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.
You are assuming the worse for these girls/women and without any evidence as to how they were treated, why? Is it because that's what you want it to be, is it that you hate Christianity that much, what?
Okay I misstated rape as only physical abuse, though most rapes are violent for the woman involved. I doubt they had drugs they used in rape during those days. You do not know they were conditioned and as for slavery you are associating the slavery of the early America with that of Israel. The slavery in Israel was more of a servant type, but yes it was slavery nevertheless.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
