Free For all - Open Discussions and DebatesGod wants us to kill HomosexualsThere's another point I forgot to include. You say '400 virgins were not raped they were given in marriage' and you attempt to pre-empt the obvious argument to that by saying 'If you know anything about ancient and modern cultures marriages were/are arranged, the groom and bride do not have a choice in who they marry.' I am very aware of the culture of forced marriage, and the misery it causes millions of people all over the world. A woman cannot be 'forced' to love a man. These virgins were put through a terrifying ordeal and were no doubt mourning the loss of their loved ones when they were forcibly taken by these men and made to marry them. The men would then feel they had the right to do whatever they wanted with the women who had no say in the matter. Maybe you don't have as strongly developed a moral sense as I do on these matters, but in my book that is still RAPE! A husband can be guilty of raping his wife. You may argue that this sort of conduct was normal for the culture and the period, but we're talking about the Word of God here! You would be fond of saying no doubt that God's law is greater than secular law. So where was God's law here? |
