    I went down a whole rabbit hole of learning about different sects of Islam the other day. It’s interesting that basically all the fluids from the body are impure, but semen isn’t.

      That makes perfect sense. After all, every sperm is sacred.

      I guess otherwise it amounts to saying that human beings are created out of impure liquid

    What’s interesting is how this contradicts Deuteronomy. In that, if a man has “a semenal emission”, he is unclean, and must depart the camp until nightfall, at which point he must wash himself, his clothes, and his bedding with water, at which point he can re-enter. Deuteronomy basically says you have to leave any time you contact any kind of bodily fluid., with the only exception being the blood of a “clean” (kosher) animal that you know how it died. Roadkill: gotta stay outside until nightfall, and then clean up.

        It’s a shame smart people abandoned the Church. Romans makes it clear that Gentile Christians are not to be held to the Law of Moses, but that rather extensive part of Deuteronomy that deals with bodily fluids and rashes and stuff makes it equally clear that, even if we’re not meant to follow those exact rules, basic sanitation and disease control is part of the unwritten Law of God. Coupled with the idea that all authority comes from God (not just their particular authority, as this was written at a time when Rome was still ruled by pagans with pretentions of personal godhood), a compelling argument could have been made that staying home, masking up, and getting the vaccine is what Jesus wants you to do.

        But there is nobody left who is either able or willing to make that argument.
