RE: Why do so many of you quote the bible and do nothing what says in it

I posted the wrong verse, sorry.
You would be complaining if they killed the children, and you would be complaining if they didn't. How are you supposed to take captive an entire village in the ancient world and keep them alive without them rebelling against you? Are you a military expert?
That verse teaches a distinction between consensual sexual activity and non-consensual. It most definitely punishes rape with death, it also punishes adultery with death.
It is almost like all atheists have resources where they cut and paste phoney Bible studies without any of them having a knowledge of the Greek and Hebrew. These issues have been covered a million times, the Bible does not sanction rape. It punishes adultery. Atheists take complicated teachings of scripture and make them fit their own pressupositions, but they have never been trained in exegesis, and frankly, they don't want to learn (another thread on this).
How are you supposed to teach people who refuse to learn? The Bible was not written in the english language or english culture you know, and it is not intended to be interpreted with a wooden literalism.
