How come they don't think that it's God's plan to stop them from spreading the word about their faith? They got shut down pretty decisively, I don't think God could be any more obvious about wanting them to shut the gently caress up.

They keep talking about how Michelle gets pregnant because it's "God's plan" even though her last two children were a miscarriage and a premature baby respectively and her next pregnancy risks killing her as well as her unborn child. They just do whatever they want and justify it with GOD'S PLAN but their interest in God's opinion is mysteriously absent whenever they fail at life and have to be bailed out.

Indeed. They only hypocrisy here was in either not forcing Josh to marry the sisters he molested, or in not stoning them to death after the fact.

Question: "Why did God allow incest in the Bible?"

Answer: There are numerous examples of incest in the Bible. The most commonly thought-of examples are the sons/daughters of Adam and Eve (Genesis 4), Abraham marrying his half-sister Sarah (Genesis 20:12), Lot and his daughters (Genesis 19), Moses’ father Amram who married his aunt Jochebed (Exodus 6:20), and David’s son Amnon with his half-sister Tamar (2 Samuel 13). It is important to note, however, that in two of the above instances (Tamar and Lot) one of the parties involved was an unwilling participant in the incest.

It is important to distinguish between incestuous relationships prior to God commanding against them (Leviticus 18:6-18) and incest that occurred after God’s commands had been revealed. Until God commanded against it, it was not incest. It was just marrying a close relative. It is undeniable that God allowed incest in the early centuries of humanity. If Adam and Eve were indeed the only two human beings God created, their sons and daughters would have had no other choice but to marry and reproduce with their siblings and close relatives. The second generation would have had to marry their cousins, just as after the flood the grandchildren of Noah would have had to intermarry amongst their cousins. The reason incest is so strongly discouraged in the world today is the understanding that reproduction between closely related individuals has a much higher risk of causing genetic abnormalities. In the early days of humanity, though, this was not a risk due to the fact that the human genetic code was relatively free of defects.

It seems, then, that by the time of Moses, the human genetic code had become polluted enough that close intermarriage was no longer safe. So, God commanded against sexual relations with siblings, half-siblings, parents, and aunts/uncles (Genesis 2:24 seems to indicate that marriage and sexual relations between parents and children were never allowed by God). It was not until many centuries later that humanity discovered the genetic reason that incest is unsafe and unwise. While the idea of incest is disgusting and abhorrent to us today, as it should be, we have to remember why it is sinful, that is, the genetic problems. Since this was not an issue in the early centuries of humanity, what occurred between Adam and Eve’s children, Abraham and Sarah, and Amram and Jochebed, should not be viewed as incest. Again, the key point is that sexual relations between close relatives must be viewed differently pre-Law and post-Law. It did not become “incest” until God commanded against it.

So.... God isn't perfect? He intentionally designed our DNa to get all hosed up if we diddled with close relatives? Gods a loving monster. To punish the children of such a union with unbearable defects is heinous.

His younger brothers and sisters that Adam and Eve had after Cain and Able. The same siblings who inexplicably moved away, had children of their own, and built cities while Cain and Able stayed behind.

When everyone has a lifespan of 900+ years it's easier to work out the logic. Cain could have married a younger sister or even a niece over the hill in the land of Nod. The thing is, as far as I can tell people still aged mostly the same. You weren't a child for 100 years - yet Cain apparently had no interest in raising a family of his own until after he killed his brother. And none of the other kids stayed with Adam and Eve, not even to form a little village. So essentially Cain and Able were really immature man-children who never left home.

The Jews were created separate from the Gentiles in order to provide an example of holiness to the world. Cain simply went and hosed some godless heathens.

Man's genetic code allows mutations and imperfections due to sin corrupting god's perfect creation.

One of those is my personal interpretation and the other is a relatively mainstream American Protestant apologetic view. I'll let you guess which is which.

E: hint. It's the one that blames the victim.

But Godless heathens that never actually killed anyone, since Cain was supposed to represent the first murderer. Thereby separating morality from religion

Then there were the divine beings that were wandering around and having demigod children. The Old Testament was so awesome with it's incest and plagues and sacrificing. I'm going to wager Jim Bob skips the Lott stories at the evening Bible study, though.
