While the Book of Genesis usually gets the reputation for having the most "adult" storylines in the Bible, Exodus definitely has a few sections that skip past PG content into PG-13 or R-rated territory, depending on how literally you read the text. The main "naughty bits" usually point to two specific areas: 1. The Golden Calf Party (Exodus 32:6)When Moses is up on the mountain too long, the people get restless, build a golden calf, and throw a massive party. The text says: "The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play." In modern English, "play" sounds innocent, but the original Hebrew word used here (letsacheq) is a heavy euphemism. Biblical scholars and translators generally agree it implies wild, unrestrained, and explicitly sexual revelry&#x2014;essentially a pagan fertility orgy. Later in the same chapter, Moses comes down and describes the people as "naked" or "running wild." 2. The Explicit Legal Codes (Exodus 22)When the book transitions into the specific civil laws for the ancient Israelites, it doesn't mince words. Chapter 22 contains blunt, direct legal prohibitions regarding sexual behavior that most parents wouldn't expect in a fifth-grade textbook: Exodus 22:16-17: Lays out the financial and marital penalties if a man seduces a virgin who is not betrothed. Exodus 22:19: Explicitly outlaws bestiality, stating plainly that anyone who has sexual relations with an animal must be put to death. The R-Rated ViolenceIf you expand "naughty" to include graphic violence, the book is full of it. Beyond the obvious horrors of the Ten Plagues (like rivers turning to blood and the death of every firstborn child), the book opens with Moses committing a targeted homicide, killing an Egyptian taskmaster and burying his body in the sand to cover it up (Exodus 2:12). Because of these passages, the Texas curriculum creators will likely have to be highly selective about which exact verses fifth-graders are assigned to read.</description><pubDate>Mon, 29 Jun 2026 09:29:38 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>russia runs out of gasoline</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1397554-russia-runs-out-of-gasoline/?do=findComment&comment=20575246]]></link><description>It looks like the old lefties hate you</description><pubDate>Mon, 29 Jun 2026 09:28:57 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Aussie Faces Murder Charges in Pattaya</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1397691-aussie-faces-murder-charges-in-pattaya/?do=findComment&comment=20575245]]></link><description>So she was killed over an argument over 500 Baht.

It stated that she arrived days before. But whether she was a working girl is neither here nor there. With all those tattoos, she was hardly going to be a total innocent even before her arrival.

So, The 85kW image was on the charger, I assume it must be the power delivered to the car? Do you remember the kW rating on the car dashboard? it should take a full 88kw, given you were driving on highway prior to charging, it is like it was spending 2-3kW on cooling.  When my BYD is hot, but not hot enough to throttle down, the Atto 3 seems to take a full 3-4 kW for cooling, the DC charger reports 88kW, and Atto 3 says 83kW. only when cool, I see 85-88kW. super hot days, I get only 46kW-32kW depending on SOC.  My atto3 might still carry a coolant leak somewhere, unless the car came from Factory with reduce coolant. it went from 1100gr to 500gr as the engineer said. since it has a lifetime battery warranty now, I'm not so keen to sell it, unless someone gives it a decent price.</description><pubDate>Mon, 29 Jun 2026 09:19:22 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Prosecutor Held in Contempt in Charlie Kirk Murder Case</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1397650-prosecutor-held-in-contempt-in-charlie-kirk-murder-case/?do=findComment&comment=20575229]]></link><description>I do hope they catch Kirk&#x2019;s killer.</description><pubDate>Mon, 29 Jun 2026 09:18:07 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Are You A Soy Boy?</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1397549-are-you-a-soy-boy/?do=findComment&comment=20575228]]></link><description>Excuse my ignorance.

Remember you're going to get an under consideration stamp which is the same size as an extension (about half a page) and then you'll get the extension stamp (another half a page) and if you need a reentry permit it's going to take up more room. They usually can get inside ways so it only takes half a page.</description><pubDate>Mon, 29 Jun 2026 09:15:57 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Do you consider yourself an immigrant in Thailand?</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1397679-do-you-consider-yourself-an-immigrant-in-thailand/?do=findComment&comment=20575225]]></link><description>Walking 500m is tiring to some</description><pubDate>Mon, 29 Jun 2026 09:15:50 +0000</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
