Incest was a proud family tradition, among abraham's clan. Abraham did it also. Half sister, not quite as intense as doing it w a daughter. Still, it seems like a proud tradition among the patriarchs to marry in the same blood. Outsiders were just not good enough. This is divinely institutionalised and sanctioned racism. Maybe it was an ancient tradition among those deluded by their own glory, as the ruling classes of egypt were marrying their siblings.

The Israelites were not the sophisticated, clean upperclass people they depict themselves to be.
They were nomadic, tent dwelling goat farmers, who played banjo's with no front teeth while, uncle Clem was behind the shed making one of the relatives winny like a pig.
In all honesty......as a dub, I could never figure out their behavior and Jehovah putting up with it.
Concubines I have NEVER understood. Why did god allow it? The same god who made all the moral laws allows you to sleep and impregnate someone else............so you can have children. How nice for the kids to be illedgitament like Ishmael was.
Why did god also make " a concession" to divorce your wife because the people were "hardhearted?". God doesn't drop his moral wire so the weak can step over it.......He isn't suppose to change.

Why do you guys put any stock in these myths and legends anyway? lol The god described therein is no way consistent and no way moral.

Probably for all the reasons you and I did for years and years.

That story is full of bullshit.
According to the Bible, one daughter lay with him one night and the next daughter lay with him the next night.
And they both got pregnant.
Reasons why this story is pure unadulterated Bull-SHIT
Me no think so.

Genesis 20 SUCKS Class
OH, I forgot to add.
Theoretically, they were both virgins. And yet, they somehow knew what they were doing enough to get pregnant. And wanted to lose thier virginity to dear old DAD?!?!?
This story makes me angry and disgusted all at the same time.

More to the scriptural beliefs of biblical racists:
Racist church leaders say that the Jewish nation has not fullfilled prophecy that the white nations, especially America and Britain, have fullfilled. Such as:
The Israel nation shall become secure. 2 Samuel 7 v 1. The Israel nation shall be safe on every side. 2 Samuel 7 v 10. Israel shall possess the earth. Psalm 2 v 8.
Heres a good one. Deutronomy 15 v 6 " You will rule over many nations, but they will not rule over you" .
God speaking of Israel there. A Biblical racist would say, "When did the jews rule over many nations" ? and claim that only European culture has achieved this. So this is why they believe that America and England are the foremost tribes of Israel. Of course, theres a lot of pick and choose in the choice of scriptures they use to support their arguements. Not unlike the dubs really.
Many thanks for your expression of interest. And always remember, you can better fight an enemy if you understand his thinking.
RF,
So did you feel the opening article of this thread was from a bablical racist, or am I off as usual?
Gum.
I didnt think you were a biblical racist. Its just I spent 3 years studying and mixing with them. They were pretty fascinating people, so I have this impulse to talk about them and expound my knowledge.
