Theists: Hitchens Wager

[Edwardo Piet]

Yes. At the time this was written (which was several thousands of years ago) marrying the person you raped was a step towards a moral awakening and moral responsibility. Because back then, women who were raped were considered impure and were pretty much either left for the wolves or killed.

The Old Testament needs to be taken in the context of what it meant for the people of the time. It represents a moral awakening. This does not mean rape is or ever was objectively good.

That is a twisted revisionist excuse for a historical moral travesty.  It belittles you to try and aplogise for the moral failures of the past.

If you can be oblivious for years, what does that say about your ability to look at things objectively? That's a blind spot probably worth some self-reflection.  

How important do you think critical thinking skills are to Poker?

Listen up! If you want to debate the debating skills of certain forum members, start your own fucking thread! I don't give a shit! Now, back to the OP!

Haha thanks! He did start this this time. Lol.

On the compatibility thread I teased CL about her being compatible with Khem, because I know she doesn't like him. And that lead to a digression that was a lot of fun but ended up being us ranting about Khem, lol.

But... this time THIS TIME henryp actually brought it up randomly! I didn't start this! I'm glad you noticed!
