Did you know some people used to use the Bible to support slavery? They would tell slaves that it was God’s will. Want to guess who those people were? Huge surprise: slave owners. It can be terrifying to have someone throw the book—the literal Bible—at you. But you know the saying “Where there’s smoke, there’s fire?” Well, in this case, “Where there’s confusion, there’s crap.” The kind of crap people throw out when they’re desperate to keep you under their thumb. Instead of cowering in the face of their accusations and “biblical” nonsense, you can do a little math. This episode does some figuring: - The crappy calculation abusers use (they have an investment in saying dumb things) - The inverse result of reading 1 Corinthians 6:1-10 for what it really means - The addition by subtraction you experience when you wake up to abuse (the more you learn, the more you lose…at first) - The typical transactions of abusive relationships: You make constant deposits; they’re making constant withdrawals - The order of operation: You confront, they deny. Then they turn you into a goat (don’t worry, I’ll explain) - The tangent I go off on: My own story follows the same line graph…and it’s why I can understand what you’re going through.
