2. When you hear the story in church, it's just yeayyyy! What a miracle
that Sarah gave birth at such an advanced age. They kind of gloss over the rape of Hagar and the fact that Sarah and Abraham basically discarded Abraham's son, along with Hagar.

It's never "Don't try this at home with your kids or even your own female slave who depends on you and is unlikely to find another position, given that she now has an illegitimate child.

The story of Lot is almost as shocking. I'm sure my ADD will lead me to that story one day, too, but not today.
