Deuteronomy 22:28-29

English Standard Version (ESV)

28 “If a man meets a virgin who is not betrothed, and seizes her and lies with her, and they are found, 29 then the man who lay with her shall give to the father of the young woman fifty shekels of silver, and she shall be his wife, because he has violated her. He may not divorce her all his days.

Note: our xtian friend will doubtless quibble because the term used is "violated" rather than "raped." These people are not called literalists for nothing.

Still....one can hardly expect one of these asshole jesus freaks who bothers translating this drivel to say "and he fucketh the shit out of her."

When you don't read the Bible and just cut and paste from the internet you skip over verses that precede it like verse 25. If this is your standard of research than any knowledge claims can definitely be doubted. From your last comment I can see the pattern that's so common from evolutionist/atheists that your beliefs are held on to for emotional reasons and not logical.

Deut. 22:25
But if a man find a betrothed damsel in the field, and the man force her, and lie with her: then the man only that lay with her shall die:

I don't see why this standard of empathy and community should be adopted over any other. How can you justify that people's rights are even important?

Rights are the social recognition of your identity as a human being. It is the sanction given as a result of acceptance of your capacity for autonomy and rationality. That is how you justify rights.

You're begging the question here. Why is your autonomy more superior than James Holme's autonomy to kill 12 and injure 50 in the theatres of Colorado? I don't see how this is rational either. It's still your standard of morality against somebody else's.
