I would love to see the Bible’s analysis concluding that going to the bathroom is a sin.

    Deuteronomy 23:12-14

    12 Designate a place outside the camp where you can go to relieve yourself.
13 As part of your equipment have something to dig with, and when you relieve yourself, dig a hole and cover up your excrement.
14 For the LORD your God moves about in your camp to protect you and to deliver your enemies to you. Your camp must be holy, so that he will not see among you anything indecent and turn away from you.

    Only thing that's relevant, and it only a sin if you don't cover it after.

    Half of the old testament just feels like health codes. This is make sure to not poop where you live. Other stuff is don't eat foods that will make you sick.

    Yep. There's also a lot of rules about farming. If you accidentally drop some of the harvest while you're farming, you have to leave it there so that the poor can take it (there's also a command to care for the poor directly). Also, you have to skip farming altogether once every seven years to let the land rest, which seems like a basic form of crop rotation.

    It's from Mark 7:18-20

    18 And he said to them, “Then are you also without understanding? Do you not see that whatever goes into a person from outside cannot defile him, 19 since it enters not his heart but his stomach, and is expelled?”[a] (Thus he declared all foods clean.) 20 And he said, “What comes out of a person is what defiles him.

    Isn't the whole point of Christianity that Jesus died for your sins, so by that logic Jesus died so you could have a divorce

    Is this based on something real?

    I was hoping for a sine rule post. sin(a)/A = sin(b)/B = sin(c)/C
