Searched for "sexual exploration". One of the results i got returned was from corinthians and read: The wife doesn’t have authority over her own body, but the husband does. Likewise also the husband doesn’t have authority over his own body, but the wife does. I'm so glad this religion of peace sees consent as profoundly unimportant

You could make the case I've just been indoctrinated in this stuff (genuine believer) but I take that to be a profoundly progressive verse given the context Paul is writing. Notice the symmetry.

Not super impressed with this considering you can get better results in seconds from any basic LLM workflow.

I wanted to know it was only returning source. My suspicions always go up when I have the LLM lean on its "deep memories". too much fluff, inconsistent translations, stuff like that.

RAG, for those unfamiliar, retrievel-augmented generation: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retrieval-augmented_generation >

The Bible, for those unfamiliar, it’s the civilization source code forked and maintained by the Jesus cult that emerged about 2 millennia ago. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bible (To put it in Hacker terms, where I suspect RAG could be a more familiar term than Bible)

shots fired!

I do notice the symmetry. It is saying that each of them can use the others body as they like, without regard for the other. But that's fine, because they can do it right back.

A progressive system is not built off "I'll do what I want to you but I also will let you do it back". That conveniently ignores that there is still an entirely non-consenting party in this.

Your body belongs to you. Your partners body belongs to them. And religious institutions teaching the opposite of this is what has lead to decades of marital rape and entitlement. I call that very very far from a progressive system
