>>16850514We can be confident that Paul was connected with this tradition of castration because of his famous statement:
>It is better to marry than to burnSome translations add the qualification "with passion" but this is purely a product of the imagination since it cannot be found in the original Greek manuscripts. With the context I have provided so far, Paul's meaning is finally restored:
>It is better to marry than be literally burned by a castration procedure (as the Valesians would later do).He's implying that the castration procedure is a reliable method to prevent lust and "sin" if one is not married. He's clearly grooming vulnerable single men into self-mutilation if for some reason they can't easily get married. Otherwise, why suggest the obvious alternative to marriage is castration? This is almost exactly the same behavior of a discord tranny groomer preying upon lonely incels.
