I'm finally reading the Bible. I am up to the Joseph part in Genesis. I'm not really finding a whole lot I didn't already know so far but there is one thing that stands which I do not think should be ignored. There is a whole lot of sister-fucking going on! It isn't until the Jacob (Isreal) part that someone starts fucking women as distant as first cousin!

I wonder what the fundies think about it. They seem to take everything else in Genesis literally. I wonder if they think it is OK to fuck their sisters and cousins? Maybe I should e-mail Ken Hamm and ask him.

Thoughts?

By today's moral standards, the OT is a mess. But remember, those passages were screeved by humans, some of whom probably thought that keeping the nooky in the family was much better and safer than inviting in unreliable strangers. After all, who knew where they'd been?

Recently an academic decided to catalogue all of the paraphilia in the bible. Lets just say there is a lot.

I dunno, my sisters are pretty damned good looking but there is no way I could bring myself to do them.

Yuck.

Ebone.....

Great ammunition for Fundie ambush encounters or relaxed conversation with your crazy brother-in-law.

If you are really interested in supporting Incest Begins at Home, Ecstasy is probably the best drug of choice. There are several others that work selectively - different 'Ludes for different Dudes, you know.

As you might suspect, there is a national society and brotherhood (sisterhood?) of folks with odd carnal desires. If you would like further information, I would be glad to send it to you.

I think he'll quickly point out that there are other people that were created after Adam and Eve from which to marry. Specifically, Cain has to go to the land of Nod to get a wife after killing his brother.

There were other people not in Eden from which to marry. While some assume that there are none and refer to the incestuous relationships (of which there are plenty in the document) there are statements in Genesis which indicate that there are other created beings not being the issue of Adam and Eve.

The portion that may be of interest is Genesis 4:12-17.

And a Wiccan is correcting Bible reading. How messed up is that?

Genesis 3:20 clearly says that Eve "would become the mother of all the living." A plain reading thus indicates that all the female inhabitants of the Land of Nod were either sisters or nieces of Cain.

Aha, but what if some other women contemporary with Eve at some point no longer had any descendants? E.g. what if all people now living all had Eve (and not Clarabelle, Emily, Deidre etc) as their common ancestor?

Don't forget Adam's first wife, Lilith.

They have no problem with early incest in the bible whatsoever.

Yep. "Absolute morality" for you.

What brought that on? this. Original posting here.

Really, it's all moot. I have two parents, four grandparents, eight great-grandparents, etc. So even assuming no direct incest among my ancestors, there would be more of them just 29 generations ago than there were humans alive on Earth. Thus, we're all necessarily related, and except for people from isolated (and thus much more inbred) populations, can't be more than about 29th cousins from one another. Since 29 generations is only about 725 years, there were necessarily 5,275 years of even more-direct inbreeding going on since Adam and Eve, since the world population was much smaller long ago.

In other words, the idea that two people with the same last name might be of "no relation" is absurd. Everyone is related to everyone else, and we just arbitrarily choose some distance between relatives to say that we're not related or that sex isn't incest. In still other words, if Adam and Eve were created people, and the people of the Land of Nod were created separately, then they might not have been committing incest, but we all are now, with mathematical certainty.

On the other hand, Adam and Eve were necessarily clones with a chromosome tweak (male to female). And a question that has plagued philosophers for centuries decades is this: if you have sex with your clone, is it incest or just masturbation? Either way, it doesn't look good for the Biblical pair.

Perhaps the Bible is using it in the context of Saddam Husain’s "mother of all battles." That didn't work out too well for him, as I recall.
