Genesis for Skeptics

Genesis has it all: sex, violence, contradictions, insults to women, absurdities, conflicts with science and history, you name it. Well, except for anything good, that is. God declared his creation to be "very good" in 1:31, but I can't find anything good in Genesis.

Be sure to check out:

• The two contradictory creation stories. 1:1-2:3, 2:4-25

• God's two magic trees: The tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. 2:9

• God's clever, talking serpent. 3:1

• God's curse of all women. 3:16

• The mark of Cain. 4:15

• The "sons of God" copulated with the "daughters of men," and had sons who became "the mighty men of old, men of renown." 6:2-4

• "There were giants in the earth in those days." 6:4

• Noah, the just and righteous. 6:9, 7:1

• God drowns everyone on earth (except Noah and his family). 7:4

• Noah, the drunk and naked. 9:20-21

• The curse of Canaan. 9:22-25

• The Tower of Babel. 11:1-9

• Abraham's first "she's my sister" lie. 12:13

• Abraham's war to rescue Lot. 14:14-17

• Lot [the just and righteous (2 Peter 2:7-8)] offers his daughters to a crowd of angel rapers. 19:8

• "The LORD rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire." 19:24

• God turns Lot's wife into a pillar of salt. 19:26

• A drunken Lot impregnates his daughters. 19:30-36

• Abraham's second "she's my sister" lie. 20:2

• God closed all the wombs in Abimelech's household to punish him for believing Abraham's lie. 20:18

• Abraham abandons his first son, Ishmael. 21:10-14

• God tells Abraham to kill his second son (Isaac) for a burnt offering. 22:2

• Put your hand under my thigh (testicles) and swear. 24:2, 47:29

• Isaac uses his dad's "she's my sister" lie. 26:7

• Jacob goes in unto Leah by mistake. 29.25

• The great baby making contest. 30:1-23

• Rachel buys sex with mandrakes. 30:15-16

• Jacob wrestles with God and wins! 32:24-28

• Jacob sees God face to face and lives. 32:30

• The Shechem/Dinah lovestory/massacre. 34:1-25

• Reuben has sex with his father's concubine. 35:22

• God kills Er for being wicked. 38:7

• Onan spills his seed; God kills Onan. 38:9-10

• Judah impregnates his daughter in law. 38:16-18

• God brought a seven year, "very grievous" famine on the whole earth for no apparent reason (except maybe to make Joseph wealthy). 41:56
