Rape is nowhere commanded By God, or through God by way of Moses. You are getting denser with every post. It's been explained to you thoroughly you just stubbornly refuse take your fingers out of your ears and listen to reason. "Two days in a row he was so plastered he didn't know what was going on." That's what the text says isn't it????? Why then: when you read it, do you see God commanding rape??? "I simply used the scripture to show how indecent and UNHOLY the Bible is." No: What you do is misquote, misapply and twist the text to say what you wished it said and project your own perverted thoughts onto it. For instance: ""For your own use" is not a difficult line to comprehend now, is it??" That the Girls who were allowed to live either became servants or wives is a perfectly legitimate and reasonable understanding of the text that is in line with the context of the rest of the bible where as you noted Rape was a crime. ((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." Sure you are. "he was acting in a manner that is clearly devoid of any humanitarian sentiment but rather with the simple-minded hellishness and deviltry" First: as noted you are purposely ignoring the text and reading your own fantasy into the situation. Going so far as to invent imaginary scenarios where envision soldiers examining Hymens. A much simpler way would be for the soldiers to simply take pre pubescent, unmarried girls, back to the camp and let the women examine them. You show zero understanding of ancient practices. If rape was what they were up to then they would not have raped them and kept them alive since raping them would defile both of them and also render the girls unsuitable to become wives. Second You are indeed pronouncing moral judgments on the actions of others but as an atheist you have undercut any basis for you to do so. You are out on a limb and sawing away.
