When I read Genesis now, it seems as if God is referring to our parents. Parents like to control their children. They like to play favorites. They don't want to us to marry anyone who might remove us from their loyalty.
I think the people who wrote Genesis were trying to convey this deep truth. Which is that all religions portray a God who is actually based upon our parents.
Do you think it is possible that this was the original intent of the Old Testament stories?
