I love the argument that it’s about the love between god and his followers. Like, nothing against horny deities even ones who fuck their followers, but this interpretation sure does make it sound like the god who demands chastity really wants to fuck you.
It's really contrived, too. This argument comes from people who will tell you that you have to use the whole Bible and not read between the lines. Then they have to struggle to find a reason for Song of Solomon to be there when it's been considered canon for thousands of years.
Can't just use the straightforward conclusion that Solomon was horny.
The man was fucking 1000+ women according to kings. Lol at the idea they need to hide it
Was that the one about them two daughters? I feel so bad for that father. Like couldn't they have found literally anyone else?!
No it's an erotic poem actually. Has lines like "her breasts are like twin gazelles".
Help me out here, I'm having trouble picturing this. Like... a pair of complete, full-size gazelles? Just fastened to the woman's torso? If not, which parts?
I found it!
That's the quote yeah.
That was Lot fleeing Sodom or Gomorrah or some shit. I mean, if I thought the world was ending and the only person around was my dad, and I was female, goodbye human race okay.
For real, humanity just deservers to die at that point I would figure.
That Song of Solomon is some horny shit.

Nice, I'll save that line for my girl 😎
Edit: She didn't get it.
Here is the text. It's actually quite pretty. You don't have to be religious to enjoy it. https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Song%20of%20Solomon%201&version=ESV
