King David and Bath Sheba

While the biblical story of king David and Bath-Sheba and his overwhelming treachery committed in the name of pure greed and lust are not totally unheard of in the world of religion it's one that adherents of Christian ideology definitely do not go out of their way to make known simply due its overly embarrassing and treacherous overtones.
Despite King David's Machiavellian ventures he ironically still remains one of the most unquestionably popular and revered bibli¬cal characters third only to god and his supposed son Jesus, how anyone could do the things David blatantly did while remaining so highly coveted and central to Christianity remains a total mystery to me.
Presented in this book are all of the sordid details concerning king David's forays into the world of adultery, deceit, kidnapping, the killing of his own son and the murder of an innocent and unquestionably loyal soldier for the sole purpose of appropr¬iating his wife and all of the creature comforts concomitant with a female companion.
Also discussed is god's grisly act of infanticide, the almighty obviously having forgotten about one of his own supposedly sacred laws ("Thou shalt not kill." Exodus 20:13) and finding it far more convenient to simply murder the child as a form of punishme¬nt rather than directly punish the individual solely responsible for all of this drama in the first place. This would obviously make too much sense as such lowly logic is far too rudimentary for god's paramount intellect.
Ecumenically, this book presents the entire story of king David and Bath-Sheba in a manner you will most likely never hear during the church sermon or study group, the author having chosen to take off the proverbial gloves when revealing the true nature of events that took place (according to the bible, that is) as this story has been told in a sanitary manner for far too long.
