Greetings from Genesis.

Abraham was dumb enough to go to Egypt in the first place, and then he lied about his relationship to his wife in order to save his own skin. I guess one way Christians (such as Drich) try to rationalize this behavior is that since Moses hasn't established the law yet, lying wasn't yet considered to be a sin. Of course, this directly contradicts the biblical idea that Jahweh is an unchanging god. Indeed, these stories read much like the words in Tolkien's the Silmarillion, thus, fiction on a mythical scale.
