That's why God called him righteous.
Someone said that the Christians would dodge the question by saying God would not ask that of us. Well call it a dodge if you like but, I know my God well enough to know He would not ask that of Christians, I know that through trust and faith. This is why I can live a very comfortable and reasonable life with God, I know He is smarter than the atheist here that think God would ask us such. I do not have to worry about such silly and unreasonable things atheist pull out of their butts.

Gawd was asking for (and received) blind obedience. That's all it ever wants.

Any being as preoccupied with what two consenting adults do in the privacy of their own bedroom isn't that incomprehensible.

I'm calling bullshit here. Normal, rational humans (an normal and rational as any of us are) are biologically hard wired to protect our children. If you could, in face of that hard-wiring, murder your own child then you are psychopathic, period. I don't care who's giving the orders.
In fact. If the afterlife is so grand and you christers are so convinced then why do so many of you go to such lengths to live as long as you can? It's almost as if you all don't really buy the bullshit either. You're just scared that there might be some grand eternal boogie-man and if you don't kiss his ass, he'll send you some place worse than here.
