    God used flawed men like Noah and King David

    Noah got both his daughters pregnant. (Oops that was Lot, after god destroyed Sodom & Gamora for being cruel to poor people, and for some reason also killed Lot’s wife)

    The Bible calls King David a man after gods heart. Same King David that sent his bro (top general) on a suicide mission so he could steal his wife.

    Just some context for peeps.

      And these don’t even tank top ten in the “worst shit committed by ‘men of god’ in the Bible”. Hell it doesn’t even make top 10 in the Old Testament.

          Nah, the story was that Lot and his daughters were hiding in the mountains, and the daughters decided that their chances of ever getting a man were close to 0, so they got their father blackout drunk and got themselves pregnant using him.

      after god destroyed Sodom & Gamora for being cruel to poor people

      For wanting to ass-rape angels disguised as travellers.
