Wife beating? Maybe that was another exception, and the gospels authors forgot to mention it. They might have forgotten a lot. Maybe Jesus believed in at least basics of Kashrut, and they also forgot to write that down.

Some of y’all may enjoy this. I accidentally took a 7, 8 hour ‘nap’ lasting until 10pm. Bored, I smoked some weed and wrote a thing, and just came in here to share.

Hope you enjoy!
