NONE OF THIS MAKES ANY SENSE.
Right now, I’m reading an excerpt for my Values and Morality class. It’s about the Gospels of Jesus and how Christ viewed the topic of divorce. Here is an actual excerpt from Chapter 15 of The Moral Vision of the New Testament, written by Richard B. Hays:
Rather than having the holy polluted by the unholy, the opposite effect occurs. The holy “contaminates” the unholy and sanctifies it. Holiness is more powerful than uncleanness. Or, to put it a bit more provocatively, holiness is - as it were - a venereal disease, passed from one spouse to the other.
Apparently, a believer can fuck Christianity into their spouse and their spouse will be saved.
…just not from the crabs.
