It doesn’t matter, I don’t believe or live by your book. Neither does she.
But your book doss say that, you, as a believer, shouldn’t force your beliefs down somebody else’s throat by judging them.
So kindly, fuck off with this shit and let people live their lives however they want unless it impacts you. Just like I’ll do.l, but I’ll do it because I’m a descent fucking person.
On an individual basis, you can decide if you think an action is ethical or not based on if it, for instance, causes harm, and you dislike causing harm to others.
As a society, we broadly come to a consensus on what we consider ethical or not by majority opinion, and turn those into laws. It’s why murder is considered wrong, in both religious and non-religious institutions and societies at large.
For example, as a society, we deemed killing other humans to be wrong because then we would be at risk of being killed, and it made it harder for us to survive overall. Those who killed were ostracized, those who didn’t were not. No religion was required to form such a belief, but it can certainly be a part of religious teachings.
You can use the Bible as a framework for how you decide what’s moral or not, but it’s not the only way to do so.
What else is it then?
Maybe, just maybe, she doesn’t believe in that book and doesn’t want your values shoved down her throat.
Maybe she wants to be able to dress comfortably without the rules of some goat herder’s book of fairytale and moral values.
Or the right to speak without a man to speak for her.
Or to open a bank account without her husband or father being on the account too.
Or one of the other thousands of things women have had to deal with, outside of fucking sexual freedom, or still deal with thanks to this holy book.
And lastly the freedom to have sex with whatever another consenting adult or adults as she pleases without your fucking judgment.
Mathew 7:1-2
You game me a bible verse, let me give you one:
An excellent wife, who can find? For her worth is far above jewels. Proverbs 31:10

I believe you, but who decides who, and what is a decent person?
How can I tell you’re a “decent fucking person” as you say?
I’d need to judge you. I’d need some sort of moral code.
Wait! I might actually need something like the Bible!
You decide. We all decide.
