    It seems to say you would be unclean to touch a dead animal. That means you need to take a bath and wait until evening to be clean again. No harm, no foul.

    And Christians can always pull out their get out of jail card, “Jesus fulfilled the law so OT rules don’t apply.”

    So I think only true Christians could morally have sex with a dead deer.

      I think this is before the invention of soap, so being ritually unclean meant that other people aren’t allowed to touch you for a certain number of days (and then you need to offer a sacrifice in the temple or something), or in some cases like touching a leper, the priest has to examine you at the end of the unclean period to declare you clean.
