When I look at the artical, I thought only one thing: Only in Japan
"Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by the rulers as useful" - Edward Gibbon (Offen misattributed to Lucius Annaeus Seneca or Seneca the Younger) (Thanks to apophenia for the correction)
'I am driven by two main philosophies:
Know more about the world than I knew yesterday and lessen the suffering of others. You'd be surprised how far that gets you' - Neil deGrasse Tyson
"Sometimes I wonder whether the world is being run by smart people who are putting us on or by imbeciles who really mean it." - Mark Twain

So... to reiterate my question.
Where did Cain find his wife?

So you know God's thoughts now? Do you often claim to know the thoughts of a character you don't believe in?

It doesn't state where. There are non-canonical documents that state he married his sister though.
Now, to re-iterate my question. Why would you think there was only 3 ppl alive at that time?

Thoughts tend to dictate actions. According to the Bible God destroyed the town of Soddom. Now call me old fashioned but that would tend to indicate that he wanted to do that... unless of course you're saying Gods basically a bumbling, inept, celestial toddler with no self-control.
If not I think you should stop sidetracking and answer the question.
Why would God destroy an entire town and some poor bastards wife then not long after allow said bastard that God got out of town to be boozed up and raped by his own daughters?
Take your time. :-)

I don't claim to know the thoughts or motivations behind the characters in the Bible, only what's written in there. If you rephrased the question to address how I'd handle it, then I could answer.
I can answer as to why Sodom was supposedly destroyed, can you?

If only we had the powers to know exactly how you interpret the things you read.. What you just said is incredibly stupid and renders all conversations pointless. I guess you could go sit in the corner and talk to yourself..

So, God works in mysterious ways basically? Right? Personal and unique my ass. Let me phrase it a different way. Given the unlikely nature of the events and the only record of these events is in The Bible, a text riddled with equally unlikely and unproven events, what makes you think they happened at all? Maybe someone... I dunno... made it up? Maybe as a means to control people afraid of their own mortality? Just spitballing here. :-)
Yep, I can answer why he destroyed Soddom. You're talking to an ex-catholic, I've read the Bible cover to cover.
Can't answer why he didn't choose to get the little kids out first though. If you read it no thought of any children in Soddom is even brought up. Either there weren't any, unlikely... or he didn't care. Can't really imagine children being that evil, can you? I mean, can you really imagine seeing children, infants, babies and going "Yep, evil. Time to burn Soddom I guess." I don't think you can.

I would like to hear your answer so that I may attempt to prove to you that either you haven't read the Bible cover-to-cover, or you were misled into believing the lie.
P.S., Catholics aren't Christian, they have their roots in paganism.

Why should any modern person question God? He was oh so clear in his book. No ambiguity there. The Bible is the literal word of G, oh wait, no sorry....The Bible is the divinely inspired word of G, oh wait, no sorry... The Bible is the inspired, but modified word of God but still true, oh wait, no sorry,...the Bible is the somewhat fucking word of God but we're not really sure because of all the manipulation and various languages that nobody can really be sure what it means....oh, but wait, we'll tell you what it means so you can do what I say and if you don't do what I say you will go to hell!!!!!!! How do you know? God said so and you must come to church every Sunday and give me ten percent gross (not net, otherwise you are stealing from God) of what you make. Why? Don't ask why stupid, otherwise you don't get to spend an eternity praising me, I meant god. Oh, by the way, when you get there...nevermind the fucks on their knees....those are the catholics. Also, no need to put your palm straight up to praise HIM, you're in heaven so all you have to do since he's only a little taller at that point is to mimic the Sieg Heil salute and your subservience will be duly noted.
