Genesis 19:34
The next day, the firstborn said to the younger, “Behold, I lay last night with my father. Let us make him drink wine tonight also. Then you go in and lie with him, that we may preserve offspring from our father.”"A people that elect corrupt politicians, imposters, thieves and traitors are not victims, but accomplices," George OrwellComment

Oral sex between consenting males is mentioned eleven times in the Bible
and never censoriously, yet any mention of it has been edited out of the
Readers Digest condensed version.“Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.”Comment

In which case I suggest you research the history of mathematics. Some truly staggering works, both creatively and intellectually, penned many, many centuries before the Bible and all other leading modern religious texts....

But, of course, the point I was making was that they were doing something intellectual challenging - not simply making up stories to entertain/control the masses.
Originally posted by NotAllThere View PostThe consensus among scholars about, for example, the book of Ezekiel (another x-rated portion of the Bible), is mostly the writings of one man who lived in Babylonia during the exile of Judah, about ~500BCE. The first chapter of Genesis is from about the same time - that's when most of the deuteronomical history was put together as well. The earliest portions - mostly in the first 15 chapters of Genesis - come from before 2000BCE - though again, the compilation and editing was during the exile. I struggle with the idea that texts originating between ~4000 and 1800 years old can be described as "modern".
