Yet the book in question doesn't take a stance on abortion. As I already said yesterday, the fetus was considered water or a limb of it's mother. Apart from the rather frequent passages about killing infants and every woman having known men. If a men suspected one of his wives (can't be stressed enough that there were usually several) cheated on him, he could bring her before a priest, who then forced an abortion with mud potion. So babie's life wasn't as precious as todays christians make it out to be.
Same goes for same sex relationships. Only men are mentioned. For the simple reason that women were property.
So tell me again about the wisdom of that old book and why our morality is ultimately wanting compared to that archaic nonsense.
