Christians celebrate rape, torture, slavery and genocide.

[Darkstar]

They didn't call it rape because forcing your wife into sex was legal; we would call it rape because that isn't legal here. The better question is which definition of rape is better?

And that's a completely subjective question. If you were brought up in another time and place, you might have a very different opinion on it.

Maybe, but would it be right? Suffering unnecesarily is generally bad; can we agree on this first point?

Which part isn't true? (honest question)

The absolute control part. The woman would have legal protections afforded any other citizen. The regulations specifically say she was not to be treated as a slave.

Okay. I was going to ask you in what ways it differed, but I did some research myself. Women are still treated like they are inferior, but not the same as slaves.

But to take this little gem semi-seriously, it isn't the proclamation that one's opinion is correct that is troubling, but the failure to follow through with a compelling reason that it is correct.

This.
