Does it? Thou shall not steal seems pretty unambiguous.

The Gentile joke did occur to me, but I couldn't be arsed with it, so to speak.

In order to avoid spending untold hours reading & trying to understand the Bible ,in the words of the great US philosopher Spike Lee just “ Do the The Right Thing”! How do you know if you're doing the right thing? You don’t ,but Spike’s wise words will save you untold hours of ambiguity & confusion reading the Bible while allowing you time to figure out the “ right thing.” 😊 |

Does it? Thou shall not steal seems pretty unambiguous. And yet the Bible has been used as justification for any number of thefts, from stealing people and enslaving them to entire continents |

Of course it's been misused, but it's nonsense to say that it can be used to justify anything.
A bit fifth form rad, that.

Pretending it's 5th form to point out its been used to justify any number of horrible things, when its simply an observation of reality, then saying it was misused when used to justify horrible things misses the point that reducing the bike to do the right thing is simply idiotic.

You should learn a bit of history, might stop you looking foolish, again.

What history would that be? Woke history?
Even if I were prepared to swallow your juvenalia, it wouldn't support your lazy bigotry.

Judge not, lest ye be judged. Love thy neighbour. Everyone has their cross to bear.... ie., the bible's not all bad.
Dunno what advice I'd give to youngsters as so many excellent things happen without planning or forethought.

I have met couples who've planned to have kids. Weirdos mind. "We're trying for a baby."

Yeah, proper couples are happy to just be a bit careless. Nature takes care of the rest. I sometimes wonder if that negligence is instinctive behaviour.

"We're trying for the Son Of God". "We're trying for a Midwich Cuckoo".
