What IS good, and how do we determine it?

[Thumpalumpacus]

God raised the bar; instead of merely raping and moving on, the men were required to marry the girls and care for them. I suspect that in more than a few instances, rapes did NOT occur because the men did not want to marry as the law required. Thus, God's law probably saved quite a few women from being raped.

The odd thing is, your god didn't come out and say, "those women whose husbands you killed, help them out with food even if you don't rape them".

Now, when we conquered Germany in 1945, in the ensuing years, we not only flew a mighty airlift to Berlin in order to feed the children we'd made fatherless, in the face of Russian sanctions; we wrote essentially a blank check for the country in order that Germany could get back on its feet.

Compare that to your own god's dictate that "if you rape her, you're stuck with her".

How is it that your perfect god could not come up with a solution as beneficial as that of imperfect men?

Your god's laws might have saved "a few women" from being raped. But how many did it condemn to being raped and then hauled off to a foreign country as a war prize?

Was that the best your god could do, in moral terms?

Fuck me, what a disgusting apologia. You exemplify the moral corrosion Christianity inflicts upon its True Believers.

However, the passage in Dt. 21 does not speak of rape as it might occur in a random act; instead, it reveals that some thought and consideration was required. Rather than raping the woman in the heat of the moment, the Hebrews were required to wait a month before MARRYING the women.

That's not exactly the kind of story we hear about on the nightly news, is it? No, most rape stories don't suggest that the woman was taken into the home of the man, cleaned up (yeah, head shaved to eliminate lice, etc), dressed in new clothes, given an opportunity to mourn loved ones lost in the battle, MARRIED, and then...what? Raped? Against their wills?s

Maybe. Or maybe the women appreciated how well they had been treated by their captor. It was a different age, life was brutish, and war was not pretty.

But have any of you bleeding hearts stopped to consider what would have happened to these girls if the men had NOT been required to marry them?

You're right: a haircut, new clothing, and a month for mourning are just compensation for being kidnapped and forcibly fucked against your will until you succumb to Stockholm Syndrome and love your rapist.

I've heard that new prisoners get the same treatment in the American judicial system. Is that the best your little tin-horn godling can do?

That is what commands your worship?

You have no grounds to lecture anyone on morality.

Yeah. Cause there's no chance that these ladies ever came to love their husbands.

Please, read up on this. You're a victim of it, too.
