      Gen 38.

      Go ahead, explain it to me… I linked it below, if you want to remind yourself of the text.

        Restating the incorrect answer is not going to make it true, no matter how much snark you add, thanks.

          Gen 38

          You should probably read it. Yes, I paraphrased it a bit sarcastically, but I’m not wrong.

          According to the story…. Judah’s son- Er - is killed by god; more or less because he’s a jerk. Or because he was ugly. Or whatever.

          Who knows.

              Which means…… what, exactly?

              Think about the kinds of assholes that have been allowed to live throughout history. Either Er was absolutely worse than any other monster, or god’s reasoning was random. (Or, god is made in their image and they’re not particularly reasonable people.)
