Sodomy Punish’d and its subsequent variations fed the burgeoning literary genre of castaway narratives or “Robinsonades”. (Indeed, some historians speculate that the many similarities between Sodomy Punish’d and Robinson Crusoe were knowingly inserted by publishers to increase sales.) As Joseph Bristow writes in *Empire Boys&, hit literary form fashioned its young male reader into a “responsible citizen … with the future of the world lying on his shoulders.” Here the message is prohibitory: adhere to the sexual norms of empire - at least, do not get caught deviating - or you may end up on an island, alone.

@somebody tbh I think a lot of reddit atheists came from very conservative Christian backgrounds but haven't deconstructed how their upbringing has shaped the assumptions they make about virtually every other religious tradition. they still think all religions are basically reskinned versions of whatever abusive system they grew up with, with the possible exception of trying to twist Buddhism into a mere "secular mindfulness philosophy"

I come from a Jewish background and even the most Orthodox Jews I know have more thoughtful and complex interpretations of the Bible than anything an enlightened reddit atheist has ever said to me

and although I never got deeply interested in being observant myself, I think if you live in the US like I do then some degree of biblical literacy and understanding multiple perspectives on the Bible is important to comprehend politics better
