Let's assume God is real for a moment. Let's assume that a modern-day Moses exists and the whole world knew this man was a prophet of God. Let's go on and imagine that God provided commandments that were completely consistent with our way of thinking in the year 2013. Let's then imagine that we wrote down these commandments and preserved them for 2,000 years. Let's then say with great certainty that the people of 2,000 years in the future would look at our society, our people, and our values as a bunch of idiotic baloney. Then they look at our scriptures that match our values, and decide that the God (which we already are assuming exists) must be false simply because he spoke to a more primitive people in a way that they would understand. You don't have to believe the Bible is true, and you may give a number of reasons why you think that way. But if you think God is false because he was working with a primitive people, you're kinda expecting a little much from him.

So this same God gives the Book of Leviticus to these people, which is mainly list after list of really really specific instructions to follow.Are these people really SO PRIMITIVE, that in that list of 500+ laws He couldn't throw in "Don't rape people" or "Don't keep slaves" or "Don't kill dudes because they screw other dudes."

Were the people who built the great cities of Egypt and Babylon, who irrigated the Fertile Crescent, so primitive these laws would have made their brains overheat?
