Bible as Social Doctrine

That title sums up Leviticus. There are so many rules and instructions on what to do and how to live and how to punish those who break any of the rules, it's too much.

I don't think it's possible to actually live by the book. It must be a very limited life. I'm glad I live in modern times where I don't need to wash myself and not be touched during my monthly. Maybe that was a good thing, they put in those provisions to protect the woman during her bitchy week.

  1. A true example of how Religion is non-progressive. Science trumps it and Leviticus is the losing hand...That said I want the entertainment so I should really try to read that chapter sometime...At least get the cliff notes!
