggers your aggression or whatever this is.

                Just relax and take a deep breath, nobody here is an enemy.

                I’m merely pointing out an interesting idea that to a lot of (maybe even most, or even all) people, history, and therefore one’s worldview and values, are subjective and based around an authority of some kind.

                No need to make this weirdly personal and hostile, we are only discussing ideas.

      Well obviously there’s a biological and psychological component, which would transcend cultures. Probably goes back to times in our evolution before we were even considered human.

          Same reason oral sex probably predates modern humans. Pleasing your partner is advantageous. Whether the bigger dick actually does this is a matter of perception. Just like in modern porn.

          “Nigger”. Americans refuse to use more standard terminology like “negroid race” or “negros” and prefer to call them just “blacks”. Some local racist shit, understandable only to American racists.

            OK, I’ll give you a small benefit of the doubt that “negro” was the common and accepted term, but that was a long time ago. Even still, it literally just means black, so your point is really stupid. You’re saying Americans refuse to call them black and only call them black. It’s stupid as fuck.

            Also, for the “negroid race” thing, race is made up. Black is almost certainly more accurate than that shit.

            Finally, one last thing, calling people black is far from an American thing. It’s the norm around the world (using the native language’s word for black usually).

          Nope. Abraham and his wife Sarah. They like to go to other cities pretend like they weren’t married and then when someone fucks Sarah then God makes the bull pay them money. Happens multiple times. Really fucking weird. Abraham liked watching people fuck his wife and presumably so did God.

            Abram does it once in Egypt saying, “Say you are my sister, for you are beautiful and if you say you are my wife, they will kill me.” There’s no explicit language stating that Pharaoh took her to bed, but it could be inferred, in light of the following text.

            Then Abraham does the same shit with Sarah at Gerar. There it is explicitly stated Abimelech does not take her, and is given 1000 pieces of silver (to the brother) during the exchange.

            So weird to obscure that story in such a way. It’s okay to not know things. If you didn’t know, no need to respond. If you did know, then why lie?

      Especially good when you explain that Oholibah is Jerusalem and it’s a metaphor for how the Israelites whored themselves out against G-d and continually disregard the Lord’s commands. Ezekial is saying, in the most baller ass way, “Israel, y’all a bunch of ho bags, and the Lord has/will let y’all get decimated by the Babylonians and Chaldeans. So, stop being bad” It’s a really interesting prophetical book to read.

            There’s a whole chapter about cum in the bible. Rules about what to do when you cum on your neighbor’s goat, what to do if you someone cums on you. Basically the whole thing is part of the tabernacle racket. Pretty much any time someone cums they have to bring birds to the tabernacle to cut in half and set fire to. Probably written by a bird seller if we’re being honest with ourselves here.

                You really need to read the Song of Soloman. It’s basically a dirty love poem.

                “Thy two breasts are like two young roes that are twins.”

                “This thy stature is like to a palm tree, and thy breasts to clusters of grapes.”

                " I am a wall, and my breasts like towers: then was I in his eyes as one that found favour."

          Those prophetical books tend to have been rewritten to make them prophetical in retrospect, so it does have that element.

          I believe it was King Josiah, ~600BCE, who compiled the books and had them lightly edited into a History of the Kingdom kinda deal. The whole theme of the Kingdom of Judea being the Rightful Leader Of The Tribes really gives it away. There’s a lot of convenient propaganda.

            The books that were “rewritten” were the kings of Israel were ranked according to adherence to Deuteronomy Law. The prophetical books remained untouched, I believe. At a quick glance at my books, I don’t see anything about rewriting prophecy. Would you mind sharing your knowledge?

                I’M SO SORRY!!! I’M DUMB. I think I understand where you’re coming from. Referring to King Josiah’s reign in which Samaria was pretty much excluded further, which inevitability led to some bad tensions. He compiled the books into the official canon and told Samaria to basically eat it lol. Every great king in the bible is terrible lmao. Love it.

                edit: I was narrow mindedly, only considering the offical Hebrew Bible perspective, whereas you were considering the broader Judaism that was prevelant in Samaria. early-early Judaism is so wild
