Lol the bible is actually ok with pedophilia, proof from passage

[Inkfeather132]

This wasn't even about the rape of an adult woman (which is still wrong), it was about the fact that the passage specifies that the prisoners are female children. Sorry, but in my opinion sex with a child is always rape. I don't care how gentle it is, I don't care if she's married to you, if she's a child it is rape. But wait, don't tell me. The Bible obviously meant that the guy would wait to have sex with her until after she had been his slave for a decade and had Stockholm Syndrome, right?

 Where does it say that they married them while they were children, you are good at putting everyone in the same category. I also explained that the women/children would die on there own, they had no way to make a living and people couldn't afford to take them in even if they could reach other people, a war was going on.

Also I got to thinking, rape is a lot about violence and domination. Well the passage does mention shaving her head and humbling her, so yeah. Going through the ceremony and then consummating the marriage before deciding it's not working out could be part of the humbling experience, so the rape thing still fits.

No it doesn't because rape is more about brutality, sex is secondary.

Women/children would die on their own you say? Well maybe they shouldn't have killed their husbands/brothers, or is god not smart enough to think of that? Also, if this is about providing for the children, why were the little boys not spared? Only the female children were spared, GC. Not the little male children, and not the adult women. This was absolutely not about providing for the defenseless when they had orders to kill most of the defenseless.

As for rape being primarily about brutality, you are absolutely wrong. It's about people taking what they want with no thought for what the victim wants. It doesn't have to be brutal at all, some girls go down without even a fight because they're drugged by someone they trust. Sometimes young people are tricked/manipulated into doing something they didn't really want to do. Rape is much broader than just "brutality". And as I said in my post, which you conveniently ignored, even if they were married as adults, that would only be after years of slavery and conditioning. They would lack the ability and right to say no, and therefore can't give true consent. That means it would still be rape.
