Primordial Sex--Eden as Allegory

[chi pan]

Deuteronomy 22:28-29
If a man is caught in the act of raping a young woman who is not engaged, he must pay fifty pieces of silver to her father. Then he must marry her because he has violated her.

How is that not sexist? Is that the justice you would want for your daughter, sister, etc. if that were to happen to them? Does the fact that we put rapists in jail make man's law more moral and just than biblical law?

this is punishment for what the man did. are you really comparing today's culture to the law in the old testiment without looking at the culture? all women did back then and all they ever wanted to do was marry, take care of their husbands and raise a family. if she is defiled, then no man will want to marry her so, in order to make sure the woman is not deprived of her goal in life for something that wasn't her fault, they force the man to have her. whether you think that's right or not, that's how it was. don't try to compare ancient law to modern culture.

Leviticus 20:13
If a man lies with a man as one lies with a woman, both of them have done the detestable. They must be put to death.
How is that not homophobic?

how about the fact that just b/c it's illegal doesn't mean it's feared. homophobic was a word invented by gays in order to convince others they are hated. the fact is it is not feared just illegal the same way adultery, fornication, and such are ilegal. does that make the bible adulterphobic? fornicationphobic?

Let's not forget that incest is also OK, so long as daddy is pissed and his daughter makes the first move.

completely not true. incest is clearly defigned as wrong in the bible no matter who makes the first move.
