Oddly, the same people don't complain about Mary's age when she was married to Joseph
and iirc the bible has an entire story just to rationalize Lot fucking his daughters
Bring back the reddit atheists. Christianity has been a protected identity from ridicule on the internet for far too long.
Sorry, but they're too busy calling arabs animals
And, weirdly enough, LARPing as Catholics now?
Lol yeah
that's actually a 7th century bce geopolitical taunt directed at the moabites and ammonites (the descendants of lot's grandchildren)
that's sincerely interesting, can you give me any more @context
of course, @miz!
the book of genesis, like many books in the bible, is a work of composite authorship. several authors contributed over a few centuries from the 9th through 5th centuries bce during the existence of the old kingdom judah and its conquest by the babylonian empire. prior to the babylonian exile, the kingdoms of moab and ammon in present-day kingdom of jordan were natural rivals to the authors in judah. they're mentioned elsewhere in the bible, i think as allies of assyria and/or babylon if i recall. so implying that they were all the product of drunken incest was propaganda ultimately in support of the kingdom of judah and its political goals.
EDIT: thanks
Or any of the many examples from the old testament
