They were the people who were deceitfull, who made the Israelites turn from the path and sin and have plaque. They were instructed to completely annihilate them so the Israelites wouldn't be strayed again later. What you still don't get is that war was everywhere you looked at that time. It was different times and societal norms. ...

Right, you believe every girl's dream is to have sex with a man who murdered her friends and relatives, her parents, her brothers, and her married sisters. If you read the Bible, they are not taken only if they want to marry their parents' murderers; they are taken if they have not been married. There is no concern expressed about "consent." And consent is essential for it not being rape. Surely, you cannot be as stupid as you are pretending to be.
