    Leviticus: raping your male slaves is incestuous, and males have more rights than females. Raping your female slaves is okay, though, if you follow some extra rules.

    Paul’s letters: Temple prostitution, pederasty.

    Let’s put it another way. If we’re translating Marx and replace every instance of the word “bourgeoisie” with “jews” and “proletariat” with “aryans” is it still Marx? No, it’s corrupt nazi trash. The “original” texts are still there in black and white in their original languages.

    Another fun fact: hell isn’t a scriptural concept. Neither the word nor concept appears anywhere. Also, for being anti-abortion, scripture is explicitly pro-abortion. We could point out the ways that modern Christian teaching directly conflicts their own holy texts all day. My point is that the things they preach are frequently contradicted by their own texts. When someone pulls out something in english and says “look right here, it says ‘homosexual’” I can pull up the original language and point out that no, it doesn’t say that.
