How stupid do you have to be?...

[Esquilax]

Do you have any idea of what 50 shekels amounted to? no one knows for sure but it was a king's ransom for sure. (Christ was sold out for only 30 shekels. 1500 years later) With that same 30 Judas' 'resting place' was purchased.

The 80 shekels was a deterrent. and if one could not pay he would have been sold into slavery till he could pay off his debt.

Without proper context, I agree it seems like a pittance. In context it is something to be feared.

Okay, let's sum up, shall we?

A man rapes a woman (immoral) and is punished by having to pay 50 shekels (immoral.) You claim that this is a lot of money, essentially turning the woman who was just raped (immoral) into an expensive novelty good (immoral.) Your defense to this is that 50 shekels is a lot of money, you guys (if not immoral, a total dick move.)

The woman, meanwhile, would be sold to her rapist (immoral) and if the rapist can't pay, then he's sold into slavery himself (immoral) until he's paid his (immoral) debt, instead of going to prison (immoral.) Oh, and he might not get out of slavery, of course: the old testament also has provisions for the owners of a debt slave (immoral) to keep them forever by giving them a wife (immoral) and essentially tricking them into retaining their life of slavery or lose their family (immoral.)

If the debt slave rapist (double whammy immoral) manages to avoid this and pays off his debt, he is given his victim as a wife (immoral.) And according to you, this is a punishment, when viewed in context.

The context being important somehow, despite your view that the two thousand year old rules in the new testament still apply today without change, despite the massive shift of context between then and now.

Awful lot of immorality from the good book, hmm?
