Look, you've got dirt coming out of your vag! Excellent!
I, nor God, didn't say that a woman having her period was a bad or evil thing. I didn't say that being dirty was a bad thing. Dirt isn't bad.
& what are we to make of the notion that this uncleanliness persists even after washing, other than that it means spiritually unclean & hence a lot worse than merely having dirt upon one's pants?
Leviticus
15:19 And if a woman have an issue, and the issue in her flesh be blood, she shall be put apart seven days: and whosoever toucheth her shall be unclean until the even.
15:20-26 Blah blah blah... Anything she touches, anyone who touches her, or what she touched is unclean.
Sadly there were quite a lot & since a great deal of them referenced something you didn't even name or link to, they made little sense.
Blame god for that too!
ha ha ha my my my there are no words.
I realize they are many who have claimed this about UFO's but when it comes to truth, the truth is, I just may be wrong and they may be right.
ha ha ah he even has a point by point profile of the "Typical Christian" and oh of course we are all stupid and depressed or needing a crutch etc. Hasn't man always done things like that to people they were about to genocide?

whats that got to do with your double standards moocow. I don't believe a word you say anymore you have proven you're completely oblivious to the truth and no nothing about what anyone teaches. It's what YOU teach that is dangerous as you mock up images of Christians in some dungeonesque gothic church basement plannning our next door to door trac delivery waterboarding everyone into the faith using a speculum to keep there mouth open while we shove the bible down their throats like you teach your daughter about us.
I've yet to have (or even hear of) a Ufologist (for want of a better proper noun) who happens to be a teacher, tell my child that Klatu is the creator of the universe.
You're saying Christians teach klatu is the creator of the universe? WE don't teach that either moocowman so again get some education and quit talking like you think you know what you're talking about because you don't and sarcasm makes for a bad replacement to cover it up.
Should my child not accept what the teacher has to say about Klatu then Klatu will kill my child.
You can't keep your own BS straight moocowmad, you just said they don't preach about klatu let alone believe in it.
Do you ever get around to a logical mature discussion or is trying to piss people off all you know how to do?

What is of particular interest, is that the first reference to genocide would appear to be the bibles accounts, of the Jesus god committing this very act.
Indeed, you may correct me if I'm mistaken but should I visit any library in search of the history of genocide , the earliest incident of the repugnant act was committed by the Yahweh Jesus god.
It would appear that the first mass killer of humans was the alleged creator of humans, the Jesus god, who apparently developed quite a taste for human blood.
It would also appear that this compassionate loving entity, was not satisfied with it's own blood lust, but would appear to relish in genocidal voyeurism, by instructing a select few humans to slaughter other humans en mass .
It's only quality that could be imaginatively stretched to be considered redeeming, Was to have its' accomplices in mass murder, spare little girls for later raping and subjugation and slavery.
And you would really think my children should be introduced to this ?

Btw, I don't blame your god for christianity. I blame you. Not just you obviously. You christians are collectively, ie jointly & severally, responsible for its continuing existance & thus for the damage to every young child from here on who has their potential warped by your wilfully ignorant creed.
Oh how I long for the day when christianity really is dead & tho I'll probably be dead myself by then, its good to know that humanity will be that much closer to healing the wounds carried forward into each new generation by religion.

Dirt is dirty. God would say that dirt causes one to be dirty. Just as blood makes a rag dirty
To stigmatise menstrual blood with the generalisations "dirty" or "filthy" is to denegrate a natural bodily function & cannot but induce shame in one undergoing that function, which she can't help, thus it is misogynistic.
I'm amazed how you can imagine how a bodily function can be considered to be dirty by that which created it.
In Hinduism, where rules of untouchability could be vast and complex, bleeding women were expected to avoid worship, cooking, and members of their own family through restrictions that were precisely proscribed; according to the Vendidad (16.4), a woman in her menses "should keep fifteen paces from fire, fifteen from water … and three paces from a holy man."

The respect of taboos is one of the things common to all humans. Taboos are found everywhere, and are always aimed at preventing some form of perceived danger or misfortune. There are, however, different types of taboos, and I will focus in this article on taboos which are linked with productive activities in sub-Saharan Africa. Although I believe that the argument developed in this article could be extended elsewhere, I will limit the analysis to this region, which I know best. All over sub-Saharan Africa, most traditional productive activities (i.e. ironworking, (1) pottery making, (2) beer brewing or wine tapping, (3) agriculture, (4) rain making, (5) cooking, (6) cattle herding, (7) house building, (8) salt making, (9) hunting (10) or waging war, (11) etc.) are incompatible with menstruating women, sexual relations and pregnant women. Taboos usually aim at keeping productive activities apart from men and women in contact with menstrual blood, sex or pregnancy. Those who break the taboos not only threaten the success of the activity (the hunt or iron smelting might fail, the beer, wine or milk might turn sour or stop producing, the pots might break when they are fired, etc.) but endanger themselves (the hunter may be attacked or killed by a wild animal, a pregnant woman may miscarry, a menstruating woman may suffer from amenorrhoea, a man may lose his potency, etc.) As can be seen, the consequences of a breach of a taboo do not always affect the person at fault, but may threaten the innocent (such as a hunter whose life is endangered by the careless behaviour of a menstruating woman, for example). Such taboos are not the result of social conventions; there are no 'police' to enforce them. There is no moral consideration, either, no judgement in terms of 'good' or 'bad'. The sanction is automatic and has a mystical, not a social, nature (although social sanctions can reinforce mystical ones). Finally, although taboos are linked with 'boundary crossing', there is no aspect of contagion. People who break a taboo, and the people or activity affected by the action, do not become 'impure' and do not spread any impurity to others (Heusch, 1990; Smith, 1979). (12)
So as you can see we have lost much of the reason why,
(such as a hunter whose life is endangered by the careless behaviour of a menstruating woman, for example).
You need to quit drinking the hateraid, moocow.

I mean what do you care what it says about genocide when you don't believe in God anyway. If he is real and does exist then the rest of the bible would be true and as it says, the reason for said genocide.

moocowman I always enjoy reading your post, thanks for bringing this information to everyone's attention. Christianity in all its forms will probably decline heavily soon or will considerably adapt to survive in the new age that is upon us. You'd think with everything going to hell people would turn to religion as a support blanket but I see less of that type of "escaping" these days.

You will be begging God for Christians once the Muslim extremists take over.
There's a rise in the practice of Islam, yes, but I wasn't aware that the majority of the Muslims were extremists. Thanks for sharing that with us. You seem upset that someone (in your eyes) puts down Christianity and then you go on to assume that if Islam is popular extremist will take over.
The hypocrisy among Christians is ridiculous and just as ramped as with any other religion (or even among some atheist). *sigh* This is why people just might be glad to see such things, including Christianity, slipping away, just saying.

I am surprised you didn't know that there were many Ancient tribal taboos including coming in contact with a menstruating women
Since you don't have any idea about him and think you got it all figured out, than may I ask wht the hell you are trying to prove? You posted your info about the State Church's denomination apostate church losing its members so be done with it already.
Slavery in the ancient text is is servant and many of them were paid anyone under the king no matter what rank was a slave in that context
A paid servant is an employee

Yes I was fully aware of this, the point being raised was that jesus yahweh doesn't want an unclean woman in its' temple.
Apparently women who are menstruating are no longer considered unclean, as menstruating women regularly attend the jesus yahweh gods' churches.
Either yahwehjesus changed its mind or Tampax have managed to develop a product which is able to elude the almighty.
I think you missed the point of the discussion my friend, the taboo in itself was not the real issue but the source of the taboo.
Clearly the development of this particular custom/taboo could in no way have anything to do with human evolution as it is a creationists creators taboo/custom, according to those that defend it with such vehemence.
