Which falls under Cain married his sister. But how can they be bit
players in the Biblical sense? I mean c'mon, just a few lines after Cain's
unnamed wife begats Enoch we get a series of other people, all of whom are
named. And you'd think that children of the first pair would be a tad more
interesting.

Soooo the Bible is a news broadcast (which often get many things wrong)
and not the infallible word of God?

Ah, yes, mea Culpa. Job was the one God played a practical joke on.
Lot's the one that offered up his daughters for gang-rape. Out of context
how? If anyone that would be you. You can't even understand the context with
which the nation was founded. Let's review.
They called to Lot, "Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out
to us so that we can have sex with them."
Lot went outside to meet them and shut the door behind him and said, "No, my
friends. Don't do this wicked thing. Look, I have two daughters who have never
slept with a man. Let me bring them out to you, and you can do what you like
with them. But don't do anything to these men, for they have come under the
protection of my roof."
Ok, gang of men who want to get freaky with the angels. Lot goes outside
and says to them, "I have two daughters who have never slept with a man. Let
me bring them out to you, and you can do what you like with them."
What, you think this gang of men who a line before demanded that they
wanted to have sex with two angels are now going to have a nice tea and
crumpets with Lot's daughters? No. I fail to see how anyone can see him as
doing anything other than offering them up for gang-rape.

You do? Then why can't you even answer my simple questions if you haven't
asked them yourself?
