Deuteronomy 23:12-14

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.

Only thing that’s relevant, and it only a sin if you don’t cover it after.

Then technically they’re supposed to shit in a hole in the ground if you take a literal interpretation, which Christians love to do. Which means that technically you aren’t supposed to go to the modern day bathroom

Huh, doesn’t that mean that toilets which flush are valid then? It may not be covering it, but it’s the same logical conclusion.

Half of the old testament just feels like health codes. This is make sure to not poop where you live. Other stuff is don’t eat foods that will make you sick.

Yep. There’s also a lot of rules about farming. If you accidentally drop some of the harvest while you’re farming, you have to leave it there so that the poor can take it (there’s also a command to care for the poor directly). Also, you have to skip farming altogether once every seven years to let the land rest, which seems like a basic form of crop rotation.

Why didn’t they just post their guides on youtube then? Why do they had to package it with a bunch of make believe nonsense?

Yeah like cheeseburgers.

Cheese? Perfectly fine

Burgers? Perfectly fine

Cheese plus burger? Straight to hell.

Thou shalt not boil a calf in its mother’s milk.

And if you put bacon on top of it, cook it yourself on a Friday night while wearing cotton underwear and polyester shorts, you can easily commit four sins before dinner

boil a calf in its mother’s milk

sounds delicious but also surprisingly, not obviously corresponding with a known dish

what would this be called tbh

like cheesy fried veal or something?

oh maybe cheesesteaks? 🤔

Chicken jalapeño poppers?

…for extra kick with your sin.

The old testament has civil laws too not just moral laws. The civil laws are for the good government of the historical national of Israel, not transcendent moral laws

It goes even deeper if you get into Judaism and why they have two entirely separate kitchens. Ancient people dying of trichinosis in the desert heat but not understanding how disease functions do weird things to try to figure out how to safely survive, like banning certain foods entirely such as shellfish.

Diarrhea is still one of the top killers of children worldwide, which is one of the main side effects of food-borne illnesses like trichinosis.

God:

Supreme ruler of all things

Creator of the divine

Knower of everything

Grossed out by poop

Also, made poop dangerously unsanitary.

makes poop

Ew gross

To be fair, I’ve created some pretty horrifying things in the course of modding video games.

Does flushing it down the toilet qualify? It seems to me that it qualifies. When flushed, excrement is moved to a location (a sewage line or septic tank) that is outside the “camp” (your home), already dug, and already covered, thereby preventing the “camp” from becoming “indecent” (unsanitary). That’s the whole reason why sewage systems were invented: it’s more convenient and can handle far more excrement than simply burying it in a hole in the backyard.

God doesn’t like shit on the floor. Go figure.

Holy shit!

Actually it seems shit is very much antiholy

God is gonna roll up to your camp, see that your shit stinks and be like “nah” and bounce.
