Deuteronomy Wrote:22:28 If a man find a damsel that is a virgin, which is not betrothed, and lay hold on her, and lie with her, and they be found;
22:29 Then the man that lay with her shall give unto the damsel's father fifty shekels of silver, and she shall be his wife; because he hath humbled her, he may not put her away all his days.
So if you rape a woman you have to then pay her father to marry her.
If you claim that the bible is the source of infallible truth and complete morality then by your own claim you must agree with it. If you don't, then it is not infallible, it is not completely moral. It is as simple as that, I'm sorry you have a hard time understanding it.
That's not proof! It's a cultural directive relevant to it's time, and of relevance to us now if we understand it's meaning to them then, which we do.
Like I said, none of those so called debunks hold water.
