The adults were evil to the point of burning their own babies alive and were judged.
The children killed went to heaven.
The women taken ended up as wives, not slaves. They would have been put into arranged marriages anyway, and in a culture in which they would have been expected to toss some of their babies into a fire.
All you have is appeal to emotion, which is mostly based on the fact that most readers here don't come from societies which practice arranged marriage.
Quote:Exactly, let's save them from the arranged marriages by slaughtering everyone they know and love and taking them home with us to be our wives.
It's not wives, it's wives. The law was clear that these women became wives with full rights, and if divorced went free.
Quote:I did suggest for the longest time that you didn't need the story or to justify it, didn't I?
Yes, it's a typical part of your sophistry.
