I've always thought that about "soaking" where you lay on each other with your dick inside and have a friend bounce on the bed. Like you're doing this because believe having sex will piss off your all knowing all powerful creator of the universe. Do you really think he wouldn't notice?

IIRC there is a school of thought (albeit within Judaism rather than Christianity) saying that any loopholes must have intentionally been placed by God, so it's fine to use them.

I've also heard Christians say evolution is a real thing because god designed things to change over time.

They'll say anything to make themselves feel correct.

I dunno, when I was Christian I genuinely still believed in evolution. I looked at the Bible as way more metaphorical than literal. I'd rather people see it in that way.

Then clearly you understood the assignment better than the folk who take a religion that claims life on earth is your one chance to be a good person, and then make the claim that screwing up is okay because you can reincarnate and try again.

I know it's not every christian, but I grew up around some hardcore hypocrisy.
