During wheat harvest, Reuben went out into the fields and found some mandrake plants, which he brought to his mother Leah. Rachel said to Leah, "Please give me some of your son's mandrakes."
-Gen 30:14

Umm... what the hell do I do? What's a mandrake?!

Random Verse Generator, who's next?

ETA: I googled

The alkaloids make the plant, in particular the root and leaves, poisonous, via anticholinergic, hallucinogenic, and hypnotic effects.

Yeah, I'm goin' to jail.

Acts 16:3

Paul wanted to take him along on the journey, so he circumcised him because of the Jews who lived in that area, for they all knew that his father was a Greek.

I got Acts 13:10

"You are a child of the devil and an enemy of everything that is right! You are full of all kinds of deceit and trickery. Will you never stop perverting the right ways of the Lord?"

Wtf am I supposed to do with that information

Sounds like a free pass to me. God hates you already so just fucking have at.

First one that's am actual command:

Psalms 136:3 Passage: Give thanks to the Lord of lords: His love endures forever.

His love endures forever while your pathetic body crumbles

The Bible is not just a long list of rules. Any random page probably has less than a 5% chance of containing any particular thing to "follow". The chance of landing on a page with an illegal commandment is next to none.

Yeah, quite a bit of the Bible would get you landed in jail so let's not act like the idea of Bible charades roulette isn't funny as fuck. If nothing else it's a fresh new way to highlight the hypocrisy of scripture in modern society.

What does this mean though? How does just reading some random story get you put in jail? It’s like you read their comment and them completely ignored everything it said.

you're arguing in bad faith about a bad faith
