No, I read it, I just didn't MEMORIZE it. I am sorry, it's not beef, it's goat. Deuteronomy 14:21, thou shalt not boil a goat in its mothers milk. But don't strain at a gnat while you swallow a whale, because unless you're a moron, you get my point:

The Bible is, according to religious people, God's rules and lessons on morality... and it doesn't take time to speak a word against rape? Or child molesting? That's micro-managing? Listing the foods you can eat and how you can cook them is fine but it's a bit too MUCH to say "Don't rape virgins, widows, slaves, small children, etc..."?

No matter how you slice it, I am right about this and you are only defending your ludicrous stance because you're afraid if you admit I am making an excellent point you'll be forced to concede that the Muslim God is very much the god of the Old Testament, and that Muslims have just as much right as you do to claim that their book is their God-Given Objective Guide to Morality.

You denigrate your own “point” now (whatever it is) with invective and argumentum ad hominem. It’s crystal clear that “boiling beef/goat in milk” is not the same as the specific act of boiling a baby goat in it’s own mother’s milk—in context, that was an act associated with idolatry of the time.

You do not become “right about” anything by asserting the absence fallacy. Never mind your being deliberately mendacious about the scriptures not saying “a word against rape” when it clearly does.

BTW, what does any of this have to do with George Will? Surely you are not presenting yourself as representative of Mr. Will’s personality.
