It's also in the bible
Tell you're closest evangelical freak
Any time someone justifies something as being "in the bible" they should get 30 seconds to back that up by citing and reading the passage that backs it up, with context. If they fail to do this, death.

One cool thing about the turn-of-the-millennium Icelandic legal system was that once a year, at the Althing, the lawspeakers would recite the entirety of the law. Anything they left out wasn't a law anymore.
That is unfathomably based
did they at least have a cover charge for the Althing? can't have the law be both legible and freely accessible.
In 1864 Lincoln won reelection. Owning slaves was legal. Woman were property. George Washington Carver was born. Climate change was discovered. WTF are we doing? These mother fuckers thought diseases came from evil spirits. Shit, Republicans still believe that one.
What matters isn't the intellectual or moral credibility of the law, just that it's on the books and can be used to pursue modern goals. Explaining these things in terms of credibility or intelligence is missing the point, which is christofascism.
I hate this country so fucking much
