  • I could see that as an interpretation for sure. I’m not well versed enough in Hebrew to understand the original text and it’s context. But I think one could argue that “seize” here could be seen as persuing her romantically.

    Now please don’t take this as me defending any of this. I’m just trying to show how many different ways this may be interpreted which leads to how people take the Bible out of context or to extremes.



  • Hmmm. Reading the scripture it seems to me to not even be about rape. But more like sex out of wedlock.

    28 g“If a man meets a virgin who is not betrothed, and seizes her and lies with her, and they are found, 29 then the man who lay with her shall give to the father of the young woman fifty shekels of silver, and she shall be his wife, because he has violated her. He may not divorce her all his days. >














  • I don’t drink nearly as much as I used to. Not that I ever did a lot anyway. But after having my child I noticed drinking made me way more impatient instead of relaxing me. Now I really only drink when my wife and I go on a date. I do partake in a good THC gummy fairly frequently now though. They are quick and easy to make you feel good and I don’t get that impatience from it. But I normally take it after my child goes to bed anyway. Helps me sleep and doesn’t make me feel bad the next day.
