Why is Ruth in the Bible? So, I make no secret of the fact that I'm atheist but I was reading the bible again during church on Easter (yeah like you've never done anything just to please your grandparents) and decided to reread Ruth.
So basically, this girl Ruth decides to stay with her mother-in-law. We don't know anything about her past so no way to know why she really didn't want to go home but the point is she stays (like most of us) with the person she knows. They need food so she goes to the fields to get some food. The rich old man thinks she is hot and wants to get with her so he tells the people to give her all the food she wants. Her mother-in-law tells her that the guy clearly likes her so she should sneak in a lie next to him while he is sleeping. Dude wakes up, gives her more food b/c she is hot and he wants her. As custom, he goes to her next-of-kin and says he wants to marry her. He marries the hot chick. The end.
How is that spiritually enlightening?
