Very cool
 Mythology is a never ending fascination sort of subject. If I had a bunch of money to waste on an education I would major in it just so I could teach it and talk about it all day lol.

Ya know at this end of history I wish I had!!

look, you asked if there was evidence i said there is no evidence. i also said individuals do not punish crimes, government does and since modern governments don't have women marry their rape victims, that's not how they get punished today. i don't know how to make this any more clear.
Oh! thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
Between their loved home and the war's desolation! Blest with victory and peace, may the heav'n rescued land Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation. Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just, And this be our motto: "In God is our trust." And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave! -4th verse of the american national anthem RE: Primordial Sex--Eden as Allegory

The issue has never been about governments, I know how governments stand today because they tell us from their own mouths. It's about what God thinks about rape victims today and you have not made that clear in any way shape or form. I requote myself: I think...in fact I know....you just can't admit that you're following a religion that has no compassion whatsoever for rape victims and MANY other atrocities. ~*~Your beliefs don't make you a better person, your behavior does ~*~

well God thinks it's an evil act. just b/c the punishment didn't seam that bad to you doesn't mean God didn't think it was bad. he always thought it was an evil act.
1 Corinthians 6:9-11 "Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God." Galatians 5:19-21 "Now the works of the flesh are evident: sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality, idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, rivalries, dissensions, divisions, envy, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these. I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God."

Instead he sees the VICTIM as damaged goods and only worthy of her attacker since he knew her carnally, showing complete disregard for her emotional trauma whatsoever. ~*~Your beliefs don't make you a better person, your behavior does ~*~
