The Talmud is just explaining bits of the Torah, and then Rabbis arguing about what those mean in the margins over hundreds of years. It's got great bits about how Adam was originally non-binary, how the plague of frogs was really a singular giant frog, and about how lesbian scissoring works.

Oyak posted:

Interesting...can you expand on those two?

I always liked how the Hebrew Bible makes one of its first references to God as "Elohim," which is plural, giving rise to the idea that Judaism was polytheistic in its primordial form, and maybe some early references to multiple gods slipped through the subsequent revision process.

It's worth clarifying that it wasn't moneylenders in the Temple, it was money changers. And it wasn't really about the money changing. Jews of the time were required to make animal sacrifices at certain times of year, and the animals had to be of a certain quality and value. The priests at the Temple declared that the only acceptable sacrifices were animals purchased from the Temple, as they were known to meet the requirement of quality and other animals weren't.

So far no problem, but there was also the issue of money. The priests couldn't cheat people on value - selling a bird worth 5 shekels for 10 shekels was a big no-no - but what they did instead was say that they wouldn't accept regular money. Animals purchased from the Temple had to be bought with Temple scrip, which could only be obtained from and spent in the Temple, and that scrip was not given at one for one. So you'd have to pay the priest 10 shekels to receive 5 Temple shekels that you could then give back to buy your sacrifice. They were at base charging other Jews a fee to be Jewish and lining their own pockets with it, and that's why Jesus went apeshit on them.

Incidentally, if this sounds to you like a bunch of 1st century CE rabbis invented cryptocurrency, you're not altogether wrong. Nothing really changes.

Ft. Lauderdale could have been such an amazing city if it had been planned around the intercoastal waterways. It's official nickname is literally "The Venice of America".

But instead the only thing that got built on the intercoastal was big mansions for rich people, and everything else got shoved into downtown which has zero public transportation. Now after 10 years of only building mixed use luxury condos it's an overcrowded nightmare with a failing sewer system.

And yeah yeah sea level rise is gonna wreck everything anyway but in a hypothetical non-captialist hellworld Ft. Lauderdale could have been a beautiful and sustainable community based around boat access.

"God made this rule but I found a loophole because I'm smarter than god" is basically

1. What every religious person in history has done

2. Demonstrates exactly how dumb religion is

3. If god was real he'd be pretty loving mad at the insane blasphemy of you thinking you can outsmart him. Like doing buttsex to keep your virginity because you think you're smarter than God is WAY WORSE of a sin than the pre-marital sex would have been.
