Deuteronomy 23:2

[Tripwire]

Or that he's nonexistent.

Some of Yahweh's best people have done worse than be born out of wedlock, though. I guess it was just supposed to be a warning against people having sex with just anybody, but the way they put it just keeps making their deity out of be a bad person.

if a cop shots someone does that make him a 'bad person?'

much like the whole Egypt thing, where they say Yahweh hardened the pharaoh's heart without even thinking that the act of removing his free will puts all the death that comes afterwards solely at the feet of Yahweh. Making him totally responsible for killing infants and toddlers just to prove a point.

free will as you understand it is a Greek philosophy and not a biblical truth. Through out the bible we are told we are slaves. Pharaoh was not a free man. Whether he liked it or not he fell under the authority of God. God per Moses issued his servant/slave pharaoh a command. Pharaoh before his heart was hardened to God and Moses off. When dealing with Bronze Age goat hearders one has to exert a show of force from time to time to get them to fall in line. Even the ones whole like to stack stones.

They really needed to think these things through better if they wanted to portray Yahweh as ultimately loving, merciful, and just.

At that time that was not the goal. At that time the Goal was to eastablish God's absolute ness His strength and authority. Love mercy and peace was not possible till Christ died on the cross.

It's an old atheist mind trick.

They use a convoluted translation that then can be interpreted any number of way to make God out to be anyway they want.

Here is the easy to read version

2 If a man’s parents were not legally married, that man may not join with the men of Israel to worship the Lord. And none of his descendants to the tenth generation—may join in that group.
