Sadly, I perceive that you are actually please to be un-skeptical, simply believing whatever evilbible.com tells you and not bothering to consider the evidence that I have presented.
Thus, I will say it again: if you actually click on the hyperlinks I provided above you will acquire access to that which you, again, claim that I did not provide.
If you do not do so but merely continue attempting to besmirch the Bible for what you have been told about the way that the OT treats rape you will know that you are being intellectually dishonest and passed up an opportunity to educate yourself—you will know that you are pseudo-skeptical and are engaging upon emotive argumentation even whilst you keep claiming that since evilbible.com said it—it must be true—without question.
I sincerely urge you to actually consider my carefully researched evidence as it will help you determine what they contents, concepts and contexts of the Bible are. You have trouble discerning basic texts such as pointing out that “Act 17:11…has nothing to do with rape” even though I implied no such thing but wrote, “You do not have to take my word for anything as the Bible teaches in Acts 17:11 but can consider the evidence for yourself.”
Why is it that evilbible.com neglects to mention the most relevant biblical text related to the biblical view of and law about rape? Did you know that they did that? Do you wonder why?
You are being manipulated by them and they succeed because you will not question them.
Why do they tell you that the Bible commands human sacrifice when it actually condemns it? Why do they not condemn the Gentile Pagans who actually did perform the human sacrifices which God condemns but are content to condemn the Jews? Do you know that they did that? Do you wonder why?
I am actually begging you to practice honest skepticism.
This is not about pleasure, or pain. I think it pains me more to see that they find things they find, except I don't bury my head in the sand and pretend the sun doesn't shine. Their references are pretty clear, your protests notwithstanding.
Thus, I will say it again: if you actually click on the hyperlinks I provided above you will acquire access to that which you, again, claim that I did not provide.
I did. I is really a lot of rationalizations. Nothing very convincing. The verses are there and they say very clearly what they say.
If you do not do so but merely continue attempting to besmirch the Bible
I have no desire to besmirch the Bible.
for what you have been told about the way that the OT treats rape you will know that you are being intellectually dishonest and passed up an opportunity to educate yourself
That just sounds like a lot of hot air, all fluff and no substance, and lots of making it personal.

I never said it must be true because evilbible.com.com says it is. The evidence is not fabricated but pulled out of the Bible. You have yet to address those verses in particular and show that they don't say what they say.

Which text is that, I am asking you, again?

I think they use the same argument about Bible believers.
Why do they tell you that the Bible commands human sacrifice when it actually condemns it? Why do they not condemn the Gentile Pagans who actually did perform the human sacrifices which God condemns but are content to condemn the Jews? Do you know that they did that? Do you wonder why?
They mention Abraham being told to kill his son (Genesis 22:1-18). No matter how you look at it, putting Abraham through such an ordeal is rather cruel in some people's eyes. But, then some people don't think torturing animals is cruel. I guess we must not agree on what constitutes cruel.
They quote Lev 27:28-29 where everything that is not redeemed must be put to death (including humans I suppose).
They quote Judges 11:29-40 NLT, and Jephthah's daughter.
They quote Joshua 7:15 NLT God, and so on. In other words they go on to make their case. If you feel their case is worthless, in an absolute sense, then prove it.
I am actually begging you to practice honest skepticism.
I believe I am.
