There is nothing in the bible against abortion. There are instructions for forcing a woman to have an abortion when her husband suspects she has been cheating. (Numbers 5: 11-31) and many places throughout the bible command the killing of "their little ones" by dashing them against the rocks and ripping open the bellies of pregnant women in enemy towns. Kidnapping the young girls who are virgins to be used as sex slaves. The bible has some sick twisted snuff porn in it, but it doesn't take issue with abortion.

Correct, but modern Christians take issue with it because they've been conditioned to hate it. The true sheep of society is the religious right wing. The book is definitely sick.

Compare the Ten Commandments with the 7 tenets of the satanic temple. I'm going with Satan every time.

Prior to the Civil Rights Act, the rallying cry of racist White Christians was interracial marriage. After the Civil Rights Act, churches that openly espoused racism, lost their tax exemption. So they changed the lyrics to their racist war cry and started talking about protecting the unborn. They don't give a shit about children. Look what they say about school lunches, welfare, and medical care. They would happily watch every child in the country starve before they would make a rich man pay taxes.

been a long time since I read the book, but didn't the original tenets include a bunch of edgy language like destroying anyone who encroached on your freedom? This reads like it has been sterilized.

Wow those are written pretty solidly

Or the Pastafarian's "I’d Really Rather"

I used to dabble in the noodly appendages but I was put-off how serious people seemed to be taking the whole thing.
That's how things always start: the initial group makes a joke, the second group pretends to follow it, and then later down the line people actually buy-in. It's essentially the 4Chan playbook.

That's something I've always though. That "thunder is a god fighting the frost giants" started as a joke. Like many other religions.

[–] Mac@mander.xyz 1 points 12 hours ago

Yeah, probably, tbh.

Hail Satan. Jesus was pretty cool, too when he talked about economics and immigrants.

[–] A_norny_mousse@feddit.org 3 points 1 day ago

Does the NT ever mention it?

"Bitter water" sure sounds like an abortion pill to me.

I assume there were certain herbal medicines the temple priests knew. There are probably rabbis who still know them today. I have read that the seeds of wild carrots (Daucus carota) can be used for birth control. I don't know any plants that cause miscarriage but I met a Shoshone medicine man when I was about 12 years old. He said their herbal medicines include knowledge of plants that can ease childbirth but also induce an abortion, but they don't share that knowledge with White people, for fear of it being abused or banned.
