Why not? The bible is supposed to be god's word, and god's laws. It is not supposed to be the law of an ancient culture of uncivilised brutes (even though it blatantly is just that).
Point being, god's morality should be the same now as it was then, our morality has certainly evolved from those days.
If you are saying "that was how it was then, things are different now" then you are accepting that the bible was made up by us in those times.
Quote:completely not true. incest is clearly defigned as wrong in the bible no matter who makes the first move.
It isn't.
Lot is not chastised in the bible for pumping his daughters, excuses are merely made for his behaviour. It clearly makes his case out to be of "it's alright because he'd had a drink and his daughters started it". Nowhere does it say that Lot was wrong to allow it to happen.
You are currently experiencing a lucky and very brief window of awareness, sandwiched in between two periods of timeless and utter nothingness. So why not make the most of it, and stop wasting your life away trying to convince other people that there is something else? The reality is obvious.
