Genesis 9 — Noah cursed Canaan for Ham's sin because Canaan was likely complicit, not just punished for his father's actions

Mike reads the curse of Canaan (Genesis 9) plainly — Noah cursed Canaan, not Ham. He acknowledges the surface-level unfairness but argues the text gives us only a partial account. Ham's sin (whatever it was — possibly more perverse than a simple accidental viewing of nudity) likely involved Canaan as well. Canaan may have participated in or perpetuated the sin. Mike's principle: filling in the blanks with "there must have been more" is more intellectually honest than demanding the text provide all details and then calling it unjust.
