If you ever start reading the bible (no matter if you believe in it or not), these excerpts aren't a bad idea to keep in mind because it's always good to research what influenced humanity

Anyway, here is the relevant bit:

>But Moses taught that the worship of God was not to be maintained on such earnings. "Thou shalt not bring the hire of a whore, or the price of a dog, into the house of the Lord thy God for any vow: for even both of these are abomination unto the Lord thy God." (Deuteronomy 23:18)

>The Talmud, citing Deuteronomy 23:19, makes this out of the ruling: "There is not adultery in connection with an animal, because it is written, 'Thou shalt not bring the hire of a harlot or the wages of a dog,' etc., and it has been taught: 'The hire of a dog and the wages of a harlot' are permissible, as it is said, 'Even both of these are an abomination unto the Lord' —the two [specified in the text are abominations] but not four."

If you thought law was needlessly confusing, just take a look at this.

Sheesh I went even further and

>Under Talmudic "law" other forms of murder are also permissible:

  • Binding up your neighbor so that he dies of starvation. Just bind up the neighbor before it is hot or cold enough to kill him and all is well — you are guiltless of what follows. (See Exhibit 85)

  • Binding up your neighbor so that he dies of sunstroke. (See Exhibit 85)

  • Binding up your neighbor so that he dies of cold. (See Exhibit 85)

  • Binding up your neighbor so that a lion may kill him. (See Exhibit 85) He could not have fought the lion anyway, so, it is acceptable, says the Talmud.

  • Letting mosquitoes bite your neighbor to death. As for the mosquitoes, they come and go, so, since the ones which bit him when you tied the victim go away and others end his life, you are pure and blameless. (See Exhibit 85)

  • Throwing your neighbor into a pit and leaving him to die there. (See Exhibit 86)

  • Killing your neighbor with arrow wounds. (See Exhibit 86) Shooting the neighbor with an arrow is acceptable, since if there is balsam for sale somewhere, he presumably could have sent for some and thus have been cured instead of dying. (See Exhibit 86)

the last one reads like a video game meme

Its like playingwith God and/or morality in general.
