Rape in the Bible

[robvalue]

Did they get away with it in court on religious grounds?

Surely not! That is utter horse shit if they did. The law should always trump superstition.

[John V]

Yes...two dudes getting it on consensually is what "sex" is. A crowd of men having their way with a woman without any regard for her consent is what "gang rape" is. How hard is that to understand?

That's easy to understand, but that's not the scenario given. The very reason that the women were offered was because the gang wouldn't take "no" for an answer regarding the men. They were near to breaking the door down to get at the men. Yet, you guys try to spin it as consensual. Interesting.

You give another possible reason that Lot was punished. Thanks!

Oh sure, he was very badly punished. The poor man was even coerced into drunkenly fucking and impregnating his daughters. At least he had wine and good company in this cave of his.

So what can we learn from this nice little story? Pimping to be gang raped and fucking the own daughter. Still worthy to be saved. Sodomy, very bad, justifies genocide.

If you can get away with killing children through neglect, and claim religion as an excuse, I don't see why you can't get away with rape by claiming religion as an excuse.

Do you mean things like refusing blood transfusions?

Has someone actually used that as a valid defence then? (In recent times)

No, I mean telling a judge that your child died while you were trying to faith heal him, and the judge letting you go.

Huh? Who the hell is spinning it to be consensual? Lot offered his daughter up like a lambchop to a pack of fucking wild dogs. Nothing consensual about it.

Lot was in a desperate situation which would not have even come about if not for the gang that wanted to rape his guests. Yes, they clearly deserve far worse punishment than Lot. It's only your bias that blinds you to this.

That has happened? I'm very shocked. No judge should accept such crap.

I mean, religious beliefs can be anything. I can claim my religion tells me to buttfuck my child in order to heal it. Or that it's essential to poke out one of its eyes.

At least most religious types secretly know that praying will do fuck all and still take their kid to the doctor. It's an admission that in fact God won't save your child.

Then thank dog I'm biased on this one. Couldn't bear to look in a mirror thinking differently.

Utter abandoning of one's humanity in order to justify crusty old Bronze Age superstitious tome.

Sad.

it's sacrificing reason on the altar of superstition
