<< ... the bible teaches that a father may sell his daughter for a slave, [Ex. xxi. 7.] that he may sacrifice her purity to a mob, [Judges xix. 24.] and that he may murder her, and still be a good father and a holy man. >> I wonder how many true believers are drawn to "their" vision of a god because of ONLY this part of the bible? I scares me. << It teaches that a man may have any number of wives; that he may sell them, give them away, or change them around, and still be a perfect gentleman, a good husband, a righteous man, and one of God's most intimate friends; >> I can see why many men are drawn to this type of religion. Sounds like MY kind of god! Where do I join! <g> << It tells that God commanded Moses and Eleazar, the priest, to produce vice and perpetrate crime on an unparalleled scale. It tells us that they obeyed the order, and that 16,000 helpless girls were dragged in the mire of infamy and divided amongst the victorious soldiers. >> They can keep THEIR concept and presumption of god and I will keep mine. Thanks for the information. I was almost going to convert! <g>
