MAGA: Giving foreigners the same benefits as native-born citizens is immoral. This is why we need a government based on the Bible.
LEVITICUS 19:34 : "The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born. Love them as yourself, for you were once foreigners in the land of Egypt. I am the Lord your God"

MAGA: Cancelling student debt is immoral. This is why we need a government based on the Bible.
DEUTERONOMY 15:1: At the end of every seven years you must cancel all debts. This is how it is to be done: Every creditor shall cancel the loan he has made to his fellow Israelite. He shall not require payment from his fellow Israelite or brother, because the LORD's time for canceling debts has been proclaimed.

MAGA: Transgender is a mental illness and mutilating their bodies is immoral. This is why we need a government based on the Bible.
MATTHEW 19:12 : "There are eunuchs who have been so from birth, and there are eunuchs who have been made eunuchs by men, and there are eunuchs who have made themselves eunuchs for the glory of the Kingdom of Heaven."

MAGA: Abortion is always immoral under any circumstance. This is why we need a government based on the Bible.
NUMBERS 5:16 :The priest shall bring her and have her stand before the Lord. Then he shall take some holy water in a clay jar and put some dust from the tabernacle floor into the water. Here the priest is to cause the woman to drink the bitter water and say ββMay this bitter water enter your body so that either your abdomen swells or your womb miscarries.β

@Lana MAGA : We need to establish traditional Bible gender roles!
GALATIANS 3:28 : There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.
@Soozcat @Lana I agree β they seem rather embarrassed by the Old Testament, even though if they believe in the Trinity all the horrible genocide, slavery, and sexual assault done by Yahweh is also done by Jesus.
(That said, Galatians is in the New Testament.)
Thereβs a YouTube channel, Joel Reads Bible, where an atheist is reading the whole Bible verse by verse starting with Genesis. Itβs pretty eye-opening how heinous much of it is:
Iβm reading Bible so you donβt have to! π Are you tired of Christians and atheists cherry picking Bible to make it say whatever they want it to say? Are you tired of hearing "that's out of context"? Well, this is the channel for you! I'm reading Bible, every word, from the first page to the last page, in context! Is God going to reveal him/them/itself to me through the book or is it going to read like an incoherent myth? Only time will tell (11+ years if my calculations are correct)! Subscribe!
@poleguy @Soozcat @michaelgemar @Lana Most I heard was that some parts of the Bible are inappropriate for children. But not before getting a few books in.
Consequently, Leviticus had a rather interesting set of rules involving animal sacrifices, which didn't even get covered in a Catholic school. And then rules for (indentured) servants. It also felt like I wouldn't get any explanation in the school.
@arem @poleguy @Soozcat @Lana Leviticus has rules for *Israelite* indentured servants, but it also has very explicit rules for permanent chattel slavery of foreigners.
βAs for the male and female slaves whom you may have, it is from the nations around you that you may acquire male and female slaves. You may also acquire them from among the aliens residing with you and from their families who are with you who have been born in your land; they may be your property. You may keep them as a possession for your children after you, for them to inherit as property. These you may treat as slaves, but as for your fellow Israelites, no one shall rule over the other with harshness.β Leviticus 25:44-46
