Quote:Umm, that passage isn't about human sacrifice. Jephthah offered his daughter to the Lord for lifelong service in chastity. Human sacrifice was forbidden under the law:
Um AND HE DID TO HER AS HE HAD VOWED
I admire your ability to so finely parse a phrase but the simple fact remains that if your bible bullshit were true ( which it isn't ) this would have been a HUMAN FUCKING SACRIFICE....the kid still ended up DEAD.
Quote:The Book of Judges describes Jephthah as leading the Israelites in battle against Ammon and, as the result of a rash vow, sacrificing his daughter after defeating the Ammonites.
