dears:
And the swine, he is unclean to you. And all that have not fins and scales in the seas, and in the rivers, they shall be an abomination unto you. (Leviticus 11:7-12) (Thou shalt not eat pork, shrimp, lobster, or any shellfish.)
Thou shalt not sow thy field with mingled seed: neither shall a garment mingled of linen and woollen come upon thee. (Leviticus 19:19) (Thou shalt not wear clothes of mixed fibers.)
Every one that curseth his father or his mother shall be surely put to death. (Leviticus 20:9)
You shall not round off the side-growth of your heads nor harm the edges of your beard. (Leviticus 19:27)
If a man lies with a man as one lies with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They must be put to death. (Leviticus 20:13)
You can’t pick and choose which rules of Leviticus apply to society or do not. Either follow every rule because it is the word of God, or follow none of them because it is not. I say we just trash the whole thing. Just saying.

A man and woman stare in contemplation at a quarter moon and the woman makes a remark about the incomprehensibility of humanity’s most notable extraplanetary achievement: sending a manned mission to the moon. The male, in an irreverent gesture, attempts to make a “geek recognition joke” in which a non-sequitur line from a movie in pop culture (In this case, Obi Wan Kenobi’s (Alec Guiness) line from Star Wars Ep IV, “A New Hope”) is recited by rote. However, he is cut off by the female who counters this attempt at a humorous non-sequitur with her paraphrase from the same movie, this time emulating Darth Vader’s heavy-handed style of command. Comically, she seems even to be able to perform the “Force Choke” that was iconic to the character Darth Vader’s mystical repertoire, lifting and choking the subject with a paranormal grip and a menacing finger gesture.
CURATOR’S NOTE: Observe the female character in the dominant and socially normalized position. In an unusual twist, she also has the ability to engage in geek culture fluently but evidently prefers not to.

Agreed - xkcdexplained is The Gospel According To The Geeks. There is salvation in this world.
