How Do We know God *Didn't* Incite Incest? |
http://www.cnn.com/2007/US/07/12/polygamy.charges/index.html
"Polygamist sect leader Warren Steed Jeffs, who is awaiting trial in
southern Utah, was charged with eight additional felony counts from
Arizona in two separate cases, authorities said Thursday. Polygamist
Warren Jeffs is facing eight additional counts related to alleged
incest and sexual contact with a minor. A grand jury indicted Jeffs
May 10 on two counts of sexual conduct with a minor and two counts of
incest..."
Now how do we know that some god *didn't* require him to do this?
There are precedents:
"And it came to pass on the morrow, that the firstborn said unto the
younger, Behold, I lay last night with my father: let us make him
drink wine this night also; and go thou in,and lie with him, that we
may preserve seed of our father." (Gen 19:34)
"...Ye shall utterly destroy every male, and every woman that hath
lain by man. And they found among the inhabitants of Jabesh-gilead
four hundred young virgins, that had known no man by lying with any
male: and they brought them unto the camp to Shiloh, which is in the
land of Canaan. " (Jud 21: 11-12)
So this god has no morality, nor any compunction about requesting or
insisting that others abandon their morals. He doesn't care about
incest or about the kidnapping and raping of young virgins. If this
guy Warren Steed Jeffs were to insist that his god told him to do the
things he has apparently done, where is the basis for disbelief?
If you disbelief Jeffs, then you must logically disbelieve the Bible.
If you believe the Bible, you must believe Jeffs.
That's what kind of a screwed up life you have to lead if you think
the Bible is true.
