In the bible you get permission to declare your teenager wayward, take them outside the city gates and stone them to death.

I was like, "Really...?" But sure enough:

Deuteronomy 21:18-21

If a man have a stubborn and rebellious son, which will not obey the voice of his father, or the voice of his mother, and that, when they have chastened him, will not hearken unto them. Then shall his father and his mother lay hold on him, and bring him out unto the elders of his city, and unto the gate of his place. And they shall say unto the elders of his city, This our son is stubborn and rebellious, he will not obey our voice; he is a glutton, and a drunkard. And all the men of his city shall stone him with stones, that he die: so shalt thou put evil away from among you; and all Israel shall hear, and fear.

... k.

Goddamn I’m just now realizing how obsessed the OT is with obeying mom and dad with no questions asked. Like there is so much shit in there about ‘do whatever I say, honor me, love me, obey me, worship me, or I will fucking kill you with rocks and the entire town will join in’.

Yep! It's bonkers stuff. And it almost certainly represents a widespread cultural practice, since they felt the need to regulate how and when you could do it.

It really highlights for me not just how irrelevant and detrimental the bible is to our world, but how disruptive teenage hormones can be to a society. Thousands of years later and exclusion, abuse and killing are still the tools that the troubled teen industry uses.

Yeah it’s made up bullshit used to control people.

Here’s another:

Leviticus 19:19

You shall keep my statutes. You shall not let your cattle breed with a different kind. You shall not sow your field with two kinds of seed, nor shall you wear a garment of cloth made of two kinds of material.

Cotten blends are a sin 😂

Humanity is so fucking gullible.
