"First: there is no "command" to rape anyone certainly not by God."

I said "THROUGH GOD", didn't I?? The guy who wrote the Pentateuch (lol) and commanded his soldiers to butcher every human being except for the virgins to be kept alive for the use of the soldiers was an agent of God. He was acting for the interests and to the planning of God for His Chosen People. If God had found these rapes to be counter to his desires he would have done two things: he would have had Moses note it thusly in the scriptures and he would have done some godly slaying and butchery his own self.

"Lot was completely unaware of the incident because His daughters got him too drunk to know what was going on"

LOL!! Two days in a row he was so plastered he didn't know what was going on, eh!!?? And was he plastered, as well, when he offered them up to be gang banged!!??

Do you think he was an unfit parent whose kids should have been taken away or was he merely "just" and "righteous"??!! ;-)

"you deny that they are historical"
Tribal mythology.

"what do you care if certain people decided to sleep with their father."

I simply used the scripture to show how indecent and UNHOLY the Bible is. I would like to see primitive religions go the way of the dodo bird so that humanity can embrace reason and common interests and leave behind hatred and strife stemming from superstitious nonsense.

"The Girls who were allowed to live either became servants or wives"

When you butcher a child's family and take her to wherever your tribe is camping and then put your penis in her, it is RAPE. She is not willingly being violated by the butchers of her loved ones. Don't act stupid. "For your own use" is not a difficult line to comprehend now, is it??

"Why are you trying to impose your own subjective opinions onto another society that did what they did according to their own Laws and morality?"

I'm not. I fully understand that they did it and I fully understand that the rapes commanded by Moses (through God) were not unique. I am simply demonstrating (through scripture) that when Moses furthered God's interests and "Chosen People" plans for that particular tribe who jotted down that nonsense, he was acting in a manner that is clearly devoid of any humanitarian sentiment but rather with the simple-minded hellishness and deviltry common to primitive tribes who always saw themselves as "the people" and others as objects. This is well known to anthropologists and is noted throughout history and all the way to the current time.

"That's just your fantasy that you are reading into the text."

No. It is not a fantasy, at all. Clearly, it was of critical importance that ONLY the virgins be brought back to be raped and wifed. So one can imagine the murderous bastards examining the children for intact hymens. Do you know of another way for a butchering soldier to assess virginity???
