Recently I started reading Bible. The reason was, that it is often said, that Bible is what made the Western Civilization... must say that it has not changed my mind about the God (yup, He still does not exist for me, not even some Flying Spaghetti Monster), but it is very interesting book to read.
One can see how life was back there for example from all those things which are forbidden etc. I cannot imagine that nowadays priests would be liked if they would be speaking in churches about not f***ing your own mother, because no one who is actually NORMAL does not have such thoughts... but the list in Leviticus of which family members are not bangable, made me really laugh, because someone living in the era, when this was "normal" HAD TO write that list.
Eitherway from this little example we can say that the author was quite succesful. Only the thought of it is like atrocity these days. But on the other hand, it was written back in the old times, where genetics was even not idea and people would not know DNA, but still inbreeding is very bad because of the physical and health damages. So it is both morally and genetically wrong.
