Apologetics 301 Guidelines
If you think this is the area where you tell everyone you are sorry for eating their lunch out of the fridge, it probably isn't the place for you
This forum is open discussion between atheists and all theists to defend and debate their views on religion or non-religion. Please respect that this is a Christian-owned forum and refrain from gratuitous blasphemy. VERY wide leeway is given in range of expression and allowable behavior as compared to other areas of the forum, and moderation is not overly involved unless necessary. Please keep this in mind. Atheists who wish to interact with theists in a way that does not seek to undermine theistic faith may participate in the World Religions Department. Non-debate question and answers and mild and less confrontational discussions can take place in General Theistics.

Kinda reminds me of the story of the guy who went to the doc, and the doc told him he had cancer and only 6 months to live.
The man, very distraught, asked the doc, "isn't there anything I can do?"
Doc told him "marry an ugly woman and move to New Mexico".
The man demanded to know how that would help him live longer.
Doc replied "oh, it won't, but it will sure feel like it!"
The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

David had several wives; Bathsheba was merely the latest (recorded). Given succession struggles between sons of different wives, it's probably politics that kept Bathsheba from that role. A young woman brought in just to keep him warm wouldn't cause that problem. As Sparko said, why not have a pretty woman do the job? It's not as if dying men are prone to sexual temptation.Veritas vos Liberabit<>< Learn Greek <>< Look here for an Orthodox Church in America<><Ancient Faith Radio

I recommend you do not try too hard and ...research as little as possible. Such weighty things give me a headache. - Shunyadragon, Baha'i apologist

Why? He already had several children. More children would just further muck up succession issues.
It needed to be said so the woman could subsequently marry, honor intact. Whether or not he could would have been irrelevant.Veritas vos Liberabit<>< Learn Greek <>< Look here for an Orthodox Church in America<><Ancient Faith Radio

Now you're going overboard on your speculations. Don't go changin', whag.
It was probably negotiated beforehand, and the only people who needed to know were her family and any prospective matchmakers, who could be told when they approached.Veritas vos Liberabit<>< Learn Greek <>< Look here for an Orthodox Church in America<><Ancient Faith Radio
