> i think the practices just better help people put the ideas into perspective. but sometimes they don't. sometimes they're fucking stupid, like the mixing fabrics thing. that's my point. that's why deriding your morals from religion is bad, because they were written by very stupid people during a very stupid time in human history. intellectually, we are always progressing, and as we look to the past and gauge how we used to engage with morality, people were just fucking dumb. even the greeks believed in stupid bullshit. what moral takeaway can you have from saturn's balls getting cut off from his son? nothing. because it's worthless. if you want to argue that the bible is a good way to help people put their ideas into better perspective, why not also include lord of the rings? or pokemon? or some random other third thing?
