Women on period
January 29, 2025 at 3:53 pm
So, God doesn't allow contact with a woman while she is in her period of menstrual uncleanliness (Lev. 15: 19–24).
And suppose I want to obey that God's command. How can I tell if a woman is on her period? Especially since most women take offense when you ask them.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Did this need its own thread? Really?

I would suppose that if someone is following Leviticus that closely, they are in a marital relationship with a woman who is also following the laws closely. In the case of the Orthodox Jews, the woman has to go to the Mikveh to purify herself after the seven days.
I doubt anyone who is going by Leviticus is cruising the bars meeting random women to have sex with.

Not about red wings, OK, moving on.

When I go clubbin' and buy a woman a drink, I make it a point to ask her if she's menstruating, or in estrus.

It is a concern because God demands that people not even so much as touch something that a menstruating woman sat on. This means you can not drive on public transportation, for example, because you do not know if a menstruating woman has sat in the seat you want. Or if you want to go to the dentist and first you have to sit in a waiting room and then on the dentist chair which could all be foiled by an unclean woman.
This simply demonstrates the absurdity of God's commandments.
