3rd humble question

If my wife finds out that im about to buy a $500+ televue ethos,
she'll be pissed,
may i throw her a Timothy 2:11-12 ?

11 A woman should learn in quietness and full submission.
12 do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man; she must be silent.

and if then,
she behaves like Jael (Judges 5:24-27)

Most blessed of women is Jael,
The wife of Heber the Kenite;
Most blessed is she of women in the tent.
25"He asked for water and she gave him milk;
In a magnificent bowl she brought him curds.
26"She reached out her hand for the tent peg,
And her right hand for the workmen's hammer.
Then she struck Sisera, she smashed his head;
And she shattered and pierced his temple.
27"Between her feet he bowed, he fell, he lay;
Between her feet he bowed, he fell;
Where he bowed, there he fell dead.

she won't be blessed will she ?

Given your attentiveness and concern with her feelings, I am sure she would appreciate you throwing her a Timothy, or a Tom, or a Richard, or a Harry!

There is a simple answer. There are plenty of people here, some of whom you've already met, who don't just want to believe in supernatural gods and goddesses, but who also want to believe in the literal infallibility of a book writen by a nomadic people of the Bronze Age. And who want to apply its "teachings" and "laws" to the present day. Which is difficult even for them, which results in rationalizing, cherry-picking, and dissimilation. There is nothing more to it than that.
