(no subject)

I thought writing the essay was hard. Ha! Finding all these links is taking me ages. It's already tomorrow! Actual posting of "David and the Ladies" (I think that's what it's going to be called at least) will happen, um, later today I guess :s Oy.

Biblical Marriage: David, His Boys And Their Women...Oh My

If you haven’t seen my previous postings, I’m writing a series of essays in response to a YouTube video that supposedly tells the dirty, hitherto unknown, truth about Biblical marriages—a truth that even Christians don’t know. About fifteen examples of “Biblical” marriages are given during the four minute vid, each more outrageously unbelievable than the last.

The thing is, though, that very few of the examples given are actual Biblical marriages. So with that in mind, I’m examining the examples of so-called “biblical” marriages (or “godly” marriages since that’s what we all mean when we use the word biblical) given in the YouTube video to show how they are, in fact, rarely biblical in nature. Unfortunately, of the examples given, the marriages that are biblical are also kinda messed up. It’s not the institution of marriage that’s at fault in these relationships, but the way the marriages are lived.

To date I’ve written about “one man, one woman, and the son she seduces after he’s killed his only brother” (Adam, Eve and Cain), “one man and his sister” (Abraham and Sarah), “one man, his sister and the help” (Abraham, Sarah and Hagar)1, “one man and the table salt” (Lot and his wife), and “one man, [and] a gal who’s kidnapped and raped right after her brother, father, mother and slutty sister have been slaughtered” (the tribe of Benjamin and 400+ virgins).

It’s been a wild and crazy ride.

This essay will look at three related “biblical marriages” all from men in the same family, with nearly similar issues: they loooooved the ladies. Or as the YouTube video puts it, marriage is between “one man, one woman, another woman, yet another woman, a few more woman, an adulterer and a pack of raped whores!”, and also between “one man, and frankly enough women to make a Mormon compound seem quaintly understaffed.” ( Read more... )

1 - "Abraham and Sarah" and "Abraham, Sarah and Hagar" are covered in the same essay, hence the same link.

I recently realized that I can finally finish "Until the Fall" b/c I can download and transfer the whole shebang to my kindle. I know, it's sad that it's taken me this long, but I'll have the whole thing (and sequel!) in my official library. According to my kindle, you will be a published author. Dunno about you, dear, but it makes me happy. *HUGS!*
