Do you have a Bible? If not, I'd be happy to supply you with one.
The Bible is not mis-translated; a fact strongly supported by the dead sea scrolls. They agree word for word with the modern translation. It has never been edited; Nothing has been omitted - The Hebrew scribes would not dare to edit or omit what they believed to be the words of God.
Hey Buzzkill, I HAVE A BIBLE. In fact, I got em all! Every version. And since you have proclaimed it the inerrent word of GOD, we are now able to explore the NATURE OF YOUR GOD according to his own word. Isn't that special.
Lets start with war...sure he is a bloody bastard and wants people to kill, but what of the women and children, what are we to do with them Buzzkill?
hmmm....
"And when the LORD thy God hath delivered it into thine hands, thou shalt smite every male thereof with the edge of the sword:
But the women, and the little ones, and the cattle, and all that is in the city, even all the spoil thereof, shalt thou take unto thyself; and thou shalt eat the spoil of thine enemies, which the LORD thy God hath given thee. "
Hey, not bad. we get to get all bloody, then rape women and children! What a deal.
thank you God!!!!!
Wait you say, do we really get to rape em? Show me some support for that, otherwise I, the great Buzzkill, ain't raping nobody!!!
Okay buzzkill, you are free to unzip but you gotta hold her captive a little while first....
"When thou goest forth to war against thine enemies, and the LORD thy God hath delivered them into thine hands, and thou hast taken them captive,
And seest among the captives a beautiful woman, and hast a desire unto her, that thou wouldest have her to thy wife;
Then thou shalt bring her home to thine house, and she shall shave her head, and pare her nails;
And she shall put the raiment of her captivity from off her, and shall remain in thine house, and bewail her father and her mother a full month: and after that thou shalt go in unto her, and be her husband, and she shall be thy wife.
And it shall be, if thou have no delight in her, then thou shalt let her go whither she will; but thou shalt not sell her at all for money, thou shalt not make merchandise of her, because thou hast humbled her."
Hey Buzzkill even tho you got to wait a while, you get to shave her head and kick her out later if she is a lousy lay!!!
Damn, Im starting to think God is pretty one sided here.
Buzzkill, you may ask, but surely I can only rape CAPTURED women, not just any women on the street.
OH right you are Buzzkill! Damn your sharp. BUT, there is an exit clause! Just marry her and pay her father, and all is well!!! What fun!!!!
"If a man is caught in the act of raping a young woman who is not engaged, he must pay fifty pieces of silver to her father. Then he must marry the young woman because he violated her, and he will never be allowed to divorce her."
Oh, surely Buzzkill, you must think...but what of married women, can I rape them Too? Eh, perhaps not a good idea, my man..because then you BOTH GET THE DEATH SENTENCE. Good call buddy!!!!!
" If within the city a man comes upon a maiden who is betrothed, and has relations with her, you shall bring them both out of the gate of the city and there stone them to death: the girl because she did not cry out for help though she was in the city, and the man because he violated his neighbors wife."
And my good man Buzzkill, what does Jeessuss think of all of this? Surely he must rebuke the old testment, surely? Right?
Right?
Care to further quote scripture?
