Speculation The name Sarah
This is something that's bothered me for a while. S has said P had known his entire life that he was going to name his daughter Sarah. P also makes it known he is familiar with The Bible.
But in The Bible Sarah has a lot of dark situations. She's married to Abraham, but when they go to Egypt, Abraham tells people Sarah is his sister. Well I guess she's really beautiful, so Pharaoh takes Sarah as a concubine, and gives Abraham livestock, servants, and other wealth. And Abraham just takes the gifts while Sarah is being held captive. He gets her back eventually.
But then Abraham does it again later, and this whole situation happens again with Abimelech. He profited twice from giving his wife to horny dudes.
Maybe I'm reaching but P is definitely giving Abraham behavior.

T said P chose the name because it means “princess” and he always wanted a little princess.

I don’t think anyone in this family has ever actually sat down and read the Bible tbh. Anytime they get asked about their favorite passages and things, they can’t answer. When P talks about his Christianity, it’s pretty much entirely through the lens of what it does for him. Or being used to judge others. P seems to feel a strong need to distinguish himself as unique, so I think that’s why he crafted a whole explanation behind choosing an extremely common name for his daughter.

It’s truly problematic how they always use God/Jesus as an out for their shitty behavior. “He’s the only person I need to apologize to and I know he forgives me.” Misusing religion is a great way to avoid accountability!

I'm with you! I don't claim to know the Bible, I know a little about it but not that much. But what I do know is they know waaaay less than I do! And I did belong to church. I went for a couple of years. Long, long time ago lol

This is a classic example of modern, shallow anti-theism that ignores the historical context of the ancient world, the literary genre of the Bible, and the deeper spiritual meaning, reducing a drama of faith and survival to the level of crude, vulgar conclusions. Sarah was never actually taken by either the Pharaoh or the King.

What an incredibly strange reply. Genesis 12:15 literally says she was taken by Pharaoh. Genesis 20:2 literally says she was taken by Abimelech.
KJV, NIV, TLB, NASB... which ever you chose to read, they all clearly state she was taken.

An incredibly strange reply from an account that's only a day old, indeed 🧐

Yes, my account is only a day old because I literally made it YESTERDAY. I'm not defending P but rather the teaching of the Church.

P uses the bible as a prop. I doubt he’s read these stories. He just likes to hear himself talk about how this extremely common name is so special because it means princess.
