    It’s almost like someone ungodly wrote the rules to fit their needs. But people wouldn’t use religion to justify their behaviors, would they? Certainly not, right?

    Nah, see, this is one of the few parts that make perfect sense. Classic A/B testing.

    Proof that God is an evil bastard.

    Gives the man who needs no wine, lots of it.

    Gives the man with 4 wives no wine.

    He must be laughing his ass off.

    The celibacy thing for Catholics is a rule the Church eventually adopted, in Corinthians it even says that apostles can and do have wives.

      The real trick is to control women and to invent the rules such that everybody will inevitably break them.

        If you don’t think there isn’t at least as much effort done to control men (the ones they get money and free labor from), you’re blind as a sexist bat

          If you control women, then you also control men.

    Well the one who does not belong to MY religion is obviously wrong and lying about which arbitrary restrictions must be observed on pain of being killed as a heretic.

    It makes no sense. If you have more wives, you need more alcohol, not less.
