ahhh Deutoronomy, what a treasure trove of wisdom from Yahweh :-D

Deut 25:11-12
“If two men, a man and his countryman, are struggling together, and the wife of one comes near to deliver her husband from the hand of the one who is striking him, and puts out her hand and seizes his genitals, then you shall cut off her hand; you shall not show pity.

Are there records of them actually doing this back then? I know Rome was brutal and the bible misogynistic, but for some reason I thought a lot of it was just hot air.

Are you calling the Word of God hot air? :omg4:

Not sure what you're referring to with the following.

Anger management is not bible God's forte.

What I find strange is that Christians have been aware of their God's immoral ways for quite some years now yet they keep putting coins in the hands and collection baskets of churches who only lie to them and promote homophobia and misogyny.

I don't understand how so called religious people can be so immoral.

I heard that same phrase in this clip but these Jews were bright and moral enough to find God guilty of his atrocities while Christians do not seem that moral or bright.

There has to be some other factor that I just do not get.

I think he's asking whether, in the somewhat unlikely event of the genitals grab, the punishment was meted out. Hot air is a possibility. In Muslim countries today, the letter of God's law isn't necessarily carried out. Call such pronouncements as Deut 25-11-12 cases of perverse idealism?
