This is the thing that gets me. Literally the first book of the old testament immediately contradicts itself yet they claim to take it literally. The reality is that very few read the Bible at all other than the passages cherry picked by the preacher to read during the sermon.

Original Hebrew? Anything in Hebrew that is supposedly from the “original” is a translation.

Which is circular because god is omnipotent, therefore anything satan does, god has allowed.

I was being fed biblical literalism over 30 years ago in the few years I was forced to go to church age 10-14. Pretty large congregation for a town of 20k with plenty of other churches.

One of the few things they got right was that small children shouldn’t be baptized, that a person should decide for themselves after age 13. I decided. I decided hell no.
