@fluffy @sun Is there actually a problems with "noahide law??"

Per Wikipedia (I know, I know):

The Seven Laws of Noah as traditionally enumerated in the Babylonian Talmud (Sanhedrin 56a-b) and Tosefta (Avodah Zarah 9:4), are the following:

  1. Not to worship idols.
  2. Not to curse God.
  3. Not to commit murder.
  4. Not to commit adultery or sexual immorality.
  5. Not to steal.
  6. Not to eat flesh torn from a living animal.
  7. To establish courts of justice.

Which sounds mostly like a disjoint set of the Ten Commandments. the last two are not in them. Somehow, I've never had a desire to eat flesh torn from a living animal (was a hunter so this was not abstract, mercy kills of wounded animals is a thing), and establishing courts of justice is basic civilization to get you out of the domain of "self help" and the resulting blood feuds etc.

Or given this is a Talmud thing, is the problem in interpretation?

@Wpedantic @fluffy Ah ha! Yes, a matter of interpretation, and correct for them, however misguided they are.

So @sun is talking about something Kosher "Christians" say, either not realizing this, or in truth not being Christians.

But this one is also a Ten Commandments item. Christians historically have by definition a compatible with Christ interpretation. Even the post-Vatican II Catholic church I was brought up in.

@sun @fluffy @j @Wpedantic @ThatWouldBeTelling tbh as a joke i get it. but there are certain jokes not made for public. just like mohammed caricatures. im an atheist and i think both are dumb jokes. bc the only punchline is it hurts people in their belief. there is no other gag. no meta level. no punching up against those in power. it aint thought provoking. if she would add an actual reason it would be more interesting. "bc he spent all his time with tax collectors and whores" would make this satire (and be biblically atleast partially accurate)
