      I grew up pretty Christian. That particular section (or book) has some pretty spicy stuff in it. There’s also other questionable sexual stuff in other areas. Like you’re supposed to impregnate your brother’s widow if they die without an heir, polygamy etc … It’s a book that’s incredible forward thinking for it’s time, but it’s time was like 6,000 years ago.

      Oh man there is a ton of crazy sex in the Bible.

      King David getting wood looking at one of his general’s wives bathing on the rooftop and starts an affair that would eventually split the kingdom of Israel in half and start a war between brothers.

      Onan refusing to impregnante his dead brother’s widow and being struck dead for pulling out.

      And don’t even get me started on the incest…
