Finally someone gets it!

It's amazing all the intrigue and drama that happened in history, some of which recorded in the Bible, all for want of some condoms, possibly other birth control, and some decent abortion clinics.
I mean, can you imagine where the story of David and Bathsheba would be if someone appeared to David at a crucial stage in the plot and handed him a large supply of Durex, gave him a brief but sufficient education in matters, and sent him on his way? Or if Bathsheba could have run to the doctor's for the morning after pill after he'd given her a cream pie, or at least had an abortion from a decent place?
And if God was going to kill the resultant child anyway - why didn't he just cause Bathsheba to miscarry - and prevent David from having Uriah disappeared? The impression you walk away with is that both David and God are Grade A bastards.
These are the sorts of things I like to think about...
