    Yes, sure, he’s a little flaky. But God is just so perfect, all loving, and timeless…

    Exodus 21:20-21:

    Anyone who beats their male or female slave with a rod must be punished if the slave dies as a direct result, but they are not to be punished if the slave recovers after a day or two, since the slave is their property.
