    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 )
