That's blatantly where that law came from. Before these things were understood, anything bad that happened was considered punishment from God. Even today there are those who claim this of every natural disaster, even though we know for a fact nowadays that tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, floods, and hurricanes are not supernatural events.
WTF?
It's basic observational laws. The ancient Israelites lied, it says so in the Bible. "thus saith the Lord when the Lord hath not spoken" and all that shit. (don't you atheists really read the Bible?) So what's your point?
Do you think rotating crops is a good, scientifically supported "law"?
Do you like the idea of a no-interest loan?
Did you know that if an Israelite was in a foreign country that they were to eat what was offered to them out of respect?
Hate what you like, but at least be informed about it. It just shows a lack of knowledge.
