<You don't like the penalty but that's because you are judging ancient people according to your modern standards and emotional feelings.> Um, but wackos like you do that ALL THE TIME whenever you quote scripture. You make no allowance for loss of meaning over time either by transcription/translation OR societal changes. Calling kettle black. DAK

"Citing a passage that set the penalty for a crime hardy shows that rape is commanded in the bible." The "penalty" was compensation to the father. It shows that the rape itself was not considered an offense against the girl. And the small financial penalty is simply alms to the culture...RIGHT?? Look at Lot (the "just and righteous of GOD") offering his two daughters to a gang bang. This is the "morality" of primitive savages wandering about in sand... Look at Moses COMMANDING his men to butcher women unless they were virgins? Keep the virgins for your own use. Would you have spoken out against either the butchery or the rape?? Or would you have been a "righteous" general??? Talk straight, fella. I'm tired of your smart talk.
