Hmm.. Off the top of my head?
David bringing Saul extra foreskins. Why he needs foreskins anyway... Why not heads, hearts, ears? Just ewwew.
Then there is Lot: "have your way with my daughters, but don't touch these angels/travelers." yeah no, that dude can pound sand.
Jews not letting a dude with a testicle injury, or who have had his "privy member cut off" into the temple (Leviticus). In all fairness, with all the genital hacking being done in the name of transgenderism, this one seems less wacky than it did 30 years ago)
My personal favorite though, is Elisha having God send a female bear to rip some kids to shreds, for making fun of his baldness. Nice guy, that Elisha.
Now, I'm used to apologetics. "It was a different time", "they weren't kids, but young adults", "the importance was about protecting your guests and hospitality" etc. Here's the thing. Even if apologists are right, it's still wacky. And that's okay. There's more good stuff than bad in the Bible. Ways to live. How to treat others fairly. The healing power of forgiveness. How sometimes all you have to sustain you in times of trouble is faith. How redemption is possible. And how even great men can fall. I find the new testament more inspiring. Less wacky stuff.
Calling it wacky isn't meant as an insult. But as a non-religious pede, I gotta say: a lot of it makes total sense - and a lot of it just doesn't compute.
YMMV fren. Take the good, shun the evil. That's how I try to live.
(edit: spelling. David wasn't 'brining' Saul. Then we'd call him Sault. Lol)
