Noah's going to have a problem when it comes to the lions...

Also, this is a little too specific to be a 'general' rule, I get the feeling someone is inappropriately living out a bad experience here...

"If two men are fighting and the wife of one of them comes to rescue her husband from his assailant and she reaches out and seizes him by his private parts, you shall cut off her hand. Show her no pity. — Deuteronomy 25:11-12"
"The greatest deception men suffer is from their own opinions" - Leonardo da Vinci

"I think I use the term “radical” rather loosely, just for emphasis. If you describe yourself as “atheist,” some people will say, “Don’t you mean ‘agnostic’?” I have to reply that I really do mean atheist, I really do not believe that there is a god; in fact, I am convinced that there is not a god (a subtle difference). I see not a shred of evidence to suggest that there is one ... etc., etc. It’s easier to say that I am a radical atheist, just to signal that I really mean it, have thought about it a great deal, and that it’s an opinion I hold seriously." - Douglas Adams (and I echo the sentiment)

Nonsense. It is clearly a regular enough occurrance to justify it's own rule. Surprised you've not come across it.
"Peace is a lie, there is only passion.
Through passion, I gain strength.
Through strength, I gain power.
Through power, I gain victory.
Through victory, my chains are broken."

I was just wondering myself what the origin of this one must have been. I imagine some old Jew getting into a fight with another guy, and when that dude's wife came up and clamped onto the old Jew's dick to stop the fight he was like, "Okay, God just revealed a new law to me!"
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell

Yeah.. biblical stories are not exactly ponies and unicorns farting rainbows and holding hands jumping over the sun material.
Atheism is a non-prophet organization join today.

I think you have that reversed. What happened was she grabbed the other guys' cock and told her husband, "wow, he has a bigger schlong than you!"

Guys hate that. Hence the law was written.

article Wrote:Jesus didn't say anything about same-sex relations: "Get behind me, Satan!" — Matthew 16:23

Priceless! It reminds me of the SMBC comic where someone says the Bible claims gay sex is preferable (love your neighbor as yourself).
