I gotta tell ya, the Jews pick and choose from the Torah (old testament) quite a bit. Most of the content is viewed as stories to be interpreted, and never, EVER meant to be taken literally.
But the family I married is definitely reform. Orthodox is a whole 'nother story.
Basically, quoting a section of the bible in condemnation of it is pretty stupid in this day and age.
soooo....how about The Good Place? *nervously hoping the conversation takes a lighter tone*
