To be fair, banning shrimp was a very good idea at the time. Do you think it's a good plan to be eating the shrimp when you are a desert people and the invention of portable refrigeration is still a few thousand years away?
Very logical. Wonder why he hasn't stopped by to reverse the ban since the invention of refrigeration, or at least clarify the rule as just meaning to keep people safe?
"Hey guys, thanks for all the likes and subscribes over the years. Good to see you! Just wanted to give a shout-out to my man Leviticus. We knew, back in the day, that y'all weren't ready for the whole "microbe" thing, so we wanted to just kinda steer folks away from stuff that could hurt them. But man, you guys have been busy since then! You figured all this shit out! I'm proud of you, I really am. Or at least I would be if I was allowed, am I right?"
crowd laughs
"So yeah, now that it's mostly safe to eat that stuff, go right ahead. Watch out for buffets though... if they can afford to feed your uncle Charlie for five shekels they have to be cutting corners somewhere. Anyways, I gotta go so I will talk to you later. Be safe! Love, peace, and all that jazz!"
crowd cheers
"Oh, one more thing. If you could stop killing one another in my name that'd be great. It's super un-cool. But hey, free will and all. I won't stop you. Until next time!"
fanfare over credit roll
Hahaha. Well done 😝
I'll always go to bat for the idea that religion was a necessary evil. In the past, prior to telecommunications and concepts like a social democracy, you needed some way to keep the members of your primitive tribe alive and loyal to each other.
The problem is that now we no longer need it, and it's been consistently twisted into a weapon by those who crave power over anything else.
