Putz! The golem can deform itself and slide under the door!

I can't imagine it.

Here! I go on the other side the door, you close it.

Okay doors closed.

Now, slide me a penny under the door and I'll slide it back, and you can see what's its like when then golem comes after you! Well? I'm waiting!

Stupid goy, those parts of the Talmud aren't meant to be taken literally. It's just old stories, unlike the parts where God promises us a land free of inferior slave races for all eternity, and gives us authority to commit any atrocity necessary to secure this land, plus whichever ones we just kinda feel like.

Aholiba was pretty freaky, and not particularly discerning, so yeah I think you'd be fine. Then she'd probably snub you, as is her deal. She's pretty much a "hit it and quit it" sort of woman.

Then the lord will command you to cut off her ears and nose, kill her children, and burn her possessions to the ground, and all the other men she boned will help. But remember, God loves you.

These holy texts are said to be the literal word of god, so if we interpret that passage to suggest penis size insecurity on behalf of the author we must concede that God himself is insecure in regards to his junk. Whether it is small in comparison to donkey dick or simply small for a celestial being is unclear, however given Mary failed to notice it happening I assume the former.

Has anyone ever actually read the story of sampson? It gets summerized as 'guy with magic hair" but people need to actually read it.

Like he sees a dead lion and it's full of bees, then he goes to a riddle contest and is like 'if you can guess my riddle I'll give you some free clothes" and his riddle is some nonsense about the lion with bees in it, so someone sleeps with his prostitute girlfriend and she tells the answer. So he ties a bunch of foxes together and lights them on fire and kills everyone then goes to the riddle winner guy and is like "welp, here is your prize" and it's all his family's dead clothes. Then the hair stuff people remember happens.

Same with the story of moses in the desert with quail. Where everyone is like "wish we had meat" so god dumps like 40 feet of dead quail on everyone and everyone eats them till the meat comes out their noses.

And like you think the moral is some bland "careful what you wish for because it might come true!" but then it ends with god having poisoned the quail so everyone dies. And no one ever mentions that this story is in the bible ever.

shut the gently caress up it's time for my favourite talmud story: "The Time God Told A Bunch Of Rabbis The Answer to An Extremely Pedantic Question And The Rabbis Told God to gently caress Off".

quote:

This is the “oven of Achnai.” What is Achnai? Said Rabbi Yehudah in the name of Shmuel: That they surrounded it with words [of debate] like an Achnai snake, and declared it impure. It was taught: On that day R. Eliezer answered all the answers on earth and they did not accept it from him. He said, “If the law is like me, the carob tree will prove it”; the carob tree was uprooted from its place one hundred Amah, some say four hundred Amah. They said: “We do not bring proof from a carob tree.”... He went and said “If the law is like me the water channel will prove it”; the water channel flowed in reverse direction. They said: “We do not bring proof from a water channel.” He went and said “If the law is as I say the walls of the House of Study will prove it”; the walls of the House of Study inclined to fall. R. Yehoshua protested at them, saying to them “If scholars defeat each other in the law, how does it better you?” They did not fall because of the honor of R.Yehoshua and they did not straighten, because of the honor of R. Eliezer, and they still incline and stand.... [R. Eliezer] went and said, “If the law is like me, from Heaven they will prove it”; a heavenly voice came out and said, “What have you with R. Eliezer, who the law is like him in every place?” R. Yehoshua stood on his feet and said “[The Torah] is not in heaven,” (Deuteronomy 30:12). What does "[The Torah] is not in heaven" mean? R. Yirmiyah said: “That the Torah was already given at Sinai, we do not pay attention to a heavenly voice, since You already wrote at Sinai in the Torah, “After the majority to incline,” (Exodus 23:2). R. Natan met the prophet Elijah and said to him, “What did the Holy One Blessed be He do in that hour?” He said to him: “He smiled and said, “My sons have defeated Me, My sons have defeated Me.”
