If I was to go out and rape the best looking young virgin girl I could find......... (page 11)

I like the quote from The Invention of Lying where the main character is trying to explain the concept of "The Man in the Sky" to the people of the town. One of the confused town's people says, "So... he's a good guy? But he's also kind of a prick?"

But yeah, trying to excuse the inexcusable. Pretty much sums it up. These things are inexcusable and unforgivable! Inexcusable for any person or any god. It pains and worries me to see people try to defend these things. Divine Command Theory in full effect!
I can't help but think that, if any of them had been personally sexually abused or raped themselves, how even the idea of having to spend the rest of their lives bound to their abuser, having to suffer more of that sexual abuse every day (under the command of God's law), would fill them with utter horror and revulsion. It's the stuff nightmares are made of and it would be enough to drive a woman to suicide for sure. But oh wait... that's a sin too. I guess she's stuck with being her rapist's plaything for the rest of her miserable life.

Snowbird, lets assume you are a soldier in the army of ancient Israel. If commanded to, would you take a sword and slay innocent children because of their parents sinful ways? Would you dash their children against rocks, just because your leader said that God commanded it? I know I couldnt, because of their inherently evil nature. I cant believe you can defend a scripture that essentially portrays women as possessions, with no real choice or power over the situation described in that verse. This edict has the same awful moral nihilism in it that the commands to commit genocide had. How would you react if raped and had to "belong" to your husband for your natural span as a result? Would you console yourself with various schemes to drive him crazy? Or would you just stab his ass to death as he slept?

THE GLADIATOR

Perhaps where you are going wrong is not understanding that like snowbird and Psacramento, "One must base their faith on reason."

Debating with these two accomplices is like trying to get a grip on an well greased frog!

The frog gets more and more slippery and devoid of all reason.

In your attempt to defend the indefensible, you both make a mockery of your god.

Shame on you both!

This is my take. To the ot god DOG, woman are absolutely nothing. They are not humans’ just mere property.

For those who believe that every syllable in the bible is from god mouth, then you should do exactly what scripture teaches every Christian. Here is what I believe is god’s take on woman:

1. God created women in the first place was to provide company and service to men (1 Corinthians 11:9).

2. Women are therefore completely subordinate to men (1 Corinthians 11:3).

3. Women were inferior creations from the start. Women are fond of self-indulgence (Isaiah 32:9-11).

4. They are silly and easily led into error (2 Timothy 3:6).

5. They are subtle and deceitful (Proverbs 7:10; Ecclesiastes 7:26).

6. They are zealous in promoting superstition and idolatry (Jeremiah 7:18; Ezekiel 13:17, 23).

7. They are active in instigating to iniquity (Numbers 31:15-16; 1 Kings 21:25; Nehemiah 13:26).

8. It was the inherent weakness of women that led them to be deceived by Satan (Genesis 3:1-6; 2 Corinthians 11:3; 1 Timothy 2:14).

9. Consequently, women were cursed from the start (Genesis 3:16).

10. A woman is never to open her mouth in church. She has nothing valuable to say and should limit her participation to asking her husband to explain things to her. (1 Corinthians 14:34-35).

11. Women should never be teachers because they are easily deceived. (1 Timothy 2:11-14).

12. A woman must obey her husband in all matters at all times. (Ephesians 5:22-24) (1 Corinthians 11:3) (Colossians 3:18).

13. God expressly says men are worth more, and actually provides dollar amounts proving this. (Leviticus 27:1-7).

14. A woman unclean after childbirth for seven days if the child is a boy, but she is unclean for twice as long if the child is a girl (Leviticus 12:1-5)

15. A woman must dress modestly and refrain from wearing expensive jewelry and a woman should wear her hair long (1 Timothy 2:9). (1 Corinthians 11:15).

16. You can’t trust in a woman's promises or guarantees (Ecclesiastes 7:26) (Numbers 30:12).

Take care,

Oh, come on!

They didn't rape those women!

They took them to their homes, and after allowing them a sufficient mourning period, married them.

Compassionate and practical, considering the times.

That must be the sickest statement I have ever read on this board.

You need help.

snowbird, you're probably one those that would call me a dirty pig because I look at women WILLINGLY doing porn, but would not chastise GOD for allowing women to be raped invoulantarily

MadGiant's post NAILED it.

Sit down and shut up you stupid wench! Indeed! *walks off in a huff to find some balls to put in a vise*

I love to insert this whenever I can. It shows the Bible's degrading view of women is still intact long after JC supposedly set the matter straight. The apostle Paul even claiming it wasn't his opinion, but God's. As he claims to molded by God's Holy spirit.

It illustrates it nicely, no?

Interesting!

A little bit about myself.

I am a Black female, age 56, from the Black Belt of Alabama - Wilcox County to be precise.

I have seen and heard some horrendous stuff in my lifetime - stuff that could easily hold its own in comparison to those accounts.

I am a believer in and worshipper of the God of the Bible.

I believe He is a God of love, mercy, and compassion, but sometimes His actions are beyond our ken, hence, I wouldn't be so presumptuous as to speak for Him.

I know we humans are capable of unimaginable evil, and believe that were it not for the fact that Adam was created upright, and we still possess some of that uprightness, we would have destroyed ourselves a long, long time ago!

PixieSticks, thank you for those references.

"Being on the horns of a dilemma" takes on a new perspective for me!

I've often wondered why some people do good while others do bad. Whence evil?

I've also noted that perpetrators of evil often blame everyone but themselves.

Those of you who are accusing God, have you considered that it's not God who has the problem?

Thank you.
