Deuteronomy 22:28-29 (NIV)
28 If a man happens to meet a virgin who is not pledged to be married and rapes her and they are discovered, 29 he shall pay her father fifty shekels of silver. He must marry the young woman, for he has violated her. He can never divorce her as long as he lives.
In this case they're more bothered about her being betrothed, not raped. It's perceived as a slur upon another male, theft from him if you like. Nothing to do with the dignity of the woman.
I've already quoted huge chunks of Dt. 22. And since she found chapter 21, I presume she can read chapter 22 for herself. She won't...because....but she could.
Excuse me, but did you miss the fact that I have read the Bible many times and that I know exactly what it says?
Fuck.
You.
Quote:Metis- I appreciate your comments about the NT, but I own the OT, too. Becca's insistence on viewing God as a moral monster in the OT sets the stage that I must act upon.
My insistence? You're the one proving it. I don't have to do shit.
Quote:Consequently, I continue to point out that while the treatment of women captured in war or raped seems repugnant to us today, the Law of God was nothing short of revolutionary in its day and a huge improvement over the other nations with whom God did not covenant Himself.
Yep. You continue to point it out... and you continue to fail.
Quote:God does not condone rape.
Still waiting for a Bible verse in which there is any justice for rape; haven't seen one yet.
Nolite te bastardes carborundorum.
