In Leviticus 15:19-23, God explains how a woman is unclean for a full week when she has her period. During this time, she must be kept separate from normal clean people. This means that she can’t sleep in a bed with her husband, she can’t sit in the family’s chairs, and nobody is allowed to touch anything that has touched her backside. If you do touch something that a woman sat on, you will be unclean until the evening and must wash your clothes and bathe in water.
So, right out of the gate, the bible has God talking utter nonsense! A woman is not dirty when on her period, and neither are the things she sits on. Unless you’re hemophobic, menses is nothing to be afraid of. Of course, if you’re a vampire, menses is to be cherished!
This superstitious paranoia the bible’s authors have with menses is rather troubling. A dash of detergent and a spray of hot water is all it takes to disinfect something that has been touched by menses, and there is absolutely no reason for a week long quarantine! This is also further evidence that the bible doesn’t understand anything about diseases.
