It literally is, jackass. I guess you only care about the parts of the bible that suit you:

https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Numbers+5%3A11-31&version=WEB

27 When he has made her drink the water, then it shall happen, if she is defiled and has committed a trespass against her husband, that the water that causes the curse will enter into her and become bitter, and her body will swell, and her thigh will fall away; and the woman will be a curse among her people. 28 If the woman isn’t defiled, but is clean; then she shall be free, and shall conceive offspring.

This all happens is a man feels insecure about his wife, whether or not she actually did anything wrong. And since magic isn't real, many innocent women were likely put through this ordeal and thought to be cursed, similar to the witch trials.

Fuck your death cult.

God is real, and if the women aforementioned were innocent, nothing would happen

Wrong. The poison does not magically know who is guilty and who is not.

God does not exist. Innocent women were poisoned because their husbands were insecure.

You take the assumption that God does not exist and you cling to it on all of your arguments.

[–] SnoopSqueak@lemmy.today 1 points 1 month ago

It's not an assumption, it's the most reasonable conclusion given all available evidence.

Hey fuckface: Innocent people are dying because you are insecure.
