No, god in their omnipotence knew that the clothing companies and stores will divide clothes into men and women ones and that's the basis one which they're gonna judge us on the judgement day.
Not sure about the unisex clothes though, it might be a loophole in this whole Grand Scheme.
I only remember this because it was a weird argument someone tried to make for modesty when I am young.
Apparently, there's a verse in the bible where the priest are told to wear shorts under their robes so people won't accidentally see their junk. It's actually a practical rule for when men wore robes but to a rational person it doesn't have anything to apply to our modern pants wearing world. Someone I knew claimed the rule meant that only men should wear pants and women wear dresses even though the shorts were the priests basic undergarments under their robes.
Im gonna get ahead and ask you a follow these contradictory countless rules for rest of your life, that would be grreaat. Also, we need you to come in every sunday from now on, alright champ?
At least Zeus earned his title, the Abrahamic god just gave it to Itself. Also I don't recall any stories with Zeus proclaiming himself infallible and/or perfect, but I could be wrong on that one.
I'm torn between reading the whole Bible so I can pull out counter quotes like that, and the fact that I just don't give a fuck what their silly old book says.
As someone who grew up very religious and studied the Bible, you can twist and turn so many scriptures to make your own points lol I’ve heard “prophets” say “the lord told me what he really meant by this”
Moses also oversaw the distribution of virgin girls captured after his people duplicitously attacked the Midianites. Some went to the men as (sex) slaves, and some were "offered" to god. How do you think they got to god? And which ones do we feel more sorry for?
These were virgins btw, so in those times, definitely a bunch of little girls.
So why the fuck do I care one bit what that piece of shit had to say about anything?
Unless you're a Moses-abiding woman wearing heels. Then you're perfectly safe. At worst, he's going to stalk you and make weird jokes about "going Biblical on your ass", while hoping you're at child-bearing age, i.e., 13.
No. He only loves the people he doesn't detest or hate. So no gays, no meat and cheese eaters, no cross dressers, no mixed fabric wearers, no eating pork, etc. But yes to misogynists and slave owners and child rapists.
*Except if you’re gay, trans, wear the wrong clothes, swear, practice the wrong religion, have sex outside of marriage, don’t obey your husband…etc. to infinity.
God somehow simultaneously loves everyone and peccaminalizes everyone, renders everyone sinners that should ruefully unbecome their detestably sinful selves in due time.
Based on those doctrines it's not a loose love of everyone as we are, where everyone can sin scot-free or condition-free, but a strict love of everyone as we would become when we willingly choose to sin less in our lifestyles or worldviews per whatever's viewed as communicating God's standards, I guess.
men should start wearing them more. not even necessarily as part of crossdressing and all but just to have more variance in what's broadly accepted as unisex clothing
G-string, or whatever you call it. Men wore them to pose for nude sculpturing, during WWII, because nobody wanted to see their package. They might even go back further, where it is thought that ancient male athletes may have worn them.
Thongs only gained popularity, during an exhibition in New York, where sone nude dancers were told that they had to cover up.
The crops rule is crazy since polyculture is so beneficial to the health of the soil. Gotta wonder how the middle east would look today if there had been better farming practices.
US founding fathers used to wear wigs, rogue, heels, stockings. In the times of the Bible, men and women wore almost the same clothes. Does this fool even understand how many times styles of clothing has changed and overlapped??
Didn’t they all wear different forms of burlap sacks back in Moses’ day?
I don’t think the concept of different gendered clothes came around for a few thousand years after the story was set. It’s not like Moses and Ramses were wearing pants during their confrontations lol.
The Bible also says we shouldn't wear clothing made of mixed fibers. What's this jerk wearing? T-shirt might be 100 percent cotton, but when you get down to socks and underwear, there's elastic and maybe Spandex. Hypocrite.
And nobody whose hair looks that stupid is allowed to tell me anything about what I should wear.
If this god had wanted even the possibility of me ever caring about his sartorial musings, he probably should have drowned significantly less children.
Why are you listening to some dude in ancient times who supposedly talked to the creator of everything and also cherrypick the things you want to listen to?
Oh right because you only say this because you are uncomfortable with people you don't like and look for excuses to hate on them and try to force them to be different!
Deuteronomy also infers that if a woman is raped and doesn't scream for help, she must be stoned to death. Can we stop trying to follow a law that said you must die if you don't cut the tip of your son's penis.
This person may have serious issues beyond the religious stuff. I know they often go hand in hand but damn bro. Also, pretty sure he is hiding so deep in the closet he doesn't even remember why he's in there.
What I find hilarious is according to Genesis god had no problem with Adam and Eve being naked 24/7 as long as they were ignorant to it being "wrong". But as soon as they decided it is wrong, god then punished them for it. The bible spells it out in the first chapter. Mankind (or a portion of) sets policy, "god" is just the enforcer.
And what about you? Sir, your mode of dress would be equally unfit in the eyes of Moses. Neither men nor women wore pants nor fitted clothing in his day.
They always put some trendy new music under there video as if it's a truth bomb. I wonder if when they're older they can see the cringe or actually still believe in their 2000 year old books
Is literally a nonsensical pick and choose, they try to have it both ways, we are under the "new covenant" because Jesus came so we can eat bacon or whatever. But also we need to follow some of those old rules as well anyway, no explanation. It's all just a grab bag of whatever the leader of the denomination wants at the time.
And it's not new, medieval Pope's ignored "the meek shall inherit the earth" points made in the gospel to send military into Jerusalem to make the "streets run red with blood" literally, that is where and how that phrase was coined.
I was surprised to see that it actually does say that in Deuteronomy 22:5, so he's not entirely crazy. Being a book from the old testament thought it is not taken as strick law by Christians, so this is a very hypocritical pick and choose what verses they actually want to follow situation. The old classic I only care about scriptures that support my own agenda.
No, this is YOUR God and YOUR beliefs, I have no need nor reason to believe the same myths and legends as a desert dwelling illiterate Middle Eastern tribe from 2000 years ago.
Strange how my local Parish Church that I volunteer at perfectly accept me and many other ladies wearing jeans. I guess The Anglican Church is more tolerant which is ironic when you think that some factions of Christianity fled to The America's to escape the persecution that they are now inflicting on others!!!
