In which bible? 🙃
The TGLS Bible. I quote:
TGLS Bible wrote:Don't lie with your mother. She's your mother. Don't lie with your daughter. She's your daughter. Don't lie with your father's wife. She's your mother. [skipping over several other examples] Wait, was that written gender neutral? Fuck! I'm not rewriting that. Don't lie with a man as with a woman. It's not OK if it's your father or your son guys.

Numbers 5:11-31

"If she has made herself impure and been unfaithful to her husband, this will be the result: When she is made to drink the water that brings a curse and causes bitter suffering, it will enter her, her abdomen will swell and her womb will miscarry, and she will become a curse."

Look it up. Lots of biblical discussion about it.
I got nothing to say here.

To be fair, a lot of the bibles forced-birth churches use deliberately mistranslate that into incomprehensible nonsense about her thigh falling off.

One thing that Trump helpfully exposed was virtually the entire Evangelical movement doesn't actually give a shit about anything they claim to care about. Their movement behind him lockstep shows it was always about power and position in society.

Well that's the problem. It's all in black and white. Only the verses they agree with they will take literal, the rest they will spend alot of time reinterpreting into something they can agree with or they just plain ignore it. You bring it up then 'you are saying it out of context' or 'that's not what it means'.

Its just a different form of cherry picking. Years ago, I was one of those who was a bit more militant about my atheism than I am now. I argued with these types of people though my main focus was Creationists and you wouldn't not believe the mental gymnastics they have to do to make Noah's Flood work in their head.

Whether it was Flood itself, the Ark, the animals, the time period or the fact that the human race yet again had to be repopulated through a single family orgy incest. But yeah that is the literal truth but when a paragraph from the Bible promoting abortion? Not literal truth.

I mean the joke is that Jesus hated religious fundamentalists, hypocrites, and fascists (Romans)

Jesus didn't like militant conqueroring empires that had deeply traditionalist values. Say what you will positively about the Romans but they really fuck over the Jews in a few years from Jesus' time.
