While Jewish Noahide Law from the Talmud seeks to regulate
the lives of non-Jews, the Talmud also often describes non-Jews in animals
terms, do we really want this book being the basis of our legal system?
SEX WITH GENTILES (NON-JEWS) IS LIKE SEX WITH DONKEYS
R. Shila administered lashes to a man who had intercourse
with an Egyptian (Gentile) [14] woman. The man went and
informed against him to the Government, saying: There is a man among the Jews
who passes judgment without the permission of the Government. An official was
sent to [summon] him. When he came he was asked: Why did you flog that man? He
replied: Because he had intercourse with a she-ass. They said to him: Have
you witnesses? He replied: I have. Elijah thereupon came in the form of a man
and gave evidence. They said to him: If that is the case he ought to be put to
death! – Babylonian
Talmud, Berakoth 58a
FOOTNOTE 14: Var. lec. Gentile.
Rab Judah said: It is forbidden to recite the Shema’ in
face of a naked heathen. Why do you say a heathen? The same applies even to an
Israelite! — In the case of an Israelite there is no question to him that it is
forbidden, but this had to be stated in the case of a heathen. For you might
have thought that since Scripture says of them, Whose flesh is as the flesh of
asses and whose issue is as the issue of horses, therefore he is just
like a mere ass- Babylonian
Talmud, Berakoth 25b
CANAANITE BONDWOMEN (NON-JEWISH SLAVES) ARE LIKE ASSES
“Even a Canaanite bondwoman who [lives] in the Land of
Israel is assured of a place in the world to come, [for in the context] here it
is written, unto the people upon it, and elsewhere it is written, Abide ye here
with the ass [which may be rendered] people that are like an ass’.[78]″
- Babylonian
Talmud, Kethuboth 111a
FOOTNOTE 78: Sc. slaves who are
considered the property of the master
