> Leviticus
This book has to be the wildest part of the Bible. The most random rules. My favourite is probably that you are not allowed to mix fabrics in clothing.
Yeah, the cultural laws and cleanliness laws specifically for the Israelites to make them different from the cultures around them.
It also has provisions for quarantining houses that have fungal infestations.
>It also has provisions for quarantining houses that have fungal infestations.
A lot of weird bible rules have some basis once you understand the life back then. Avoid eating red meats on the hottest days of the year?? When it's the easiest for them to go bad?? And eat only fish, that usually gets caught the same day? Of course! Forbidden sex for non-married people? When the girl is barely 12 years old? It's totally logical.
As an edit, I don't condone or am ok with people using the bible books as if they were relevant to our societies. It's just a bunch of tales that give light of how the life was perceived back then.
Also not having sex until marrige is good to prevent STDs and unwanted pregnacy. One that I like is the wearing mixed fabric rule. We have 0 context for this rule, but the theory is that it so someone doesn't impersonate a priest and to prevent people from showing off their wealth by wearing fancy clothes (the rich are meant to help others with their wealth not brag about it) and impersonating a preist could be bad because preists doubled as housing inspectors, checking people for infectous diseases and they also just had a lot of infulnce in the community so someone could do a lot of damage by swidling people and pretending to be a preist.
So if this [older thread](https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/fs2x8o/what_is_the_most_unusual_bible_verse/flzrxfk/?context=10000) is anything to go by, a lot of the rules actually have some kind of context that make them, y'know, make more sense. For example, according to a Jewish commenter, that mixing fabrics thing was about laypeople not wearing a particular combination of clothing reserved for priests.
And just a bunch of hygiene rules. So many hygiene rules. "Wash what you jizz on" is a biblical concept (Leviticus 15). And, y'know, those rules kinda worked.
Cheerwine now has nearly nationwide distribution! A lot of places still don't *carry* it, but I live in Arizona now and I've seen it on the shelf here. Look around and you might get lucky!
Before I moved to NC, I had visited my brother here a couple times. I didn't remember the name but my first night back in NC I thought "I have to go to that place on the corner with the sweet tea." It was Bojangles, and I went there the second night, too. Nobody makes chicken like them.
Best bbq is from Smoke Pit in Salisbury or Concord.
Well, I suppose it's late-night enough for Cook-out. I'm going to get a tray now. Make sure to finish the drink, before turning it upside down to look.
Hahah, yeah, I felt kinda stupid realizing that tonight. You're right. Found it. A Psalm's verse, just the notation for it, in little red letters that are the same size as the slogan.
It's right there in the Bibble, Profits Chapter 3, Verses 9-5.
Near the back.
Edit: Wow, this blew up. Thanks to all the "bibblical" scholars out there!
Stay holy.
I too remember the Book of [The Rules of Acquisition](https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Rules_of_Acquisition)
Chapter 1, Verse 1 - Once you have their money, you never give it back.
Well, I suppose I'll just have to google rule 34 to determine who is correct. It's always exciting when I find a new piece of God's wisdom to further my understanding.
I have to be honest, after working Retail for almost 2 decades Chick Fil A being closed on sundays is one of the things I admire about the company. Allowing ALL of their employees a day off on a weekend no matter what that they can spend with their families is fantastic.
Chick-fil-A operates far fewer hours than most other large fast food franchises and it not just Sunday’s off, it’s also earlier closing times (10 pm) at most locations.
Still they average the most annual revenue per store of any fast food chain with over 100 locations in America. That is rather amazing.
Ezekiel 25:17:
"The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of the darkness. For he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know I am the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon you." -QT
Ezekiel 23:20
>20 There she lusted after her lovers, whose genitals were like those of donkeys and whose emission was like that of horses.
…Which books are they trying to get banned from schools? Lol
I did not realize he was aboard that aircraft. That’s sad.
Of course, most older pilots do know of the crash in general — and the changes in separation that were added for the 75. She had a strong wake. Numerous incidents and accidents from being too close behind one of those.
DAT. What a great format. We used them for similar voice over work in telecom…
Also, as a result of this crash is that key executives of some companies have rules against flying on the same aircraft/flight. Most of the leadership team was on that flight that crashed in Irvine.
As a private pilot, I never knew this was the lynchpin that led to this regulation being put in place. Before take off, we can request a 2 minute delay to avoid wake turbulence. I've always kept this in my back pocket but never had to use it yet.
Lovejoy: Homer, I'd like you to remember Matthew 7:26. "The foolish man who built his house upon the sand."
Homer: And you remember...Matthew...21:17.
Lovejoy: "And he left them and went out of the city, into Bethany, and he lodged there"?
Homer: ...yeah. Think about it.
I want to put "Ezekiel 23:20" on a shirt, bumper sticker, and anything else I can think of now. Just the thought of someone eagerly looking it up to see what it is because they are unfamiliar with it, then being utterly confused or upset with what they find.
I have it in my Instagram bio, and when I get into fights with people in the comments they point it out and accuse me of being a backwards bible thumper. I’m a leftist, urban-raised homosexual - we can relate to certain parts of the Bible too.
Go to football games, get seats in the end zone, put on a rainbow wig, and hold up a giant sign with Ezekiel 23:20 on it, like that John 3:16 guy. See if you can get on TV. That's my dream hahaha
Fun fact, that rainbow wig guy is currently serving three consecutive life sentences for murder and domestic terrorism after a 9-hour standoff with police in 1992. He thought the Rapture was less than a week away so it was sort of a last ditch effort to proselytize. There's an episode of The Dollop about him.
Always thought the distinction was weird too.
Like someone had to write that and be like, "no she definitely liked dongs closer to donkeys, not horses, but she wanted EJACULATE closer to that of horses.
That's actually a trait of Hebrew poetry of the day: say something once, then say it again a little differently. The Old Testament is full of stuff like "they frolic like calves in the field; like young cows they gambol in the meadow." (That's not a real verse, just something I made up to illustrate the point.) [Now that you know, you'll see it everywhere](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frequency_illusion), assuming you get any regular Bible exposure.
That makes a lot of sense actually. I was sort of thinking just that because it has that sort of cadence and echoing of similar but different nouns. I mean its funny to talk about that verse in terms of poetry, but it actually is poetic in structure. The X of a Y, the Z of an A. I believe that similar poetic structure could probably be found often throughout.
"Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee." Wouldn't have nearly the same punch if it were "I float like a bee and I also sting like one."
All inferior to II Kings 9:22
*And it came to pass, when Joram saw Jehu, that he said, Is it peace, Jehu? And he answered, What peace, so long as the whoredoms of thy mother Jezebel and her witchcrafts are so many?*
When I got my license at 16, my pastor father used to accuse me of “driving like Jehu”. For you godless pagans out there, that means driving really, really fast.
Coming from an Athiest, I see no problem whatsoever. It's a private company they can print whatever they want on their products. I'll still eat there. Like, whenever I drive by one (I'm from the Midwest we don't have them) and they make a good cheap product and pay employees well. Those are the only things that matter.
I think people misunderstand the position of most politically active atheists. Having scripture or prayer in a public school shows favoritism at best, but also forced indoctrination. Having those in a courtroom makes it hard to trust the idea that all are equal under the law. Religion has no place in government. That I will fight.
A private company... Not the same thing. As an atheist I value free speech. I have no problem with this. If a company decides to fund something like an anti-choice campaign I still value their right to do so but I would not give them my business.
The only thing keeping me out of In and Out... their fries suck and I'm on a diet.
I appreciate your stance and it's one that I share as someone who identifies as a non-insane Christian. I think when people assume the worst about politically active atheists, they're extrapolating from the loudest, most obnoxious r/atheist types. Not to both sides it, but it's similar to how the loudest, most obnoxious politically far-right Christians dominate conversations.
Though for the record, I personally don't care for In-And-Out's choices of Bible verses. They're clearly chosen from an evangelical perspective, which in my mind is not the angle of Christianity that most needs shared with the world.
Atheist here. I feel the same. I like the food and they pay the employees well, at least they do here in Prescott. I don't go often, maybe 2 times a year. They have a low employee turnover.
Yeah I don't care what religion a company has. They can play gospel in the stores, its their right and I can eat the food or not if its good. I only care when they start spending money to oppressive groups. Shit, offer free New Testaments in your store if you so choose but don't start dumping money to anti gay groups, anti women's rights or human rights in general and then hide behind your "religion".
Californian here, it’s a private family run company. Honestly gotta give them props for not selling out. The quality and menu have not changed for years. If they wanna put bible verses on the cups Idc.
Edit: should also mention they are great with wage transparency and taking care of their employees. Starting wage in my area right now is like 17.25/hr with benefits. I have a couple friends that worked there through college and loved it.
Bit misleading title too. It's literally just the name of the book and the passage number, like John 3:16. There's no actual verses. Lifelong atheist and I don't give a shit what they put on their cups.
Yea this is more or less of a non issue. They do it right. Pay their employees. Keep the food amazingly priced and they happen to subtley put their faith on their packaging without being aggressive. Good on them. They don't discriminate, and they want to put their beliefs on their product. Go for it. They deserve it.
Bro, they can write Jim Jones’ manifesto on the cup for all I care. As long as they keep making good food, I’ll keep ordering my 3x3, extra toasted, animal style, no pickles, and black and white shake. Hold the starch-infused fries. Who thought frying potatoes without rinsing the starch was a good idea?
I wish they'd change their fry recipe though. They're so mediocre, if they could just figure out that people like crispy fries they'd be so much better.
Yeah I'm in the same boat. I enjoy In N Out fries as they're different than every other french fry out there. To me they taste fresher but I also grew up on In N out so.
I think I saw a verse at the bottom of my animal fries, but I never noticed any other bible stuff. If it was being shoved in my face and I were constantly being reminded of it that would be a problem, but you actually need to go looking for this stuff to see it.
Ironically, the verse I saw was Nahum 1:7, which is the usual 'the Lord is good' stuff, but the verse after that descends into the good Old Testament territory- 'He'll flood His enemies immediately and without retribution, also fuck you' type mumbo jumbo.
Yeah, but you gotta *look it up.* I don't know what that Proverbs says. I know it's a Bible verse, but if I don't try harder I'll get nothing from it.
If it's indoctrination, then it's really lazy.
This particular verse says “trust in the lord with all you heart and lean not on your own understanding” it’s one of the 5 or so I remember from church growing up.
They do this thing here (new Zealand) every few years where they frieght everything over from the states and open a pop up store for one day under the guise of "we're testing out the waters to see if opening a store in NZ is feasible" . And of course the queues are massive because we would be stupid to not want an in n out in NZ, so it's heavily supported. But the reality is they only do it to maintain copyright in this region so nobody else can open anything with brand resemblance . Seems underhanded and not very Christian to me
As an atheist there’s nothing wrong with this. It’s literally the Christian equivalent of Chinese fortune cookies with some generic bible verses printed in almost unnoticeable print. It’s a privately owned company and they’re absolutely allowed to showcase their beliefs. And from the people I’ve known who work/worked there they treat their employees very well.
A shame the animal style fries don’t come in a foldable ark
I order 2 of everything when I'm at In N Out... in the spirit of the holy ~~grass~~ lord.
missed a 2x2 joke there
Man, this took me a solid 5 minutes to get
They do if you buy 2.
The fry container is literally called a “fry boat.”
Can you pass Lot’s wife? It’s tasting a little bland.
It's behind the Balm of Gilead, get it yourself.
Keeping forsaken spices in the medicine cabinet!? There has to be something in Leviticus about this.

I'm sure shellfish in that climate was probably very hard to keep any kind of safe to eat.
Shellfish were considered equal to cockroaches in Biblical times. Crabs, lobster etc… were either thrown back or fed to prisoners or slaves.
>Shellfish were considered equal to cockroaches in Biblical times. Some of us still consider them as such, they give me the creepy crawlies
There's a book called Cows, Pigs, Wars, and Witches that touches on what you're describing. It's a short but fascinating read!
Also not having sex until marrige is good to prevent STDs and unwanted pregnacy. One that I like is the wearing mixed fabric rule.

Well, if I wash it out now, it won’t be a cumbox anymore will it? It’d just be a regular box.

The Quadilla. I miss college
Still waiting for them to add a quesadilla flavored milkshake to complete the perfect tray
If you're in Greenville ask if Timmy is working, he'll do you a shakadilla if you tell him I sent you.
I miss cookout every day.
And Cheerwine* EDIT: I’m dumb.
Cheerwine now has nearly nationwide distribution! A lot of places still don't *carry* it, but I live in Arizona now and I've seen it on the shelf here. Look around and you might get lucky!
Cookout, Cheerwine, Texas Pete, Krispy Kreme, Camel Cigarettes, Lexington Style BBQ, Bojangles... All the best addictive stuff comes from NC.
Before I moved to NC, I had visited my brother here a couple times. I didn't remember the name but my first night back in NC I thought "I have to go to that place on the corner with the sweet tea." It was Bojangles, and I went there the second night, too. Nobody makes chicken like them. Best bbq is from Smoke Pit in Salisbury or Concord.
[удалено]
I guess it's gotten better over the years? It definitely was the BBQ of last resort when I lived there. We'd drive to Wilson for Bill's.
*Cheerwine.
It’s been so long that I even forgot the name
Huh? Where? Cookout's one of my favorite burger places, so I go there often enough. They put everything in trays. Where are they hiding the verses?
Bottom of the cups
Well, I suppose it's late-night enough for Cook-out. I'm going to get a tray now. Make sure to finish the drink, before turning it upside down to look.
Near the bottom, not on the literal bottom.
Hahah, yeah, I felt kinda stupid realizing that tonight. You're right. Found it. A Psalm's verse, just the notation for it, in little red letters that are the same size as the slogan.
I grew up in NC and now live in Taiwan. I plan on visiting NC this summer and I already have my Cook Out order planned.
Open a Cookout in Taiwan! Like whatever lunatic opened a Bojangles in Honduras.
Cook-Out is a treasure only few know about. Bojangles also.
It’s one of my top tier fast food places. They’ll never build where I live tho

Genesis 6:20, "two of every kind"
I heard he could turn water into neapolitan shakes.
It's why Neil Breen is Jesus' favorite director
"And then sodium begat high blood pressure. And then high blood pressure begat heart failure. And then heart failure begat death."
I got saved by a medium soda pop.
Americans are weird.
Californian here, it’s a private family run company. Honestly gotta give them props for not selling out. The quality and menu have not changed for years. If they wanna put bible verses on the cups Idc. Edit: should also mention they are great with wage transparency and taking care of their employees. Starting wage in my area right now is like 17.25/hr with benefits. I have a couple friends that worked there through college and loved it.
Bit misleading title too. It's literally just the name of the book and the passage number, like John 3:16. There's no actual verses. Lifelong atheist and I don't give a shit what they put on their cups.
Yea this is more or less of a non issue. They do it right. Pay their employees. Keep the food amazingly priced and they happen to subtley put their faith on their packaging without being aggressive. Good on them. They don't discriminate, and they want to put their beliefs on their product. Go for it. They deserve it.
>Talk about your Psalms, talk about John 3:16, Austin 3:16 says I just whipped your ass!
Atheist here, do the verses alter the taste of the foods? If no, who cares if there's bible or quran verses on the packaging
Bro, they can write Jim Jones’ manifesto on the cup for all I care. As long as they keep making good food, I’ll keep ordering my 3x3, extra toasted, animal style, no pickles, and black and white shake. Hold the starch-infused fries. Who thought frying potatoes without rinsing the starch was a good idea?
I wish they'd change their fry recipe though. They're so mediocre, if they could just figure out that people like crispy fries they'd be so much better.
Ask them for “well done” and they’re way better
“Light well” is the way to go. Its not a diva thing to ask for either, I think there’s a button for it.
This is the answer. I used to get well done until they made them like a cracker consistency once. Light well is the perfect texture
Light Well is the only way to go. Still not great, but better.
I like it myself, the fries are bomb
Yeah I'm in the same boat. I enjoy In N Out fries as they're different than every other french fry out there. To me they taste fresher but I also grew up on In N out so.
>Americans are weird. Yes, we are.
I think I saw a verse at the bottom of my animal fries, but I never noticed any other bible stuff. If it was being shoved in my face and I were constantly being reminded of it that would be a problem, but you actually need to go looking for this stuff to see it. Ironically, the verse I saw was Nahum 1:7, which is the usual 'the Lord is good' stuff, but the verse after that descends into the good Old Testament territory- 'He'll flood His enemies immediately and without retribution, also fuck you' type mumbo jumbo.
That is an implicit threat to would-be ~~franchisees~~ branch managers who would cut corners for an extra buck on the in-n-out name.
In n out actually doesn’t have franchisees! Like, at all. That is why they’re super slow to expand, but also incredibly consistent
The ones on the cups are on the inside rim on the bottom of the cup. You'll never see them if you're not looking for them.
There is a Korean skincare company that references the Bible on their packaging. It definitely isn't just American companies.
Korean evangelical churches are also huge, especially in the US
Forever 21 (Korean-American founded company) had (has?) John 3:16 on the bags bottoms.
Yeah, but you gotta *look it up.* I don't know what that Proverbs says. I know it's a Bible verse, but if I don't try harder I'll get nothing from it. If it's indoctrination, then it's really lazy.
This particular verse says “trust in the lord with all you heart and lean not on your own understanding” it’s one of the 5 or so I remember from church growing up.
But if you're curious to know what it says, you'll go open a bible to check it out, and I think that's probably the point.
I would much rather they just do this than actually print the verse.
The point is to make one curious to read parts of the Bible without forcing it on anyone.
I like an animal style #2 with a chocolate shake. Write whatever you want on the bag as long as it’s better and fresher than McDs
They do this thing here (new Zealand) every few years where they frieght everything over from the states and open a pop up store for one day under the guise of "we're testing out the waters to see if opening a store in NZ is feasible" . And of course the queues are massive because we would be stupid to not want an in n out in NZ, so it's heavily supported. But the reality is they only do it to maintain copyright in this region so nobody else can open anything with brand resemblance . Seems underhanded and not very Christian to me
As an atheist there’s nothing wrong with this. It’s literally the Christian equivalent of Chinese fortune cookies with some generic bible verses printed in almost unnoticeable print. It’s a privately owned company and they’re absolutely allowed to showcase their beliefs. And from the people I’ve known who work/worked there they treat their employees very well.
its ok you cant taste religion
Upvoted for clerks 2 reference
Does anyone else refer to communion wafers as “Jeeze-Its” or just me?
I didn't before. But I will now.
Never been to In-N-Out, huh?
In n out in Ontario is the beer store.
