@freemo
1) This is objectively false interpretation as all translations of Leviticus 19 start with some version of "God said to Moses: "
2) Sure, but at that point you are doing several layer deep schizophrenic pattern seeking.
3) Yes that would be the most logical interpretation
4) Yeah the new testament redcons the old one but here you have a distinct 2 faiths, not two interpretations of the same faith.

@freemo I find the multiple interpretations or treating religion as a buffet argument often quite insincere and intellectually dishonest.

You call yourself a believer of a religion. The religion has some scripture and some history.
Those say that believers should act certain way, say certain things, perform certain rituals to appease their deity. But you do absolutely none of that. At that point what makes you any different from an unbeliever who acts the same way you do?

Yes there are different interpretations, a lot of parts of religion are intentionally vague so that they can't be proven false. There are things lost in translation. But rarely are those direct negations.
Yes you can have a discussion on if various food rules etc make sense to uphold if they were made to prevent disease and we now know how to do it better, but that's not the case with social or political stuff, humans haven't changed.
If I write a book and call it Scripture 2.0 and just negate the original belief, I didn't make a new interpretation, I'm just wrong.

I looked at a german videogame magazine from 1993 to see how expensive videogames were back then. I remembered they were around 100 DM (50 euro), and that was somewhat accurate, they were more like 120DM (60 EURO).

If games would have stayed at the same price level, a videogame would cost 102 euro in 2023.

Generally, I feel that games have become a lot cheaper over the years. Videos and other entertainment, too.
