That among other 'immoral' acts were OK in the OT (the bible god said so and in fact encouraged such acts as dashing babies heads against rocks).
And you have been quite busy I see and I got lost in the shuffle, but I would still like an answer to my response here.
They were perceived as ok by some of the peole of the time and some of the people who wrote the OT. But those people were wrong. Those acts are not moral and they never were.
I apologize. I will take a look.

"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
