Is it just me, or is it kinda weird that it seems that according to the bible it used to be ok to marry and have kids with your siblings?

I just seen a video that said Adam and Eve had sons and daughters who married each other and had kids. But that it was ok in those days since the human genome was free from any type of mutation so the problems that we would see today from having children with your siblings wouldn't have happened back than. Idk still sounds gross and weird to me

That part of the bible was written by racist, sexual predators that wanted the bloodline so pure they would only have sex with family members who they could groom from childhood.
Much more believable than a magic genome.

@Renaci It reads just like mythology. After his banishment, Cain built a city. For three.

@BlueSkyKing where do you get 3 from?

@TheWildEcho Genesis 4:17

And Cain knew his wife; and she conceived, and bare Enoch: and he builded a city, and called the name of the city, after the name of his son, Enoch.

@BlueSkyKing there were plenty of people around then, Adam and Eve had other children and possibly grand children by then

@BlueSkyKing That doesn't answer the question of where you got the three. How long did Cain live before building the City? How many children did Adam and Eve have? It doesn't read like mythology, your inaccurate interpretation does.

@TheWildEcho Go to Genesis 5. It says Adam had Seth at 130. Adam was never born, no ages mentioned for when Cain and Abel were born or when Abel died. Nothing about Eve being old or existing. Seth was 105 when his first son was born. No clue where Mrs. Cain came from. And so on…

@BlueSkyKing so where do you think all Adams children and grandchildren were living? Use the bible to understand the bible! There was a city so there must have been plenty of people around. Remember they lived a long time back then, probably having children at 2-3hundred years old

@AkioTsukino you're right about that!!
