In the Bible when Abraham and his wife Sarah go to Egypt Abraham tells Sarah to tell the Pharoah that they aren't a married couple. He says for her to tell him that they are brother and sister. Yet when the Pharoah decides he likes Sarah and tells her she's "comely" and would she like to be his wife Abraham gets pissed off about it and god decides to punish the Pharoah. Yet it was Abraham's dishonesty that starts the whole misunderstanding. Also, it's not like the Pharoah said " you have to marry me", he didn't act in an inappropriate manner at all. He just asked. Is that right? Wasn't the Pharoah, by virtue of being human, just as much god's child as Abraham? So...what's up with that?

Typical bible contradictions - thats why they focus on the new testament, because the old is full of stories that don't preach the same standards. ;0)
