Comment on JeSUS

By my very fundamentalist upbringing, this was all supposedly a metaphor for God’s love of the nation of Israel. Which is exactly the sort of “reading between the lines” that they said you weren’t supposed to do.

It’s not that complicated. Solomon was horny, someone a long time ago decided his hornyness should be canon, and now biblical literalists have to deal with it and don’t know how.

no missing teeth (lol)

Harder than you think without modern dental care.

hans landa: that’s a bingo

also, not even necessarily horny, just far far less prudish, all the sensory stuff associated with sex was just far more normal

I’m 51 and haven’t had any dental care as an adult. I still have all of my teeth, and no pain etc. They could use a cleaning but a lot is genetics and diet. Not all of my genetics are great though, I’ve had autoimmune issues since I was a kid.

  You probably grew up brushing your teeth with modern toothpaste, and had fluoride in the water.
  
  This isn’t universally true, even today, in the United States. So says the diner in Indianapolis I went to where almost all the staff were missing teeth.
