Don't forget, the whole incest issue comes back again after the Flood, when Noah and his family are the only humans left.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Thrive to spite them
I had serious issues with Lot that were never answered either. I would argue that Lot tried to pimp out his daughters, but be told that "no, Lot knew that they only wanted the angels so his daughters were safe." Which is still icky because he's offering them up. Then he and his daugthers live, go hide in a cave, where he's daughters get him drunk and jump him so they can have kids.
And this guy was spared?
The only answer to that was "God works in mysterious ways."

Woe to the fucking wicked.
But, with Noah, most of the incest would be cousins (his sons' wives came along). Granted, first cousins, but that's less squicky to me than siblings.

cursing a tree that didn't bear fruit at his command.
So was the tree sentient? Maybe it only became sentient when Jesus gave it the command.
So it's whole conscious life would be, "Wow, I can think. Shit, Jesus is mad at me!"

Sheesh... this is what I get for giving Debet hot cousins. Oy.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
when Noah and his family are the only humans left.
At least his sons were already married at that point, so incest? Yes, but not as bad.
Although, I was taught that Adam & Eve were the first, but not necessarily the only, humans. So, their kids could have married the others.

I don't understand people who take the Bible literally. On the other hand, I'm a non-believer so I suppose my opinion is pretty skewed.

Oh! I forgot about the Noah incest, but that wasn't as bad, I mean, he took his sons in law and daughters in law, so yes there was some inbreeding but that's not as bad as Adam and Eve's children getting it on with each other.
So this is where VC Andrews got her story ideas.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Not anything about my cousins, but such matches were acceptable for much more of history than sibling matches.

Were there other brothers?
Adam and Eve had 33 sons and 23 daughters, according to Josephus. Who turned out to be right about Masada when no one believed him, so, hey, maybe he knew.
