Rape in the Bible

[abaris]

@OP: If you read further, you'll find regulations regarding the treatment of females captured in war. They were to be brought into the captor's house, given 30 days to mourn, then married. In that culture, that wasn't rape. By today's Western consent standards, yes, you can say it was rape. Of course, considering the prevalence of arranged marriage across time and cultures, by those standards the majority of women who have lived were raped. And maybe you think that, but I don't think most people are so judgmental of other cultures.

But it's supposed to be a god handing out these laws. If he handed out different laws, by your own definition of faith, they would have fallen to their knees and kissed his ass.

As I said, I'm perfectly aware of the times and the cultures. But it's no mitigating factor for a supposed higher, timeless and omniscient being to hand out disgusting procedures. And the doubling down factor of the disgusting is the fact that christian leaders still cry at the top of their lungs for women to know their place. So, good job, little if anything learned in 3000 years.
