Well, since I'm LDS, I am at liberty to get the truth from any source I wish. I've seen that site before, and while I find the conclusions it draws to be faulty, I'm willing to admit that it presents some worthwhile information.I noticed you listed LDS as your religion so you probably wouldn't want to use it as a source, but www.skepticsannotatedbible.com has a pretty decent reference section for all the "bad" stuff like that in the bible.

I believe the Joseph Smith inspired version is critical of Lot's daughters seducing papa.
If Abrahamic religions prohibit incest, how did Adam and Eve populate the earth?
But following this logic, prohibiting it is absurd due to the fact that we are all related.It was necessary at the beginning, but been prohibited later on after it was no longer needed.
I'm impressed that your logic took you so far mine starts acting up when Im supposed to believe that one original couple has spawned humanityBut following this logic, prohibiting it is absurd due to the fact that we are all related.
I was being uncharacteristically generous, Dan. Even if the story of Adam and Eve is correct, there is no point that their offspring would cease to be family. The entire idea of banning incest is therefore complete rubbish. It's like closing the barns doors after a hurricane has blown the building away. Aside from this, I'm not sure how anyone in their right mind could still cling to the childish concept of Adam and Eve. Like... seriously.I'm impressed that your logic took you so far mine starts acting up when Im supposed to believe that one original couple has spawned humanity
