Thread: God's obsession with feces, piss, and semen

Deuteronomy 23:9-14

9 When you are encamped against your enemies, keep away from everything impure. 10 If one of your men is unclean because of a nocturnal emission, he is to go outside the camp and stay there. 11 But as evening approaches he is to wash himself, and at sunset he may return to the camp. 12 Designate a place outside the camp where you can go to relieve yourself. 13 As part of your equipment have something to dig with, and when you relieve yourself, dig a hole and cover up your excrement. 14 For the LORD your God moves about in your camp to protect you and to deliver your enemies to you. Your camp must be holy, so that he will not see among you anything indecent and turn away from you.



Ezekiel 4:15 - "Very well," he said, "I will let you bake your bread over cow manure instead of human excrement."



Isaiah 36:12 - But Rabshakeh said, Hath my master sent me to thy master and to thee to speak these words? hath he not sent me to the men that sit upon the wall, that they may eat their own dung, and drink their own piss with you?

So, God is so disgusted by shit that he will abandon his boys' campground during battle because of it? Then, why did he create it instead of something less disgusting?

I have to say here officially that this forum has educated me on the Bible so far beyond what I would have learned just from communication with Christian communities. Every other week I learn about something amazing that the Bible says. To those who say this forum is worthless: NO IT IS NOT. This place is highly educational.

That is good, but most of what you hear about the Bible here is the weird stuff. There's very little history, little on the meaning or interpretation of it.

I'm not sure three verses counts as an obsession. Two of those are threats, and the first is just very reasonable advice in a time when many people in wars died of desease.

How many translations of the bible can you count?

I don't have enough fingers. ):

Actually, I can count up to 1023 on 10 fingers if I wanted to. All you have to do is learn binary

True, but you could throw a dart at a random bible page and come up with something weird most of the time.

That's not how the verses go.
