    Not sure what if true would have to do with anything? I studies Ruth I have no idea what your talking about, neither does Deuteronomy passages say anything on it.
    Great granny Ruth (to David) was a Moabite and it's less than 10 generations in between. Jesus is supposed to be a decendant from David. Moab was the child/grandchild of Lot. Since there's quite a few generations between and God is lacking a bit of people (due to wiping them out from time to time) it's mostly for fun.

Much of OT applies only for time,space,certain peoples. Just one example, when god told noah to build a big boat, that does not mean me as a believer should today.
    Yes, and the interpretations on this aren't absolute. That is a bit of problem when talking about moral absolutes.

    Genocide, generational punishments,mind control, etc. I would love to disuse these all with you, you bring up all the topics of a atheist book. I will ask you hold on the "genocide" conquest of cannan. That being my favorite, I wish to do a thread of its own, as i do with twc and other forums.That is my favorite, because atheist are so sure of what they have been told and the few passages they quotes that certainly seem to support there claim. That filling in the rest really lets them down, I love that part. The other two bring up exsaples I would love to tell you from bible what is meant, and exspalin the passages for you.
    The atheist book you mentioned I've read is called the Bible. I'm guessing you're familiar with that one. Notions of genocide: The flood, (duh), Sodom and Gomorra, active threat (plague) on the Jews for deviation of faith (Jews saved by active murder showing devotion to God) and the following retaliation which Moses ups (to cultural genocide, only virgins left) from what the original commanders did (and they were quite brutal).

    Deut 23:1 is specific in that the punishment are on the children and their decendants and not the sinning parents. God took a very long time to forgive the original sin so it's not like it's a unique occurence. Besides, that's a quite suspect interpretation (as in: don't like the original one, let's make up one that sounds better, but is much less based on what's written). Unless there was some bizarre idea that is your parents sinned, you're immune to that sin (say that your father was a thief leads to that you can steal without any problem), there's no need to specify that it only applies if they continue the sins of thier ancestors.

    The 10 generations are a nice show that the person isn't familiar to population demographics. The 2 parents, 4 grandparents, etc, etc. gives 2^10-1=1023 couples that might have cheated. With 1% cheating ratio (that's a very low count), only about 3 out of 100.000 fullfills that demand.

    The Bible never states the original opinion of the Pharao. Besides, even with this interpretation, God still actively searches a confrontation which will result in the punishment of the Egyptians. That is cruel and a show off display of destructive powers.

    The origin of species came out 1859, the US civil war started 1861 (a definite stop to slave import in the US). No, slavery was not popular because of the idea of evolution. Examples of justifications of slavery were that they were decendants of Ham, making it Gods (well Noahs) will to have those in eternal slavery. Alternativly God created man several times before he got it right.

    There are no absolute morals. Now, Christianity haven't been very big on it (rather the opposite), but human sacrifice are an example on where murder become virtous, through religion. I'm not knowing any examples, but I'm quite certain that rape has been sanctified in the same way more than once.

    Morality on the other hand exists. Even if it is "only" impulses in our brains and an agreement between a group of people. Now such an agreement is quite powerful, since it contains enforcement and the abillity to reject those who doesn't agree. The club is society so to speak. That is a stronger motivator than an arbiter for absolute moralities.
    We are all aware that the senses can be deceived, the eyes fooled. But how can we be sure our senses are not being deceived at any particular time, or even all the time? Might I just be a brain in a tank somewhere, tricked all my life into believing in the events of this world by some insane computer? And does my life gain or lose meaning based on my reaction to such solipsism?
