Paradox #1

The contradiction or conflict could arise from the fact that ancient cleanliness and purity laws, like the one in Leviticus 15:3, may seem outdated or irrelevant in modern times. These laws might conflict with contemporary views on personal health, hygiene, and bodily functions, where judgment or moral value isn't typically assigned to natural bodily processes.
