I'm not sure why we wouldn't count slaughtering entire towns because god said so human sacrifices, or saying that keeping young virgin girls for fucking isn't pedophilia. I don't see anything wrong with orgies or homosexuality, as long as they were all consenting adults.
Part of the problem with the bible is that Yahweh's opinion of right and wrong seems to be dictated by current Human culture, rather than dictated by what is actually best for the overall Human species.
Given how Yahweh states that anyone who doesn't follow him needs to die, what does he care if surrounding tribes kill each other anyway?
