Why the law of Moses prohibits anal sex

Your geology skills might actually be worse than your biology ones. Spring water comes from two places. It's either from a aquifer, which is an underground collection of water in some manner of rock or what have you, or it's run-off from melting ice & snow, or some combination of them. Neither of those are inherently "pure" by any stretch of the imagination. The underground water might actually be the worst of the two, because that layer of rock and such it's encased in could contain anything. There are entire ecosystems of microscopic organisms within aquifers, including many manner of diseases and other things harmful to our health.

Sorry buddy, its common knowledge that spring water is generally safe to drink. Especially when drinking directly from the spring. Its also common knowledge that the further downstream you go the more hazardous the water becomes because of fecal matter. Usually beavers. I never said it was "inherently pure", I said it didn't spread diseases.

Are you basing that on Deut 23:13-14?
יג ויד תהיה לך, מחוץ למחנה; ויצאת שמה, חוץ. יד ויתד תהיה לך, על-אזנך; והיה, בשבתך חוץ, וחפרתה בה, ושבת וכסית את-צאתך.

I sure am.

We are all on a sliding scale in my view. The amount that we know of God's laws are the amount that He holds us accountable to. Many Native American's were righteous people who didn't "speak with forked tongues", they honored their parents and cared for the needy in their communities. These tribes were righteous in God's eyes. Other tribes were murderous and sacrificed human beings, these tribes were evil in God's eyes. Its that simply imho.

Could be. But that does not answer the question: why did He choose you and forgot the rest? if those tribes were righteous without ever having heard of Abraham or Adam and Eve, why did He focus so much on you guys? Did you need special attention?

There is only one logical explanation. You made Him up so that He cared about you and you only. It happens all the time, really.

and you accept all the requirements laid out in those 2 verses?

Well according to Leviticus if you are raped you have to marry your rapist, that means now that gay marriage is legal you might have to marry a guy if he rapes you, Simple logic, so be careful, very careful.

Not true. You need to reread the Torah brother.

How does it not spread diseases? Diseases aren't magically killed by water. Feces is mostly water. You're not making sense, man. The only water that won't spread disease has been super-heated precisely because the heat is what kills the disease.

Any water that you or any other animal can get to means that your waste material can & will get to it as well. If you can stumble across an aquifer, even one unknown to people, that just means we didn't know about it. Animals did and likely have for hundreds, perhaps thousands(or more) of years. Which means if you were to extract some of that water and look at it under a microscope, you're gonna find a lot of stuff in there. And chances are some of those things are gonna be bad for you.

I suppose you can assume this if you want.

Drinking clear spring water from the source does not spread diseases. Which is what I said originally.

You haven't spent much time in the wild have you?

The nation of Israel received the revelation from Moses. This does not mean that Israel was the ONLY nation to understand the basic tenants of right a wrong. People of all nations inherently know that it is right to help our neighbors. They also know that it is wrong to murder someone. Everyone will be held accountable for the level of righteousness that they understand. The more you know of God's laws the more you are accountable for. That means we have greater potential for both blessings and curses then those who don't know these commands.

But then, why did He choose you to be at such disadvantage? Wouldn't you rather be a native Australian 1000 years ago totally ignorant about God's laws?

No matter how you rationalize that you will always land with an unfair God. Either He gives you an edge on blessings or He gives you an edge in curses. Both suboptimal solutions.

Again, this can only be resolved if you really made Him up so that you are at center stage. It is the only rational conclusion, really.

drinking directly from the spring is no guarantee. The water doesn't start at that spot.

"Another problem with springs fed by shallow groundwater is that they are contaminated easily by microorganisms and other pollutants from the land surface. For this reason it is important that no contamination sources be located upslope from the spring and that any surface runoff be diverted away from the spring development."

Are you agreeing with more or disagreeing?

..but that's not true. If you use proper protection, anal sex is no more likely to spread disease than vaginal sex.

"There are a number of health risks with anal sex, and anal intercourse is the riskiest form of sexual activity for several reasons, including the following:

The anus lacks the natural lubrication the vagina has. Penetration can tear the tissue inside the anus, allowing bacteria and viruses to enter the bloodstream. This can result in the spread of sexually transmitted infections including HIV.

The tissue inside the anus is not as well protected as the skin outside the anus. Our external tissue has layers of dead cells that serve as a protective barrier against infection. The tissue inside the anus does not have this natural protection, which leaves it vulnerable to tearing and the spread of infection.

The anus is full of bacteria. Even if both partners do not have a sexually-transmitted infection or disease, bacteria normally in the anus can potentially infect the giving partner."

Can we stop banging our heads into the wall with these semantics? Generally, spring water is healthy to drink unless contaminated. Can we all agree on this?

Yes

Once again, God is likely trying to prevent humans from animals that spread diseases. Undercooked pork is extremely dangerous to eat. Some disease are found in Pork that can't be removed from the meat by cooking it as well. Of course, you have the freedom to choose your own course for life. This is part of the beauty behind the whole thing.

Undercooked fish is incredibly dangerous and often carries parasites. Far more dangerous than under cooked pork.

Generally, protected anal sex is safe. Isn't it the same "generally"?

 

[rosends]

Yes

so you walk away from the camp and bury your waste with a shovel?
