As a straight man, I never understood why other men wanted completely submissive wives. At most I could accept this as role play kink in the bedroom. I want an equal partner who complements me, not a slave.

the idea that your body is not your own is so disgusting, it leads to so much harm i hate it.

If she's worshiping her husband, won't that make him a false idol?

Bruh the fact she was getting jealous of her kids getting the first “greeting” of their dad is absolutely chaotic and insane

I wish there wasn't so much Christian marriage advice out there that basically boils down to "shape yourself into a perfect tool for your husband to extract sex, validation and housework from." I cannot imagine living like that.

"Keep no record of wrongs" is gross and dangerous. How many abusive christian husbands use this verse to guilt their partners into forgiving them time and time again?

It’s interesting to me how the narrative isn’t also “men, don’t deprive your wife of emotional intimacy or it’s sin” 🤭

Had a relationship that ended when I realized my bf not only expected me to be the breadwinner because of my job, but also expected me to be a traditional wife and mother, take care of him and any kids we had, never mind that I worked 12 hour shifts. I could not get out of that relationship fast enough.

Having s8xual trauma from childhood/ early adult years, it has always completely depleted me of confidence when people say s8x is EXPECTED in relationships. I’m not Ace, I have a drive - but being told that I have a responsibility of that scares the hell out of me, and it’s not helpful.

If she has married young and stays at home unemployed, a woman may feel a stronger need to keep the marriage secure.

As a man who very much felt like the “nag”, if you’re wanting to nag less, you have to ask yourself why are you having to make the same request over and over again? Why is your spouse devaluing your wants so regularly that your requests are falling on deaf ears? Why are they letting you become background noise, for something that legitimately bothers you?

The misoginy of the wives having to accept and love their husband unconditionally, but the minute he comes home and you don't have a full face of make up on he will hate you and cheat on you... That's thinking very poorly of men in general. I'd be miserable if people, including my wife, all acted like i'm a childish tiking timebomb

49:01 You know her husband would never make the same amount of effort for her. Or at least in this culture, he would never be expected to. You have two toddlers, you’re working, pregnant and stressed and you feel like you have to pick up a messy playroom AND put makeup on for your husband? When your energy is already near zero, any extra nonessential obligations sounds like it would just brew resentment for the husband. It can’t be sustainable. It’s okay for your kids to be a bit snotty and the playroom a mess, he should be making sure YOU feel appreciated for taking on the responsibility of taking care of two little humans all by yourself.

She makes being a wife sound like torture on earth like here are all your chores ladies! And it’s like.. why? I don’t want to, what am I getting out of this?

why are we treating men/husbands like children

Always interesting to see when someone flips from "We have authority over each other" to "You must serve your husband" 🤔

Wow, ten-million copies....I'm in the wrong business. My mom believed this stuff and it led to insane amounts of abuse. When she finally agreed to divorce, after yet another physical attack (he literally broke one of her vertebrae but refused to take her for medical treatment because he was afraid of prosecution), I had to talk her through the reasons she wasn't doing something wrong day-after-day... I'm watching along and it's reminding me of the past.

Passive aggressively pray in a closet instead of using assertive communication, that will make my husband drool. got it.

"Don't talk to your spouse about your concerns, instead talk to your invisible friend about it and just have faith that will resolve the issue!" So much wrong with everything this poor woman says, anyway, thank you for addressing it all in a constructive way

I was raised evangelical and only left about 3.5 years ago and am currently in a queer relationship but the programming still goes so deep. Listening to their talking points, I had to keep reminding myself thay this doesn't apply to me which is crazy to me- not having the house clean and not always being sweet and delicate for my partner is a huge source of internal conflict and guilt for me even though no one around me is saying things like this anymore and my church was "progressive" in terms of spousal relationships (it wasn't progressive lmao)

As a married atheist I feel compelled to make my own list 😅 1. Be polite, say please and thank you. 2. Engage in the other person’s interest even if it’s brief. 3. Keep praise detailed rather than vague. 4. Don’t put the other person down in public. Discuss it in private. 5. Have one day per week to discuss if something is bothering you. We call it briefings. 6. Focus on behavior rather than attacking the person. You can do something stupid without being a stupid person. I find that the format “I felt (add specifics) in this situation and I would feel better if it is handled like (xyz) next time” works really well to communicate needs without over analyzing the specifics of the situation. 7. Don’t ignore or stonewall your partner, talk about what you feel and what you need such as space, cool down period etc.

Correction at 44:32. The Pearls don't just advocate for Child abuse. They advocate for straight up child torture and yes there is a difference. They openly admit the goal of their methods is to break their child's will and personality. That is the definition of child torture. Their own words at a conference were "A little psychological terror often works better than pain". Seems like a small difference but the distinction does matter

I love how "meet him at the door in sexy lingerie" is said immediately after "make sure the kids are clean". Like WHO BE WEARING LINGERIE AROUND KIDS????? And if you meet him at the door, what if the neighbors see? Will they then covet her? Like where is the awareness of the OTHER PEOPLE who exist?

45:39 This excerpt sounds like “make sure everything is perfect so the mood doesn’t shift and your husband goes off on an angry tantrum.”

I am a survivor of DV and SA perpetrated by my ex husband whom I was married to for almost 20 years. I blamed myself thinking if I just tried harder and prayed harder I wouldn't make him so upset or angry because I would FINALLY be a good wife This whole "submit" attitude is utter bullshit

My mom recently gave me a copy of “lord, let me love” by Marjorie Holmes that had been passed down from my great grandmother. It’s terrifying and fascinating. It’s really wild how depersonalized she is, like she’s taken her own internal monologue and labeled it as the voice of god, and she’s never alone even in the privacy of her own head. There’s so much stuff that retroactively reads as terrifying, knowing how those attitudes have played out. I always felt like evangelical men are always saying that their wives are neurotic and crazy, and it’s like, well they would be, wouldn’t they? You’ve repressed their sexuality, made them dependent on you, and forced them to take on all of the basic life sustaining tasks for her entire family.

Omg! My mom actually made my sister and i read this book when we turned 15 years old. She told us it would help us prepare ourselves for our future husbands. Long story short, my sister is freshly divorced. I am happily married but my husband and i deconstructed together shortly after getting married. We both agreed we didn't want our kids raised with this kind of ideology. What's funny is, i had my husband read this book so he could understand why i avoided certain conversations and such,and he literally was dumbfounded at everything in it. He said he didn't want that kind of stepford wife and he wanted me to be just as happy and free to express myself as he was. It's mind-blowing to me that my mom actually thought my sister and i needed this book for instructions on a proper marriage and life. Luckily the man i married actually loved me for me, and not because he just wanted a "good christian wife", and I'm so glad our kids don't have to deconstruct from it either.

Now that I think of it, bending over backwards to try to please someone from whom one gets no reciprocation is kind of what my experience of trying to have "a relationship with Jesus Christ" was like. Makes sense that my folks' "Christian marriage" seemed just as one-sided.

The idea that these people looked at the idea of withholding sex and thought, "Well he might cheat then, that's the problem," is wild. It IS wrong to use sex as a weapon, just as it's wrong to use anything as a weapon in a loving relationship. You shouldn't feel the need to manipulate your spouse, and if do you should be asking yourself why you can't just talk to them about what you want or need. To be fair, I'm also not a relationship counselor, but I've been with my husband for going on 14 years now. We don't play games, we talk to each other because we are each the other's favorite person to talk to.

Every time I hear "serve your husband" a bit of bile rises in my throat. I don't want a servant I want a partner.

your videos keep my mind busy during work and help me work through my own religious trauma. Thank you!

She didn’t get through her first sentence and I was already fuming at how she bent that book spine around

It breaks my heart to hear her saying that she doesnt think that theres any point talking to her husband or communicating him when hes failing her/their marriage.

To this woman I would love to look in her eyes, "Sweet, stupid, summer child.... I've been married, happily I may add , longer than you have been alive. I think I'll pass on your infantile marriage "advice." What happens if you get a chronic illness? What if you're children have learning or mental health issues? What if one of your çhildren comes out as trans? What If those things happen you're not going to have enough energy or time for you doing All the stuff in your list. We have gone through that and much more with money, family, neighbors, jobs,friend problems and yet here we are. I'm not in it to impress or worship my husband. We are a team.

"Are we just going to misquote [Bible] verses and then ignore other verses when they don't line up with what our little helpful tips are here?" She is a conservative Christian, after all.

You know I love your videos, but I had to shut this one off because I was so triggered. This is the crap I was raised with and I still have trauma over it to this day. I literally stayed with a husband that I could not stand the sight of for 20 years because of this nonsense. Thank PAPA I came to my senses and didn't waste my entire life being miserable. Why would a god who "loves us" so much want us to miserable? I will never understand that.

As a man, I hate when trad people act like I’m some mindless meat monster. I am perfectly capable of being rational, thoughtful, and mature. I’m not gonna cry if my wife refuses to kiss me or whatever

So according to Maribel Morgan, it’s not only a wife’s responsibility to be sexually available to her husband, it’s also her responsibility to enjoy the sex as much as he does. If she doesn’t enjoy it, she is somehow failing him. Is it then the husband’s responsibility to enjoy the food his wife makes for him? (Obviously, in this framework, she’s the one making the food.) The whole concept is absurd and clearly exposes how this ideology attributes all the privileges to the husband and all the responsibilities to the wife.

I hate it when my wife nags me about trivia. Every damn day, it's "Who won the 1924 World Series" this and "What famous Roman dictator shares has name with a popular salad" that. I mean Jesus christ Helen, WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME

I'm watching the video during lunch (in Brazil). My environment is very religious and I'm not, so your channel is a space in which I feel safe. Thanks!

Oh yeah, hearing "it's spiritually important to give sex to your husband and a sin if you don't" growing up was so harmful to me. I would cry my eyes out thinking I could never be married because I can't do this one thing that "all" men need.

I've been working my way out of a horrifyingly conservative background for a long while, and your phrasing - that the reason this service-based womanhood is dangerous is because it makes the relationship about what she does, not who she is as a person - clarified SO MUCH for me. Thank you.

I am 44 but was raised in a Christian home . I married at 19 and was inundated with this advice. I lived by it I prayed constantly. My communicating was considered nagging. I lived with a man that couldn’t keep a job, stayed out all night long and slept all day . I was so angry but was trained to hold it in , it comes out no matter how hard you try . I watched my mom do this and it was just normal, men were just like this . I never witnessed anything other than sexual interaction between them unless it was abuse . Christians tend to put all the blame and responsibility on the women. However he’s supposed to be the leader she does it all and he gets the victory. I was also trained to not have any negative thoughts . These books eventually lead the same road to ongoing long lasting abusive homes and divorce . This isn’t improving any marriage, it’s akin to duct tape over your mouth because your in pain . Your still in pain it’s just you can’t scream.

Milena's first verse ending with "because of your lack of self-control" is a hoooooooorrendous translation of that verse. It has nothing to do with "lack of self-control" and everything to do with losing that healthy connection and commitment to one another over time.

men should help with inside work and women should help with outside work since they both live there. I agree

God: don’t worship idols, people, inanimate objects, etc The Total Woman: *worship your husband* 💀

This stuff makes me physically ill. When I was a young girl, I remember feeling so subhuman for being "naggy" or being "quarrelsome" or being "bossy". My father used to have temper tantrums at us. He'd come home mad from work and explode at us even as young children. If we fought back or argued or stood up for ourselves, we'd be punished. After, when Mom finally decided to say something, my sister and I were told that we needed to learn to be more obedient and we were told allllll the things my dad did for us and why we should feel guilty about fighting with him. It's insane to me as an adult how we as young girls were supposed to be so emotionally stable while my 40 year old father didn't need to be because he was a man. To tell women, over and over and over again, that we are supposed to just never challenge men on their bad behavior is so sick and wrong and it's the #1 reason we have so many women hating incels. Because men are taught that no matter how old they are, it's a woman's job to just accept and tolerate anything they do. And "nag" is so gendered. Only women can do it. Nobody says a man complaining or negging or whining for sex "nagging". The idea that there's a special word for when women express dissatisfaction versus men should give people pause. Furthermore, there IS pubmed journals about men having a higher sex drive than women, so at least that part was accurate.

My question in all of this is, if the husband is supposed to be the head of the household why is it the wife that has to initiate all these “good habits” to make a “happy home”? Shouldn’t it be the man who does all this to lead his wife in a happy and peaceful home 🤔

It's advice like this that has led to their being so many man children out there. And it's just as much of a disservice to them as it is to the wives and mothers who support them. A lot of these guys are going to end up end up getting a divorce and they're not going to have any idea what led up to it because they've been told this whole time that this is the way things are supposed to be. And then when it does happen they're not going to know how to take care of even their basic needs. Don't get me wrong, there are some men in this situation that still opt to carry their own weight and have still learned to care for themselves and care for their partner. But I honestly think those cases are despite advice like this and not because of it.

To this day it still trips me out to see videos about Milena and Jordan on youtube channels I follow, cuz I went to high school with them and we were in the same youth group growing up. While we were never really close or anything, I do remember them both being generally kind but very indoctrinated. They were kind of the poster children for the toxic purity culture our church imposed upon us. They were high school sweethearts and very much wanted the "god centered life". While I never had a problem with them personally there was only one incident I felt was an uncomfortable moment for me in my interactions with Jordan. To provide context, we lived in a very white, predominantlg wealthy area of Michigan, and our church was a megachurch that you could see from the freeway. While Jordan was always generally kind to everyone, his family was, and continues to be staunchly republican and very conservative and therefore, many of his views reflect that. One day on our annual missions trip to North Carolina, he came back from his work site (we were working on different sites) and his team was in charge of making the meal for the night and i guess on his work site, he was helping a black family rebuild their roof and when he saw me after he said "India we should get married one day so we can have beautiful little mixed babies" and as one of the only black girls on the trip it definitely made me feel uncomfortable. Fast forward to 2016 and he was very vocal about his support of donald trump and we got into multiple facebook arguments about politics and we eventually unfriended each other due to our differences. All that being said, its so surreal to see their content knowing we all grew up in the same church and community and now, having gonw through my own deconstruction, its just wild to think that back then, I wanted nothing more than to live the life Milena has now and now I wouldn't want anything to do with it.

Omg the "put yourself in his shoes" at the end of the day is soul crushing. Of course no mention of asking the husband for the same! It could be argued he's probably less in need of an oasis than the wife/partner who has been home with kids all day. The parent at home also needs that "slice of heaven." But no....the little wife is responsible for creating the peace, not sharing in it. Ugh its so gross and dismissive of domestic labor

I feel sad for women who watch this stuff because they want affection from their husband. If your having this type of problem in your relationship you should be able to communicate with each other

This Christian wife is using manipulation rather that communication. Women are accused of being manipulators as a general rule and this just adds into that.

My asexual spouse would be so miserable with this advice. 😂

I'm so glad that people are FINALLY talking about Milena! She's had some super toxic teachings for years and has flown under the radar for far too long!

It seems like a good wife has to be this Barbie doll, which is allways kind, chill and beautiful without caring about her own feelings and her mental health. Main focus on her husband, his feelings, his desires, never reflecting how she feels inside. The husband on the other hand doesnt need to care about her feelings, it seems like he can be a spoiled, over protectes child his whole live never caring about the woman next to him. A wife is not the mother of her husband. They are grown up.

Honestly my biggest question from her video is “if you’re constantly thinking of negative things, complaining, nagging and not wanting to show love to your partner, why is this really happening?” Obviously there’s tons of nuance like life circumstances causing the negative feelings however I’ve heard this stuff a ton growing up and the wives that “struggle” with these things, from my observation aren’t in healthy marriages and have legitimate reasons to be upset but they’re told they just need to “respect” their husband and pray about it 🤦🏼‍♀️

Well all this sounds exhausting. Im happy I'm single.

Dont communicate with your own husband about your concerns, have the holy spirit do it! 🤗

I'm a caregiver for the elderly and it's a common theme I see where the super religious become miserable later in life. The women who grow up strictly catholic have an intense fear that carries on into later life and a docile, submissive personality. Giving all faith to God and acting on their best behavior, they become destraught when they lose everything. One woman said to me "why did this happen to me, I've been such a good girl/such a good wife" etc... I heard that and realized I could never live for a man or live by anyone else's standards but my own. Some husbands just walk out on their wives without warning. I've tried to become comfortable being alone because in the end that's our destiny. (Sorry to be morbid) ❤

Telling women to be happy about being a cooking, cleaning sex sleeve is insane. Not only that, but this is for men too. She’s telling men to expect and demand that their wife be like this or she’s the problem. He’s absolved from literally any consequences of his bad behavior because he can do whatever tf he wants at the end of the day.

25:13 Who else got mad and sad when she took Samson's new bone away? It wasn't even that loud and he looked so confused. At least give him a replacement item!😂

As a christian I totally agree with your videos, I know that most Christians who make this type of videos may not have bad intentions but it can cause really bad situations for people and toxic relationships

Another aspect that's so harmful in the 'men want physical affection, women want emotional affection' is.. as a teenage girl who was very focused on physical affection, I felt like a freak and an outsider every single time people repeated this idea, or assumed that us girls weren't 'struggling' with certain types of 'sins' because the boys are the only ones interested in such things.

the term nagging makes me wanna explode fr

I'm slightly concerned that "clean up the kids" and "greet him in lingerie" are mentioned in the same breath...

As a believer, watching videos like this enrich my perspective. Thank you for sharing your thoughts! Even if I don’t agree with everything, you are brilliant and worth listening to.

I subscribed long ago for the anti-MLM content, but I've been absolutely loving the religion commentary videos as well. Especially as an ex-evangelical Christian myself. Thanks for the thoughtful and entertaining videos! Also, I love your curly bangs! I've been wanting bangs again (used to have them, would style them straight every day), and your recent videos have inspired me to get those bangs and embrace the curl! ❤

"She prayed and her husband decided not to play those video games anymore." r/thathappened

I love how she's going on and on about how to be a good wife for you husband and isn't even wearing a wedding band.

Back in the 70s my MIL gave me a similar book. I can't remember the title but it should have been "How To Manipulate Your Husband By Acting Like a Submissive Little Girl" . One of the "lessons" was how to act childlike, sit on his lap and pout real cutely to get him not to be mad at you . 😖

This relationship dynamic is my parents, and I feel so bad for my mom. I guess religion keeps her there. And watching them over the years has brought me here. Thanks for your content, you help me stay sane.

She's talking about making your husband fall more in love with you by changing yourself, but does he actually truly love you if he doesn't accept you as you really are?

I'm sewing while listening to you. Thank you for giving your perspective on such videos. They make me quite uneasy.

@25:02 Meanwhile, somewhere in Heaven ... GOD: "Arrgh! I'm trying to play the Sims! Why does this woman keep nagging me about her damn husband?!"

I enjoy this format of video. It's helpful to hear someone who's more fully deconstructed speak to the underlying structure that this advice is built upon. It also continues to make me happy whenever you bring up asexuality. It's something I didn't learn about until later and felt odd growing up in the church realizing I didn't like the sound of or want this most sacred and godly relationship. Getting to come into myself and be in a queer platonic relationship with a fellow aromantic asexual has demonstrated to me that it is possible to have an honest, balanced, emotionally intimate, sexless, and godless relationship where it actually feels comfortable and good! I look forward to the next video

I just imagined having kids and the woman wears lingerie for when the husband comes home. "Daddy's going to be here soon, mommy put on the scratchy clothes!" 😂

The bit about ~'not nagging but instead going to your prayer closet' smacks of heavy handed passive aggression. It seems to me that such behavior is not only toxicly manipulative but also sure to breed resentment in one or both parties.

Want to find a lot of language that's very similar to those dominant/submissive concepts of sex? Go find some BDSM literature, and compare the language. She might as well be reading from a "guide to being a $ex slave" It's really weird how the "purity" she is seeking, is expressed in the same way as hard-core dom/sub sex relationships. Especially the absurd focus on "fulfilling" all of their partners desires, so they won't cheat. Maybe, she's part of the wrong religion.

I grew up in toxic purity culture and "Christiaan marriage advice" like this (which go hand in hand). The effects are long lasting and I'm still healing so I love this breakdown. But I had a funny thought about the "greet him at the door" bits - my partner works overnight and I laughed at how unhinged it would be to like malicious compliance her advice - greeting him at the door with a full dinner in the oven at 6am with an apron on and a maniacal smile on my face XD

Christian thought #1: humans are NOT animals, we are made in the image of god. Christian thought #2: men are animals that cannot control their sexual urges, so wives must be submissive to their husbands urges. Christianity loves it's internal contradictions. I don't think I've ever found a Christian concept, that didn't contradict some other aspect of their beliefs. Modern Christianity is probably the most hypocritical of any if the major religions. Two of Jesus's primary rules for his followers were "A camel will pass more easily through the eye of a needle, than a wealthy man will enter Heaven" and "keep God's Laws separate from Man's Laws" Jesus was a strict non-materialist (he was a hard-core anti-Capitalist); and Jesus wanted his followers to not be corrupted by the twisting of words that is required for Politics (Man's Law) Jesus was very specific, don't be a materialst(Capitalist) and don't be Political. Yet, we can seen the numbers of "Christians" who will completely ignore whatever they want, no matter who says it. If Jesus came back today, he would probably side with the Secular Humanists and Socialists.

Don’t speak to your husband about issues, go away and pray/stew on it. Are you kidding me?!

The wine shot reminded me of "two shots of vodka... 🍸🪣🪣🪣🏊🏻‍♀️"

I find it strange watching young people / couples talking about maintaining the passion in their relationship. Do they have kids? Have they dealt with the everyday struggles of maintaining a household - finances, careers, family, etc.? So, even beyond the Christian messaging, I wouldn't listen to a young woman like Melanie. I have been with my wife for 20 years, and we remain happily married. Yet, is the passion the same as what it was 20 years ago? Hell no. But that's ok, relationships evolve. Hopefully this isn't sexist, but Melanie is still young and beautiful. It's not hard for her to attract a man. It is not reasonable for my 50 year old wife to act the same way - and it's not like I'm young and handsome either.

If I was the Holy Spirit I’d be so annoyed about women bothering me about their husbands’ video game habits

I love your content, you stay very respectful and love your input/perspective.

My husband and I have sex at *most* once or twice a week (rare) and at least will go without for around a month or longer, yet we are intimate *daily*. So much so that people who come across us in person think we're either newlyweds (been together almost 7 years) or have sex frequently. All this to say that not only is intimacy NOT exclusive to sex, but sex is also NOT an indicator of intimacy. My husband and I define (and share) intimacy as a feeling of closeness/togetherness, this can be done in SO MANY BEAUTIFUL ways that are simply not related to sexual intercourse - and to limit one's view on intimacy to that of strictly (or even *primarily*) sexual intercourse, is to cheat one's relationship of legitimately beautiful experiences.

Their pit bull is beautiful! He's such a good boy! He is literally the only good part of the video

I showed this to my husband and he said “I couldn’t imagine viewing you or your body as my possession.. you’re not a damn object. you’re my wife” … good to know I’m safe lol

The hymn Everytime she reads an excerpt from the book 😭🤣

I wanna be like you and drew in my relationship. Y'all seem so comfy and funny

Thanks, Taylor! As someone who spent over 15 years in a marriage where I was constantly given horrible advice from church ladies, I appreciate you tackling this. Once again, I hear Christians projecting their own flaws onto others. Don't get pissy every time your husband wants to go out, remember to show your love and gratitude to your spouse... Why does she assume we are not already doing these things??? (spoiler alert, because she is not!) It blows me away how many young wives think they know everything about a perfect marriage. What I do know about marriage, is that there is no guaranteed way to fix every marriage. Many marriages are unfixable. Others need a lot of heavy lifting. No problematic relationship is going to turn around because you put on some makeup and lingerie. This will improve a healthy relationship that is a little stale.

I think she makes a really nice point about doing kind/generous things for your partner. The problem, for me, is that she clearly doesn't expect the partner to ever consider doing anything like this. I think its GREAT if you get up in the morning with your partner and make their coffee! HOWEVER, it's less great if you do this for them but they never show any different behavior. If you're going to go above and beyond, they should do that at some point for you. Relationships are a two-way street.

Absolutely eye-opening. I used to watch Milena when she was just getting into her Christian Girl series and I actually really liked listening to her. It's sad to see where this movement takes women as they get older. A lot of my current season of life has been deconstructing these kinds of narratives. It's insanely difficult. Thanks for taking the time to put together such a careful comparison that makes a lot of sense! Great video.

“This town ain’t big enough for the two of us” 😂😂😂😂 I’m DECEASED

Listening to you/viewing your videos is such a good entertainment! You seem like a naturally wise person. This is definitely one of my favorite channels on RU-vid, I'm very glad that I found it. Thank you! Have a nice day!❤

I am a Christian myself, Catholic to be precise. But I really can't comprehend how you can take the Bible at face value. It speaks in pictures to convey certain principles to the people of that time. Also you can't forget, that the events were first passed on for centuries and only then written down. As a child, we all played a game of Chinese whispers and know what happens when a story is retold by a few people, let alone hundreds and thousands. So reading bible verses to tell other people how they should live and condemning someone if they don't live like that is incomprehensible to me. Nevertheless, the values conveyed in the bible are incredibly important and should be passed on, such as: not killing, stealing, envying someone, also turning the other cheek, being a good neighbour,... Edit: another thing that I forgot to mention is that like you said, everyone interprets the verses of the Bible differently, which means that nothing is certain. .Plus there's just a lot of Christian practice that's not even mentioned in the Bible, so calling it the very 'fabric' of Christianity is questionable. The practice of going to a physical church on sunday isn't even mentioned in the Bible, that's just a practice that developed based on ideas about Sunday being the sabbath and the importance of having an ecclesiastical community. People for centuries have been adapting Christianity to go with the times, despite what many people want to believe. The Christians of the 1600s for example are not the Christians of today (they'd lose their shit if they discovered we no longer had a God-fearing King). The Christians of the 1950s are also not the same ones of today. In the first 1000 years of Christianity, as I seem to remember, there were no depictions of Christ on the cross in art. Instead of Jesus the martyr, it was Jesus the good Shepard, and all you saw was Jesus being around sheep in early Christian art. It wasn't until war and pilgrimages that followers started depicting and focusing on Jesus's sacrifice.
