Can’t Bring Yourself to Type the Word “Ass”?
Eager to share our brilliant political commentary and blunt media criticism, but too genteel to link to horsesass.org? Well, good news, ladies: we also answer to HASeattle.com, because, you know, whatever. You're welcome!
Well they be your ancestors Goldy… Nehemiah, after the Babylonian Captivity… This may be over the standard comprehension of God and Jesus hating HA DUMMOCRETIN libtards!
Chapter 13: 15-22
15 In those days saw I in Judah some treading wine presses on the sabbath, and bringing in sheaves, and loading donkeys; and also wine, grapes, and figs, and all manner of burdens, which they brought into Jerusalem on the sabbath day: and I testified against them about the day in which they sold provisions.
16 There dwelt men of Tyre also there, who brought fish, and all manner of wares, and sold on the sabbath unto the people of Judah, and in Jerusalem.
17 Then I contended with the nobles of Judah, and said unto them, What evil thing is this that you do, and profane the sabbath day?
18 Did not your fathers thus, and did not our God bring all this evil upon us, and upon this city? yet you bring more wrath upon Israel by profaning the sabbath.
19 And it came to pass, that when the gates of Jerusalem began to be dark before the sabbath, I commanded that the gates should be shut, and charged that they should not be opened till after the sabbath: and some of my servants set I at the gates, that there should no burden be brought in on the sabbath day.
20 So the merchants and sellers of all kinds of wares lodged outside of Jerusalem once or twice.
21 Then I testified against them, and said unto them, Why lodge you before the wall? if you do so again, I will lay hands on you. From that time forth came they no more on the sabbath.
22 And I commanded the Levites that they should cleanse themselves, and that they should come and keep the gates, to sanctify the sabbath day. Remember me, O my God, concerning this also, and spare me according to the greatness of your mercy.
I’m pretty sure a rabbi’s job is to work on the sabbath. Can anyone correct me?
I guess Daddy Warbucks won’t be getting a blowjob from Goldy today. Religious observance.
Surely the babbling religious trolls shall never be accused of work when they spew their nonsense here
This isn’t a problem for Christianist Capitalist, because they don’t work anyway. Only the working class has to work on the Sabbath. Why does God punish only hardworking wage earners, and not lazy Capitalists living off other people’s Sabbath-Day labor? Some God that is.
It would seem that people who argue they have to oppress gays because they strickly follow the bible and then ignore this passage are hypocrites.
@1 Where is the analysis of how that long copy and paste is relevant?
I know a Jewish couple who aren’t very religious about it but they did give their kids their Bar and Bat Mitzvahs, and attend the Synagogue on a fairly regular basis. They do observe the Sabbath, but only in the context of spending the day in bed, smoking weed, watching movies and fucking each others brains out. The husband is a Vietnam combat vet, and the wife is an adolescent psychologist who spent a couple of decades working in the prison system and the public schools. They’re great people, but don’t try to call them on the phone on Saturday. They’re busy.
What? Are you saying God’s enabling slackers? /s
@6 Relevent? Nothing is relevent for an ape.
@7 sinners
If worser @6 can’t figger this out then it sez volumes about worser @6 and its understanding of God’s scripture! Hint worser… the word is used a few times!
Sux to be worser!
I found a flea on my cat so I vacuumed all the carpets. So shoot me. Fleas don’t take Saturday or Sunday off, damn them.
Well Goldy hasn’t sinned here. Today is not his Sabbath that was yesterday. Fortunately the bible was written in a time when the world was not yet round and there was no international date line. In all this nonsense (even Jesus went so far as to try to point out that some Jews took this not working on Sunday to extremes) over doing physical labor which is mostly what the word work here is referring to is it the 24 hour day at the city of Jerusalem that counts or is it your local clock or is it when it’s your Sabbath on any part of the Earth. Slackers have got to go last one.
If God is so perfect why is there this wrinkle between the world being round and this commandment not to work on the Sabbath. For that matter why is the International Date Line in the middle of the Pacific and does that please God. Or does he/she give a fig?
Could it be that Moses was a member of a labor union in Egypt (or his Babylonian biographer) and wanted good working conditions for the workers? He thought should only work 30 hours a week, should have their feet rubbed at mid day and washed after work, only work 4 or 5 days a week, but knew this wouldn’t fly with the Capitalists so he got what he could get knowing that managers/slave owners like a day off too once in awhile to like go home and get laid, which is physical, but isn’t work unless you a slave being forced to do it with the boss.
@12 Just hope your fleas aren’t unionized or are part of the Flea’s Republic of Seattle the worlds largest workers paradise As long as your a flea. They will definitely petition if you flea dip your cat or use other chemical means of annihilating them to the United Nations and say your doing genocide using weapons of mass destruction. Those flea lawyers go for blood.
And I’m surprised that no women have pointed out that for some reason the labor they do or work they do. You know that domestic stuff like cooking, caring for children, vacuuming, ect doesn’t easily fall into the definition of work that this passag3e means. It’s kinda a male centric passage referring mostly to the physical work that men do, not women…all that stuff they do is kinda out of sight, out of mind. Good old double standard and please keep the baby quiet. Telling your pastor at church that you can’t take your baby outside to hush him or her up because it’s work on the Sabbath isn’t going to go over well with your pastor. Even if you have a big letter A on your dress he won’t think twice.
I look forward to Ted Cruz executing his fellow Senators the next time they work on the weekend.
