I’m pretty certain that about 80% of people who consider themselves “Christians” couldn’t even list all of the ten commandments if you asked them.
Which is weird because “thou shall not kill” comes before adultery in the commandments, and go forth and procreate is also somewhere in that book.

Agreed they dont even follow the rules - unless by rules you mean their rules.

I didn’t say it made sense.

Almost makes you think that the bible might have been written by humans and is just as flawed in its text as humanity itself.

While that’s very much true, that’s not really what I take away from it. The bible could be 100% true and this wouldn’t really change anything in this particular case.
What it instead tells me is that people will pick out whichever parts of the bible suit their biases and follow them, all so they can feel good about themselves despite ignoring the half of it they don’t like. I also don’t see many Christians avoiding mixed fabrics despite their god supposedly saying that’s a no-no two different times.
