I was reading a Greg Iles book, my second. He's a great author.

Blood Memory is deep, dark, cleverly woven, but I won't spoil the plot.

However, it was pointed out in the book that Leviticus prohibits incest, but specifically omits one's own daughter in the listed prohibitions.

Sure enough...

Leviticus 18:6

None of you shall approach to any that is near of kin to him, to uncover their nakedness: I am the LORD. 7 The nakedness of thy father, or the nakedness of thy mother, shalt thou not uncover: she is thy mother; thou shalt not uncover her nakedness. 8 The nakedness of thy father's wife shalt thou not uncover: it is thy father's nakedness. 9 The nakedness of thy sister, the daughter of thy father, or daughter of thy mother, whether she be born at home, or born abroad, even their nakedness thou shalt not uncover. 10 The nakedness of thy son's daughter, or of thy daughter's daughter, even their nakedness thou shalt not uncover: for theirs is thine own nakedness. 11 The nakedness of thy father's wife's daughter, begotten of thy father, she is thy sister, thou shalt not uncover her nakedness. 12 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy father's sister: she is thy father's near kinswoman. 13 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy mother's sister: for she is thy mother's near kinswoman. 14 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy father's brother, thou shalt not approach to his wife: she is thine aunt. 15 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy daughter in law: she is thy son's wife; thou shalt not uncover her nakedness. 16 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy brother's wife: it is thy brother's nakedness. 17 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of a woman and her daughter, neither shalt thou take her son's daughter, or her daughter's daughter, to uncover her nakedness; for they are her near kinswomen: it is wickedness. 18 Neither shalt thou take a wife to her sister, to vex her, to uncover her nakedness, beside the other in her life time.

Wow.

Of course, it's Leviticus that calls lying with a man an abomination- which it also applies to eating shellfish. Getting drilled, or doing the drilling, in another guy's ass and eating lobster- both abominations.

If there is a segue' there, I don't see it.

Of course, Leviticus also says we should not eat the "Fruits" of trees until the tree is five years old, we should wear no garment made of both linen and wool, we shall have no tattoos ("markings"), and that we can be absolved of adultery by offering a Ram for sacrifice.

I hate the Rams, and I have no trouble sacrificing them for the absolution of my libidinous friends. Is it only current Rams, or are former Rams ok, too?

If we could work the Dodgers in somehow, my life would be complete.
