Patrick@clintruin @VeroniqueB99 That doesn't go far enough.
"...was hoodwinked by a talking reptile possessed by an malicious angel to secretly eat forbidden fruit from a magical tree, and the same God was so upset that he didn't want them eating from a different tree, the Tree of Life, which would give them the immortality they are given now."
Is more Biblically accurate.

FusePoor, stupid, bastard is going to be shocked, *shocked, I tell you,* when they learn that Jesus was a Jew.
SecondUniverse (she/her/they)@TimePencil @VeroniqueB99 I thought he was a Palestinian?

a fish named dog โก๏ธโพ๏ธ@VeroniqueB99 Warning: long rant about hypocrisy, christianity homophobia and orthodox jews incoming with probably too little explanation. consider yourself warned. 1/depends how much I get distracted
@VeroniqueB99 OK. SO! they're generally quoting leviticus/vayikra 18:22: ืืืชึพืืืจ ืื ืชืฉืื ืืฉืืื ืืฉื ืชืืขืื ืืื
This is generally translated as something like "you shall not lie with a man as you do with a woman; it's an abomination". the exact wording varies, but that's the gist. now, this doesn't seem to prohibit a lot. to be fair, we DID get a lot of this (https://oukosher.org/the-kosher-primer/) from "if you boil a young goat, don't do it in its mom's milk". 1/?
edit: goat doesn't have lesbian parents probably

@VeroniqueB99 Now blah blah blah lots of interpretation not a scholar blah blah blah aside.
In Mishnah Keritot it is said that male-male sex gets you karet [it's complicated but tl;dr the worst punishment in judaism]. bad, right?
here are some other things that get you karet: not observing shabbat (basically no christians observe the laws: https://www.ou.org/holidays/the_thirty_nine_categories_of_sabbath_work_prohibited_by_law/), someone who eats leavened bread on pesach, someone who eats on yom kippur. (https://www.sefaria.org/Mishnah%20Keritot%201:1).

@VeroniqueB99 I've seen people say basically "no one does this anymore". except THEY DO. Orthodox jews still exist, and spoiler alert homophobia isn't okay from them either!
BUUUUT there is basically no christian who can say that they would not ALSO receive karet for other reasons.
Furthermore, many of these are even more explicit. E.g., that Pesach law is explicitly stated to be 'for all time'-- twice! (https://www.sefaria.org/Exodus.12.17 & https://www.sefaria.org/Exodus.12.14)
[further rant withheld]
