I pointed out that whether you think the story is allegorical or literal god was clearly commanding the men to rape.
God in the story was commanding them to rape. God in real life, on the other hand, I don't believe ever did this.
As I said before, the OT God is portrayed through the filter of man, who wrote it. The OT was not written by God Himself, and so it is not infallible.

That's some world class mental gymnastics you got going on there.
It is what the Church teaches.
So you don't think these stories are allegoric , you think these stories are just wrong? How do you know which parts of the bible are right?
