"Only the young girls who are virgins may live; you may keep them for yourselves." Numbers 31:18

Hmm, tell me dear Bill, where does it say you may keep them, but don''t touch them! Answer: It doesn''t because it''s well understood that you may keep them "for yourselves," means that you may do with them what you like! The Bible condones the rape of virgins, though only under limited circumstances, so read carefully before you go a''raping!

"I will gather all the nations against Jerusalem for battle: the city shall be taken, houses plundered, women ravished; half of the city shall go into exile, but the rest of the people shall not be removed from the city." Zechariah 14:1-2 NAB

Of course, for Bill, ravished doesn''t mean raped because Bill sees only what he wants to see! - Posted by Voltaire333 at 07:13 PM : Apr 09, 2008

Does this say anything like:

Thou shalt plunder, rape and pillage to thine heart%u2019s content, whensoever and wheresoever thou chooseth, and upon questioning by the King%u2019s henchmen, tell unto them that biblical authority granteth thee immunity from prosecution.

If you really want to pick and choose to find something that will support your position, try the dictionary. It is full of silly words, many of which can be twisted and rearranged to mean anything you want.

The point of debate you seem to be missing is that regardless of how %u201Cfull of silliness%u201D the Bible may be, the actual text contained therein does not support any claims that criminal or immoral acts are condoned.

Wow! You really are quite the republican! With the facts staring you right in the face, you continue to deny, deny, deny! Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain, he''s just an illusion! LOL

"When a man sells his daughter as a slave, she will not be freed at the end of six years as the men are. If she does not PLEASE the man who bought her, he may allow her to be bought back again. But he is not allowed to sell her to foreigners, since he is the one who broke the contract with her. And if the slave girl''s owner arranges for her to marry his son, he may no longer treat her as a slave girl, but he must treat her as his daughter. If he himself marries her and then takes another wife, he may not reduce her food or clothing or fail to sleep with her as his wife." Exodus 21:7-11 NLT

God bless the Bible! It authorizes so much!

*** the text and follow that book of being good that you were born with. This church and those that practice its beliefs are an abomination of mankind. And let God figure out what hell they must pay, but give that chance to God with a fast bullet to their brains.

Exactly how does this support your argument that the Bible condones rape, child molestation and armed compounds populated by religious zealots? Posted by BillORights at 06:51 PM : Apr 09, 2008

"After she has mourned her father and mother for a full month, you may have relations with her . . . but you shall not sell her or enslave her, since she was married to you under compulsion." Deuteronomy 21:10-14 NAB

Billy boy, what is it about "relations" under "compulsion" that you don''t understand?

[yongamerica]

How dare you take away my fuzzy puzzy brothel away from me? I love little girls in curls and lots of rouge. No one can take away my God given right to having as many wives (****** blessed by god) as I want! This is America by God, where its accepted to prey upon the meek and defenseless, God bless them all.

I''m going to have a gun engraved for your birthday that says "Jesus Loves Winners! Bang, bang, you''re dead, godless liberal!" - Posted by voltaire333 at 06:50 PM : Apr 09, 2008

You must be an almost-graduate of the Evelyn Woodhead sped reddin%u2019 course. Perhaps you should learn to read more carefully, without skipping over relevant passages. You are missing quite a bit.

The point of debate you seem to be missing is that regardless of how %u201Cfull of silliness%u201D the Bible may be, the actual text contained therein does not support any claims that criminal or immoral acts are condoned.

If the Bible text refers to God killing all living things in a flood, except those kept on the ark with Noah, does that extrapolate to suggesting it would be a good or justifiable thing for anyone else to flood the earth and kill all living things?

please read the passage below to me and explain to me what part of "kill . . . infants" you don''''t understand - Posted by voltaire333 at 06:45 PM : Apr 09, 2008

I understand that it is a specious argument that does not support your position.

If you want this specific verse to support your position, you are going to have to find a new position to which it might be relevant. Until then, you are off the mark.

Hmmm, and I thought Christians didn''t like baby killers! Guess I got that one wrong! - Posted by voltaire333 at 06:12 PM : Apr 09, 2008

Where does this say God wants anyone other than Saul to do as commanded, at that time, in that place? How can you extrapolate from this text that the Bible suggests killing is a good thing? The point was not about killing, per se. It was about doing as commanded.
