Numbers 21:11-14 If you see a pretty woman among the captives and would like her for a wife, then just bring her home and "go in unto her." Later,
if you decide you don't like her, you can "let her go."
Numbers 22:13-21 If a man marries, then decides that he hates his wife, he can claim she wasn't a virgin when they were married. If her father can't
produce the "tokens of her virginity" (bloody sheets), then the woman is to be stoned to death at her father's doorstep.
Numbers 22:23-24 If a betrothed virgin is raped in the city and doesn't cry out loud enough, then "the men of the city shall stone her to
death."
Numbers 22:28-29 If a man rapes an unbetrothed virgin, he must pay her father 50 shekels of silver and then marry her.
Judges 11:29-39 When "the spirit of the Lord" comes upon Jephthah, he makes a deal with God: If God will help him kill the Ammonites, then he
(Jephthah) will offer to God as a burnt offering whatever comes out of his house to greet him. God keeps his end of the deal by providing Jephthah
with "a very great slaughter." But when Jephthah returns, his nameless daughter comes out to greet him (who'd he expect, his wife?). Well, a
deal's a deal, so he delivers her to God as a burnt offering -- after letting her spend a couple of months going up and down on the mountains
bewailing her virginity.
Judges 19:22-30 After taking in a traveling Levite, the host offers his virgin daughter and his guest's concubine to a mob of perverts (who want to
have sex with his guest). The mob refuses the daughter, but accepts the concubine and they "abuse her all night." The next morning she crawls back
to the doorstep and dies. The Levite puts her dead body on an ass and takes her home. Then he chops her body up into twelve pieces and sends them to
each of the twelve tribes of Israel.
After the Israelites heard the Levite's story (about chopping up his dead concubine and sending her body parts to each tribe of Israel) they vowed
not to "give" their daughters to the Benjamites. So now they had a problem: they just finished killing all the Benjamite women and children (Jg
20:48) so there were no women for the surviving Benjamite men to marry. [There were 600 Benjamite men that survived the war with the Israelites. (Jg
20:47)] 21:1-7
To find wives for the Benjamites (they were unwilling to use their own daughters), the other tribes attacked and killed all occupants of a city except
for the young virgins. These virgins were then given to the Benjamites for wives. 21:7-23
Here's what the Israelites decide to do. They will go and kill everyone in Jabeshgilead except for the virgin women and give them to the 600
surviving Benjamites. 21:11
So the Israelites killed all the non-virgin women and children in Jabeshgilead, bringing back 400 virgin women to give to the Benjamites. But they
were still 200 short. Damn! 21:12-14
Then the elders of the congregation said, How shall we do for wives for them that remain, seeing the women are destroyed out of Benjamin?" 21:16
"We may not give them wives of our daughters: for the children of Israel have sworn, saying, Cursed be he that giveth a wife to Benjamin." 21:18
So they come up with another brilliant plan. Have the Benjamites hide in the bushes and then catch the daughters of Shiloh when they come out to
dance. So that's what they did and everyone lived happily ever after. 21:19-23
2 Peter 2:8 Lot, who in Gen.19:8 offers his two virgin daughters to a crowd of angel rapers and later (19:30-38) impregnates them, was a "righteous
man."
2 Timothy 3:6-7 In the last days, "silly women" who are "ever learning" will be "led away with divers lusts."
1 Timothy: Honoring widows indeed 5:3-10
You should help a widow only if she:
Has no children or nephews
Is desolate, trusts in God, and prays all the time
Is not living in pleasure
(a widow living in pleasure is the living dead)
Is over 60 years old
Had only one husband
Has raised children
Has lodged strangers
Has washed the saints' feet
Has relieved the afflicted
Has diligently followed every good work
Never help a young widow (one under 60 years old). When they wax wanton against Christ, they'll get married, and be damned to hell for rejecting
their faith. Besides, young widows are idle busybodies, wandering around from house to house saying things they shouldn't say. They should get
married and have children (though they'll be damned to hell for it). Heck, some of them have already turned aside after Satan. 5:11-15
These are only a few verses I located via skepticsannotatedbible.com... (they also have a section for the Quran and Book of Mormon.)
I'm definitely one of those who stopped being a Christian once I actually read the Bible. How can you (women especially) honestly want to follow the
directives of a book this amoral and downright crazy?
