Why 'Equality' Must Die

Viewing these, the Seven Cardinal Virtues, anything make an impression? Okay, now try the Seven Heavenly Virtues of:

Scour great works, such as the Bible, and you won't find talk of equality. Not one bit -- that is, unless you consider The Communist Manifesto a great work.

One thing about virtues -- which are defined as "good moral habits" -- is that their exercise doesn't require the cooperation, or compulsion, of another person. I can cultivate prudence, temperance, courage and the other virtues in myself, and I can do it all by myself. So while a virtuous society is desirable, virtue can also be a purely personal goal. And this is one time when focusing on the self needn't be selfish, for we should take the log out of our own eyes before worrying about the speck in our brother's.

You’re plain nuts.

Re-read my previous comment, better yet, comprehend it, instead of breaking into tangential nonsense.

Your whole point about mentioning the Assyrians was to ameliorate the nasty nonsense that is Deut. 21:10-14. It was a pathetic excuse to legitimise deity-permitted sexual slavery, however it may be termed.

And then you pull out homosexuality out of your Obama for no rational reason.

Like I said, re-read my prior comment and answer coherently instead of going apeshit again.

Oh, and LOL!

So a chick who lost her house, family, significant other and left to die is a "sex slave" even though after a month she is free to go "humbly"? Maybe God should of commanded the Israelites to just flat out enslave the women or if that was too horrible, just kill them. We are dealing with a time when revenge and blood lust from previous generations of strife are the highlights of living. Hence, why sometimes God commanded to raze settlements leaving nothing behind so potential offspring of the enemies of the Israelites would not seek payback.

Let just say the guy gets his jollies off that one time and decides to marry the chick (In this case the sexual act is the marriage ceremony). The chick decides to leave and the guy is looking like a sad sack in bed. Risky, especially if you want to be in the good graces of the tribe.

One month with a bald chick with cut nails whose tribe/family was destroyed would probably not be fun to live with anyway. Let us use our superior 21st century moral superiority where 50+ million have been killed for convenience in the womb, wag our finger at this Biblical God and take said Biblical command out of historical and psychological/physiological context because feelings surpass "hidden" logical aspects of this God.

Don't condone sexual slavery, which is what the above is, regardless of what lousy excuse-making you use to make your dogma seem virtuous.

A woman in mourning forced to have sex sanctioned by a god is a woman who is undergoing rape. It's hilarious to see you make it out to be a minor act of little consequence with your reference to the "option" she has of walking away "humbly" after being used sexually, to leave her rapist looking bad in bed. The times back then weren't that kind to women to allow your putrid views to be applicable to them. The women get marked, because they are no longer virgins. It's funny that a god that can order ridiculous dietary and cultural practices to its people and expect obedience at the threat of death had to make allowances to permit sexual slavery because it was still "civilising" its people. Yeah, right. Sell this swill elsewhere.
