every time someone whips out a proverb, I just reply with this one.

It's funny seeing them looking it up

[-] waddle_dee@lemmy.world 28 points 1 month ago

Especially good when you explain that Oholibah is Jerusalem and it's a metaphor for how the Israelites whored themselves out against G-d and continually disregard the Lord's commands. Ezekial is saying, in the most baller ass way, "Israel, y'all a bunch of ho bags, and the Lord has/will let y'all get decimated by the Babylonians and Chaldeans. So, stop being bad" It's a really interesting prophetical book to read.

In this metaphor, what does the donkey dick and horse cum represent?

[-] Goodeye8@piefed.social 15 points 1 month ago

For whatever reason I took "emissions like a horse" as someone who farts like a horse. I have to say horse cum makes way more sense.

[-] timeghost@lemmy.world 16 points 1 month ago

There's a whole chapter about cum in the bible. Rules about what to do when you cum on your neighbor's goat, what to do if you someone cums on you. Basically the whole thing is part of the tabernacle racket. Pretty much any time someone cums they have to bring birds to the tabernacle to cut in half and set fire to. Probably written by a bird seller if we're being honest with ourselves here.

Those prophetical books tend to have been rewritten to make them prophetical in retrospect, so it does have that element.

I believe it was King Josiah, ~600BCE, who compiled the books and had them lightly edited into a History of the Kingdom kinda deal. The whole theme of the Kingdom of Judea being the Rightful Leader Of The Tribes really gives it away. There's a lot of convenient propaganda.

yeah but it’s parable. so like… ?

[-] WesternInfidels@feddit.online 42 points 1 month ago

Even in pre-history, men were somehow convinced that what women really wanted was: bigger dicks. Bigger dicks than human men could possibly offer.

It's such a weird preoccupation, and it seems like it's got to be deeper than just a cultural thing.

I wouldn't call 600BC prehistoric.

Well obviously there’s a biological and psychological component, which would transcend cultures. Probably goes back to times in our evolution before we were even considered human.

Ah, I guess the donkey dragon romance makes sense

Horse emissions that different than donkeys? Couldn't just pick a single animal here for reference?

[-] acockworkorange@mander.xyz 50 points 1 month ago

Not if you're a true connoisseur of equine reproduction apparatus like our boy Zeke here.

And also, what women thinks, "the best part of sex for me is the mess at the end! The more I have to clean up after, the better, especially in this time of no running water!"

BRB, need to make a t-shirt.

No quote, just:

Front: a small red and blue GOP donkey with dick out on the top left

Back: Ezekiel 23:20
