You'd be surprised how a lot of the crazy stuff that goes on in the Old Testament can be justified by basically good morals found in ancient Hebrew culture.

Thank FSM we do - I wouldn't want to interpret the Bible based on any ancient culture that thought slavery was good and women had to be sequestered and rape was just dandy. We might go back to thinking those things were great!
The problem with religion is it keeps holding on to ancient books and premises that society has evolved so far past that it makes you people laughable.
