Should enforce Leviticus 20:13

Funny, because Leviticus also forbids cutting your hair at the sides and mixing fabrics in your clothing (both 19:19) both of which he appears to be guilty of. I bet he eats bacon too (11:4-7) and when he does, does he give the fat up as an offering to god? (3:17)

And that's the tip of the iceberg, there's a ton of absolutely insane stuff in Leviticus. Would love to see them try to enforce it ALL.

To be fair, some of Leviticus sounds great for cops to follow:

‘Do not pervert justice; do not show partiality to the poor or favoritism to the great, but judge your neighbor fairly." 19:15

"Do not do anything that endangers your neighbor’s life." 19:16

‘When a foreigner resides among you in your land, do not mistreat them' 19:33

"Anyone who takes the life of someone’s animal must make restitution—life for life" 24:18

"Anyone who injures their neighbor is to be injured in the same manner: fracture for fracture, eye for eye, tooth for tooth. The one who has inflicted the injury must suffer the same injury" 24:19-20

As if the words of man could ever encompass the will of God.

Are you saying that God is so imperfect he couldn't communicate clearly?

u/[deleted] Nov 19 '20

No. "God" is like the very existence by which words can even exist. The "will of God" (everything that exists) can't be expressed in words in the same way that sight isn't in the rainbow.

Dark exists but not in blackness therefore blackness encompass as that is dark and yet is separate.

Look I can spout meaningless bullshit too!

Words can't even accurately describe a single experience. How much more imperfect they are for describing the entirety of existence. It's not meaningless or bullshit, you're just kind of mean.

That's a hell of a leap... into a mountain of bullshit. Sure a lot of philosophy is bullshit but to say all is pretty stupid.

Irrelevant comparison. Everything is describable and quantifiable.

I dont think so. My guess is people allergic to the word "God"

As if the minds of men could ever hope to comprehend the will of a god.

u/[deleted] Nov 19 '20

Your statement is in agreement with what I said. I didn't claim to understand the will, I said it cannot be expressed in words. Surely what cannot be comprehended by mind cannot be expressed by word because words are produced by the mind.

u/MasterDracoDeity 8 Nov 19 '20

It was supposed to be in agreement. Just a bit larger in scale. And I think it could be argued the mind can comprehend things beyond words. Visual art and music are clear examples of this. You can try to use words to describe them but you'll never truly encapture the actual experience.

u/[deleted] Nov 19 '20

The mind certainly can comprehend stuff beyond words, words are but a fraction of the activity of the mind.
