What is With the Bible's the Obsession with Incest?

No one who defends the Bible ever seems to want to acknowledge the perversion that runs through their beloved book. From condoning slavery to sanctioning murder, there is no shortage of things the writers of the Bible considered acceptable. They readily embraced immoral acts that any decent person would find reprehensible.

One of these reprehensible practices is central to the storyline that runs throughout the book of Genesis. Impossible to miss, yet seemingly accepted, there is no way around the rampant incest the Bible relies on to build and regenerate the human race.

The very beginning of the story puts this practice front and center as the only plausible answer for where all humans came from. After the creation of Adam, the God of the Bible stopped creating living things from the dirt of the earth.

Maybe, anyway. We will get into this issue later in the future.

The animals were created, male and female, until God decided to create man in his image. A single, male human. No female human was considered from reading the text. Just a lonely guy in a garden full of wild animals, fruit trees, and vegetables.

At some point after this lonely man was created, this all-knowing, totally infallible God who created this solitary man decided the man was lonely. Rather than scoop up some dirt and make him a friend, he put him to sleep and stole one of his ribs to make a woman.

Anyone who knows anything about biology, genetics, or just basic science, can see the issue here. Using the biological material of one human to create a second human would not create a new, unique human, let alone a human of a different sex. Not even close. You would end up with a clone of the person you had used for the science experiment.

So now we have to go with the realization that Eve was a transgender clone of Adam. There really is no other way around it. Adam then knocked up his transgendered clone after this clone had sexual reassignment surgery.

Things are already getting a little disturbing with this story, and we have not even brought the kids into the story.

With this clone of Adam being the first successful transgender sexual reassignment surgery in recorded ‘history’, the results were so amazing that the clone was able to conceive a child. Not just once, but twice. Talk about biblical scale miracles. Modern medical science can’t close to delivering these amazing results.

But here we find ourselves, the world’s first male human, the world’s first transgender clone to undergo sexual reassignment surgery for a wife, and the two sons this disturbing match made possible by a God with a twisted sense of morality.

Guess this wasn’t too bad, given the other options Adam had for dating if his clone hadn’t appealed to him.

This is where the wheels really begin fall off this story, if there hadn’t already.

The God that had created the man and performed the amazing surgical procedure to remove a rib from the man, clone it, and then magically transform it into a woman that could bear children, now wanted these children to offer sacrifices to him. Not just any sacrifice. He wanted them to sacrifice the best of their possessions.

Maybe it was a difference in how one of these inbred children of the man and his clone viewed the best of his veggies, or just a desire to eat food that had not rotted, but his offering was not accepted. As punishment, he was forced to leave the only known humans on the face of the earth up to this point.

But wait, there is a twist. He gets to go to another country, complete with humans, where he is lucky enough to find a wife.

Time out!

There was another country, filled with people, and we have no information how it came to be? One would think this would be a rather important part of the story. Especially given the amazing lengths it took to bring the second human, the only one able to bear children, into existence.

This has never been that case for the Bible thumpers. This was just one of his sisters that had already moved because the garden was getting too crowded.

I personally have a feeling that the rather loose morality, and overly questionable views on sexuality, the original garden inhabitants practiced may have had something to do with people wanting to leave. That is, if there truly were other humans living there.

Regardless of how this mystery people supposedly got to this new country, it takes a special kind of messed up to come up with something as sick marrying your sister as punishment for pissing off a loving God. Being sent to live in the country your sister moved to just so she could get away from you, your brother and your parents, forcing her to marry you as punishment to yourself seems more like a punishment for her.

Promoting and accepting this idea can only be explained by a missing sense of morality.

Then, just to help reinforce the idea that incest is completely normal and socially acceptable, this infallible, all-loving God that made a mess of his creation by deliberately tempting them with food, decided to kill everyone except one guy, his wife, their three sons, and their son’s wives.

After what had to be the smelliest, least restful cruise in the history of the universe, these eight people got off the boat and began the process of incestuously repopulating the earth again.

Isn’t a miracle this God had the foresight to save this man and his family so the human race could survive? Maybe if you are some disgusting pervert who enjoys reading about incest and inbreeding.

No! This is sick. Only a pervert could view this as something to get excited about.

But we are not done yet. Not even close.

A few generations later, after this all-knowing, infallible, all-loving God decides to pick a favorite person out of all the people on the face of the earth, after the earth was populated twice, courtesy of incest, we get an even sicker twist.

This super special, most favorite human hand-picked by God to be the father of his chosen people has a nephew that comes into the picture via another way out of left field story. If the people before him and his family weren’t sick enough, they take things to a new level of depraved.

After being visited by a couple of angels who catch the eyes of a group of local gay men, he tries to appease these men by offering them his two virgin daughters to have their way with. Talk about quality Biblical family values.

After the men reject the idea of virgin girls in place of the two angels, the angles implore him and his family to leave before God destroys the city they call home. While making their escape, the leading candidate for worst parent in the Bible up to this point in the story, and his daughters witness a truly disturbing site.

The mother openly disobeys the instructions they were given upon fleeing and looks back to where they had left. She is instantly turned to salt before the eyes of her family. While I have no doubt that seeing your mother turn to salt before your eyes could mess you up, your sense of right and wrong should remain intact.

Not for this group. Viewing themselves as unable to find men who would want them, and who could blame them after the towns gay community didn’t find them appealing, these two girls get their father drunk so they can get their kink on with him. All so they could have children of their own.

You read that right. They wanted their father to get them pregnant. AND HE DID!

When it comes to families that have no morals, no boundaries, and no decency, this one takes the cake.

When it comes to providing a roadmap for morality, the Bible definitely doesn’t live up to the standards that have been set by decent humans. At best, it is a guide for perverts to normalize some of the sickest acts a person could be involved in.

One thing that is for certain, the people who wrote the Bible had an overly active imagination when it came to depraved sex acts.
