Because I never thought I really understood the bible, I just took the standard LDS interpretation. Then everything fell apart and I have not gone back. Maybe it's time to read it in textual context BRB

I also took the standard interpretation. In reality, I was always thrown by the amount of crazy in the Bible (it helped support my shelf when I’d think about the amount of crazy in Mormonism). Moving past it, I have no thoughts on this one.

Mmm, I found out there is a holy Monday in the Armenian Orthodox Church. Tho some reading and interpretation (there are some lousy biblical resources out there) it really is just a prepper tale. As far as the virgins, they play no role in the morality of the bridegroom. Just the oil prep matters
