  I love the argument that it’s about the love between god and his followers. Like, nothing against horny deities even ones who fuck their followers, but this interpretation sure does make it sound like the god who demands chastity really wants to fuck you.

    It’s really contrived, too. This argument comes from people who will tell you that you have to use the whole Bible and not read between the lines. Then they have to struggle to find a reason for Song of Solomon to be there when it’s been considered canon for thousands of years.

      Help me out here, I’m having trouble picturing this. Like… a pair of complete, full-size gazelles? Just fastened to the woman’s torso? If not, which parts?

    That was Lot fleeing Sodom or Gomorrah or some shit. I mean, if I thought the world was ending and the only person around was my dad, and I was female, goodbye human race okay.
