You probably know this already, but I'll quote anyway;
From a fundamentalist website;
Quote:"And when he that has an issue is cleansed of his issue; then he shall number to himself even days for his cleansing, and wash his clothes, and bathe his flesh in running water, and shall be clean" (Leviticus 15:13). Until recent years, doctors washed their hands in a bowl of water, leaving invisible germs on their hands. However, the Bible says specifically to wash hands under "running water."
Of course, Leviticus is actually talking about 7 days of preparation before the ritual sacrifice of 2 birds to cure leprosy, but cherry picked quote mining is their favourite game after all.
They are not to be dissuaded that God told us in hidden language that we should wash our hands during medical procedures.
I shudder at the millions, maybe billions killed because God thought it'd be more fun to make us guess at what he means and figure it out from individual phrases. If God exists, he is seriously dysfunctional.

If you’re going to watch tele, you should watch Scooby Doo. That show was so cool because every time there’s a church with a ghoul, or a ghost in a school. They looked beneath the mask and what was inside?
