There used to be laws about what bastard children could do, and what posistions they could.
There were not “nice”, but it was recongized that bastard children will not behave the same as those raised in intact homes.
We chose to forget that, and will fall.
In the United States? Or in the Old Testament?
Regards,
We cannot hold the “bastard” children responsible since they are the innocent victims and had no choice in their circumstances. It would be better to hold their parents responsible instead.
