If you capture a hot babe in your war with your enemies and you want to ravish her, you have to give her a full month to mourn her family which you put to the sword (see Deut 20:13-14). After that point, you can rape her. We'll slap a "marriage" label on it to try to sanitize the rape but since her consent isn't requested or required, it's still rape. If you don't enjoy raping her, you have to let her go. You can't sell her.
So prove to us how you make this leap please DP. Surely you can show your exegesis of the text, and you're not just pulling all of this from your rectum?

I pretty much concur with your stance on animal suffering Mr P.
The above statement continues with your absurd theme though. This isn't Christian morality at all, but a strawman to justify your otherwise fanciful dismissal. If you can't address serious opposition rather than this caricature then I think that speaks volumes of your credibility in it.
