1 He that is wounded in the stones, or hath his privy member cut off, shall not enter into the congregation of the Lord.
2 A bastard shall not enter into the congregation of the Lord; even to his tenth generation shall he not enter into the congregation of the Lord.
Deuteronomy 23:1
Wouldn't you think that anyone with his member cut off or his stones wounded would have suffered enough? And it just doesn't seem fair to me to punish the child (that'd be the bastard) for the "sins" of his parents. Then again, if you read the bible god doesn't give a shit about fairness.

okay, this borders on sacrilege, but...
why doesn't jesus count as a bastard?
i realize mary and joseph got married and all that, but that feels like a technicality, a cop-out.
LOL
