Abrahamic religions make more sense when you consider...

They were started by an incest-baby and a bastard-child, driven by 2 jealous mothers, fighting over daddy's land. While Daddy told them God promised them the world.

Then kept recruiting other people into their argument.

For the down votes, what have I said that's untrue? If God is truth, then you must judge me by the truth of my words.

It makes even more sense when you realize that Yahweh's history of being a war god, under other gods until war (or actually lost wars) allowed his worshipers to claim the losses were because Yahweh wasn't being recognized as the true god. Politics and religion.

Abraham and Sarah were siblings (incest). Abraham abandoned Ishmael for long periods of time (bastard child). And Sarah told Abraham not to even dismount his horse while visiting Ishmael and Hagar (jealousy).

All that combined with a dad who told them that God promised them the world.

2 messed up kids, in the middle of the desert, with parents that hated each other, daddy issues, and promises of grandeur.

Then a guy who said, "screw this, I'm ditching the generational trauma," starts trying to pull people to his side of things.

The other 2 siblings love/hate him for it.

Don't know how that particularly adds to understanding the religions but okay.

It makes it human, and not mythical.

Do you not know that the gene pool was clearer back then? From Adam and Eve, there had to be incest. Later on, incest was acceptable. Now it's not because it could cause deformed babies. That wasn't the case back then.

Then why was it considered a sin for a daughter to get pregnant by her father?

God gave Moses more rules because the people weren't happy with just the Ten Commandments. So, God gave Moses more to keep his people holy. And they were not holy. They kept failing and making poor choices. God had to tighten their morals. In the beginning there was a lot of room to make mistakes and it's not like Adam, Eve or Noah had a guidebook like we do now. There was no moral compass. Also, if God commands something it is automatically good. That's just how Christianity works. Idk what else to say.
