    "If you want to be perfect sell everything you own, give the money to the poor, and follow me" is my favorite line in the bible right now.

      bible has lotsa misses, but what it gets right it gets rly right

      I'm personally partial to some of the laws

      21 “Do not mistreat or oppress a foreigner, for you were foreigners in Egypt.

      22 “Do not take advantage of the widow or the fatherless.

      23 If you do and they cry out to me, I will certainly hear their cry.

      24 My anger will be aroused, and I will kill you with the sword; your wives will become widows and your children fatherless.

      25 “If you lend money to one of my people among you who is needy, do not treat it like a business deal; charge no interest.

      26 If you take your neighbor’s cloak as a pledge, return it by sunset,

      27 because that cloak is the only covering your neighbor has. What else can they sleep in? When they cry out to me, I will hear, for I am compassionate.

      (tho the books of laws are full of some of the most horrible parts of the book too yea )
