As a case in point it seems King David should be a counter example, that of a man corrupted by power, yet perversely he seems to be a protagonist, a winner and much admired then and down through the ages.

It probably isn’t obvious from the above, but I only just learned of the secretive Christian organisation calling itself The Family which is embroiled in multiple US political scandals. They justify theirs and King David’s asocial behaviour as being permitted to those chosen by God. The sign by which the chosen are identified is their power over others.

Because they have convinced themselves they are favoured by God, they grant themselves exemption from the moral standards applied to lesser mortals.

Ah but Mr Gronk, it was all for the good of the species. The all-merciful YHWH had just dished out his righteous justice upon Sodom and Gomorrah, from which Lot and his girls made a narrow escape … what better for a bit of stress relief than a roll in the hay with dear old dad, on the pretext of saving the human race … ?

Note also that these were the very same girls Lot had earlier cheerfully offered to the Sodomites to spare his own godly butthole and those of his guests the indignities uncle Noah suffered!

” 5And they [the Sodomites] called unto Lot, and said unto him, Where are the men which came in to thee this night? bring them out unto us, that we may know them. 6And Lot went out at the door unto them, and shut the door after him, 7And said, I pray you, brethren, do not so wickedly. 8Behold now, I have two daughters which have not known man; let me, I pray you, bring them out unto you, and do ye to them as is good in your eyes: only unto these men do nothing; for therefore came they under the shadow of my roof.”

And to think that this entire theology of intolerance is based on a handful of verses extracted from The Hypocrites Guide to the Galaxy.

Re: Get thee behind me, Satan. Remember that Satan is an anagram of Santa, and Santa gets little kids to sit on his knee.
Makes you think, eh?

Your standards have once again set the bar higher. I envy your brain.

I can’t help thinking that if his son had given him one up the bum while he was sleeping Noah would have certainly known about it when he woke up.

Not been there personally but I can’t help thinking you might have a rough idea if someone had popped it up your jacksie.

As usual the perfect infallible word of god makes good sense when you know how to interpret it …
