    I actually don’t think the bible has a compelling stance on this subject. The only relevant things the bible had to say that I can think of are that sex is restricted to marriage and the stuff about not spilling seed. So… the reason a Christian couldn’t have sex with roadkill is because they aren’t married to it or because it can’t get pregnant? That’s a pretty weak argument.

    Leviticus 18:23: “You must not have sexual relations with any animal, defiling yourself with it; a woman must not present herself to an animal to mate with it; that is a perversion.”

    To be clear, I’m an atheist and I don’t fuck roadkill. But I do think this covers it from a biblical standpoint – I don’t think it makes any exception for dead animals.

    Then again, this comes from some of the same passages that contain things modern Christians routinely ignore like “don’t eat pork and shellfish” and “don’t wear mixed fabrics”. If they can ignore those rules, why not the animal-fucking rule as well?

      Oh wow sure enough. Huh. Well nice job leviticus. Then the only question is if that applies to dead animals, too, but I’d think it’s safe to assume it does. And if the “new covenant” means Christians can ignore that part or not.
