Which proves my point. It is likely that you are not intentionally ignoring the plain text of your bible, but it is such an antithesis of your good morality that your mind rejects it. I can accept that.
I do not believe that you would even consider rape, slavery, or the oppression of women as acceptable. Based on your earlier posts, I believe that you are too good of a person for that. You see people as more than property.
Unfortunately, the morality of yesteryear was a much different thing. Which leads me to believe that there is such a thing as objective morality, devoid of religion, and continuously evolving outside of the various immoral texts that many religions hold dear.
Which is why women who are Christians, Jews, and Muslims and live today, and share that morality, are better than these texts. And why would they would adore them? That was the first question, and I think this has shown the answer - because they cannot see the problem either.
