I skim over parts where lineage is just being doled out. So far it's not as bad as I thought it was. I know most of these stories as it was told to me in religion class and in church and reading it myself without the teacher telling me what I should I think about these stories I realize how horrorific these stories are.
Haha, this is one of my all-time favorite bible stories!
Such a cruel monster to level Sodom and Gomorrah, killing every man, woman and child therein, sparing only Lot and his family; on one seemingly simple condition, that is. [(sucks for Lot's wife!)]
But never fear Lot, you still have a couple of daughters
I hope you are enjoying the fantastic book of Genesis, as it is one of the most exciting! (I believe God gets most of his kills in this book)
