I'm fine with most of these. I think live by them anyway, except for the swearing.
I do have a slight issue with the "You shall not commit adultry"
I truly believe that the worst thing you could do to someone you're seeing, is cheat on them. It is the ultimate dishonest and emotionally selfish thing to do.
BUT.. the way it is stated in the book, men are allowed to cheat on unmarried women, but women can't do the same. Again, it's sexist.
yeah BUT... If a man is allowed to cheat on an unmarried woman, isn't that an unholy thing to do, she is supposed to save herself, remain virginal until marriage. That must be somewhere else in the book.
There are many contradictions in this book, another one to keep in mind.

Huh? Where does it say men are allowed to cheat on unmarried woman?
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure I even know what that statement really means?
Where are the contradictions?
It doesn't say it in the text, but my study book says that "sexual relations between a married man and unmarried woman isn't technically adultery" So it was typical for a married man to sleep with unmarried women.
ReplyDeleteContradiction- I thought women were supposed to wait until marriage to have sex, yet married men can sleep with them. I haven't gotten to that yet.. maybe it will reveal itself.
