Killing and taking wives I don't deny (the words that you quote)
Murder and rape (the words that you magic out of thin air) I deny, sure.
Can this be any clearer?
So, using your biblical logic, the man in Ohio who kidnapped three young women and raped them for years is your hero, after all, taking women against their will and making them 'wives' is a perfectly reasonable and justifiable thing to do. Using your biblical logic, once we invaded Iraq, it would have been just fine if we had killed their women and children (after all, it isn't murder in the eyes of your god).
"Whenever we read the obscene stories, the voluptuous debaucheries, the cruel and tortuous executions, the unrelenting vindictiveness with which more than half the Bible is filled, it would be more consistent that we call it the word of a demon than the word of a God. It is a history of wickedness that has served to corrupt and brutalize mankind; and, for my part, I sincerely detest it, as I detest everything that is cruel."

"In short, Meyer has shown that his first disastrous book was not a fluke: he is capable of going into any field in which he has no training or research experience and botching it just as badly as he did molecular biology. As I've written before, if you are a complete amateur and don't understand a subject, don't demonstrate the Dunning-Kruger effect by writing a book about it and proving your ignorance to everyone else!
