Rape is brutal non-consensual sex, rape is more about violence than it is sex. You haven't proven it would be non-consensual sex, you are assuming it was non-consensual.
The land was promised to the Israelites long before they came out of Egypt, this is the land God gave to Abraham. The Israelites had to take the land because others were occupying it. As the Israelites were defeating their enemies what were they to do with these women, turn them loose that would have meant certain death for them. God had the Israelites to take these women in and give them an opportunity at a life. You keep referring to those times as if they were the same as today when they were not, it was a totally different world. The women taken were in need of men to survive (this was the way the whole world worked) and so I would say they were able to accept their situation.
You have an unrealistic idea about slavery, individual criminal organizations run the slave trade of today not countries. Those who engage in this type of slavery are criminals also, that's the way the world works today.

This wasn't even about the rape of an adult woman (which is still wrong), it was about the fact that the passage specifies that the prisoners are female children. Sorry, but in my opinion sex with a child is always rape. I don't care how gentle it is, I don't care if she's married to you, if she's a child it is rape. But wait, don't tell me. The Bible obviously meant that the guy would wait to have sex with her until after she had been his slave for a decade and had Stockholm Syndrome, right?
Where does it say that they married them while they were children, you are good at putting everyone in the same category. I also explained that the women/children would die on there own, they had no way to make a living and people couldn't afford to take them in even if they could reach other people, a war was going on.

Going through the ceremony and then consummating the marriage before deciding it's not working out could be part of the humbling experience, so the rape thing still fits.
No it doesn't because rape is more about brutality, sex is secondary.

It doesn't help that the bible seems to lay most of the blame on mankind's fall on Eve, when both she and Adam ate the fruit. Nevermind the problems that come from taking the story literally anyway.
Men must have really hated that women had any kind of control over them, in the form of being willing to do just about anything for sex. So they demonized sex, and called any woman who enjoyed sex bad for it.
You will find every Christian believes that Adam is to blame and the Bible approaches it that way also.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
