I'm not implying any particular sense. I'm simply observing that it is
impossible to, e.g., abstain from non-kosher meat and eat non-kosher meat
at the same time, or to believe that all races are equal *and* believe
that God wants us to participate in genocide, race-based slavery, and
discrimination against half-breeds as in Joshua or Ezra's day.
