Re: God Allowed Rape?

but what about the 2 year olds and the 1 year olds?

You forget that to the warped fundy mind these children are not innocent, they are rancid with sin just as the rest of us are!

It is easy to think like a fundy.

Re: God Allowed Rape?

God was already determined to exterminate the Canaanites and other surrounding countries.

Got a reference for this?

( Some scientists after discovering the horrible things being done by these people even questioned: 'why did not God destroy these people earlier'? They were amazed, aghast, offended by what they discovered: children burned as sacrifices, rampant sexual urges, cruelty, etc.

'Some' scientists isn't really very convincing. Any names and any evidence to support ANYTHING in the quote?

I don't know about you. But, which is more cruel leave them orphans and let these babies fend for themselves, or kill them along w/ their parents?

Why did they have to become orphans?

Why did God command the Israelites to kill women when they conquered certain cities? Surely this God of 'love' could come up with a better plan?

I have always said that Yahweh is a sandwich short of a picnic, no wonder the other gods in the Canaanite pantheon take the piss out of Him!

Re: In the Beginning...

Being fair to the authors of the Bible, in general, women were treated as second class citizens right across the Ancient Near East.

It is the same with what we would consider unjust slaughtering of POW's, it was common practice to wipe out all inhabitants of a town or city. It is called putting the town to the 'ban', and is mentioned in external texts such as the Mesha Stele.

I think we probably do not fathom how low these societies had sunk into immorality.

Does this include the Israelites?
