It's not the first time. They retconned Jesus a lot to sell Christianity to the Vikings for example. They don't care about the message, they care about control.

@nat I areligious, but I feel no one should feel forced out of their faith by others in their faith who cherry pick parts of the bible or other religious books.
I follow biblical scholar Dan McClennan on YouTube and his videos are always informative and thought-provoking.
He's not yet on Mastodon, but maybe he'll make his way over here.
This post is a great discussion on the bible's 'sexual ethics'.
