This claim is, as I said before: absurd, childish, trivial, fatuous, specious and so forth. This specific argument has absolutely no merit.
You are all welcome to be heathens if you want, that's none of my business.  But the various opinions of the Old Testament itself are simply not relevant to this particular claim, and do not bolster it in the slightest. |
Come on Kali Yuga, do you actually believe that the author was advocating that Amazon stop selling the Bible because it contains incest? Or is it more likely that the author was using the Bible reference to make her point that just because a book contains incest that it should NOT be banned? Using hyperbole to make a point is not absurd, childish, trivial, fatuous, specious and so forth.
