Nothing is "proven" by your post except your arrogance and your inability to comprehend simple truths like the FACT that what you quoted was from a relatively modern translation (probably 17th century and using the word translation loosely) of ancient texts, which were themselves written versions of even more ancient oral accounts based on even more ancient historical events that may or may not have happened at all, much less as they are told today. They were told and then written to convey a message and not as purely factual histories. If you don't understand that, then you are an idiot. You also seem to have trouble with the simple notion that society and its standards of morality have evolved over the millennia since the men in those stories made war on each other and treated the women of their society as property. That you think out of context bits of Old Testament stories prove your apparent belief (or rhetorical point you are obsessed with making) that Christianity today (and by extension Judaism and Islam since these texts are part of those religions, too) is evil only proves your ignorance. You can write all the lengthy, ranting, incoherent posts you want, but you will only expose the greater depth of your arrogance, intolerance and ignorance. I await your "no, you are!" response.
