Why all the drama? Is this god of Abraham of all three Jerry Springer? Is he the host of WWE pro wrestling? Sorry, but if you find morality in this story I feel sorry for you.
Maybe you should consider that Islam is simply a spin off of Christianity, and Christianity is a spin off of Hebrew, and even Hebrew is simply a spin off of Canaanite polytheism. Maybe you need to consider all three are merely inventions of competing humans.
The reason you don't rape is because it is harming another human being. The reason you don't hoard wealth is because it creates economic instability for the rest of society. You don't need the Koran or Bible or OT or Vedas or Buddha to figure out hurting other human beings, physically or economically is bad.
It's not my topic, Brian. I don't care currently if Islam was a cheap ripoff from Christianity : my context has "Sodom" on its name label.
Our brains are plastic. Our sexuality is formed by experience; please don't tell me you still believe our heads are static ?
When a society strips you of your sexual dreams and forces a certain scenario on you (which isn't natural), that is just plain evil.
Our sexual fetishes also grow from experience.
Raiding caravans, and creampying travelers by force is wrong. When you live in a society like Sodom's, you'll understand : that lifestyle make you gay. Plain and simple. They convert others by fore into being gays.
It's practiced in Saudi Arabia btw; the society there is just like Sodom.
I hope you are not missing my point here. Human excesses and or the good or bad we do to each other do not need old books of myth to understand and or manage better. Those comic book explanations actually serve to act as a blindfold to problem solving.
