Beside, the bible tells us if we ever commit premarital sex, we should get married right away.... I think.

Yeah, it doesn't matter if you have anything in common with the person or even know his or her name. After all, if it doesn't work out, you can always get divorced, as do a whole lot of fundies.
No, because if you don't get married then it isn't pre-marital. If you get married then it is, and you sinned, and satan barbecues you for eternity. So fuck your brains out with wild abandon and don't marry. Jesus will be happy.
The Bible says so, or you think?, make up your mind. Well, I think that there are many verses that contradict. You know, that law in Leviticus about stoning non-virgin brides, or stoning adultress(I mean, the adulterer may not be married), or the case of the handmaids. Besides, what if you're raped?, what if the other person is already married?, what if premarital sex is with more than one partner(you or the person you are having sex with.........?, the list is long.
Well, it depends. For example, if she's a slave, you just have to make a guilt offering (e.g., sacrifice a sheep). If she's engaged and a virgin and you rape her in the country, you'll be stoned, but she'll go free. If you're both in the city, then you both get stoned to death. However, if she's not engaged, then you have to marry her, but you also have to pay her father 50 shekels (about $12 at today's exchange rates). Of course, all this only applies if you're a moron who actually listens to rules made up 4,000 years ago by a bunch of Arab sheep herders ...
No, the Bible tells you if you ever have premarital sex your going to hell, unless, of course, you accept Jesus as your savior, in which case you can do whatever you want so long as you repent before you die.
The 'I think' is just priceless, I mean, what the Hell? If you're going to believe a particular book is the complete and inerrent word of God, with a large set of rules that if you don't follow, will damn you for enternity, you'd want to oh I don't know... be just a bit more certain about what it actually says? Just a thought.
You know, you ARE allowed to actually read the thing before making statements regarding its content, Cd4u.
This isn't a pop quiz, I swear.
On a related note, Vanilla Coke through the nose burns like you wouldn't believe.
Corinthians talks about marrying if you can't keep it in your pants.
There is a law about marrying the rapist, but I think there's more there than meets the eye.
The rape in the country or city wasn't about the location where you were raped, but rather about whether you cried for help or not. In the country there are less people to hear you, so the girl would be absolved on default, assuming she made a big fuss about it, considering the culture
Actually, the bible says marriage was a punishment for rape, but close!
If you're having trouble understanding this concept, just think of those signs you see in gift stores - "you break it, you buy it." (harsher, but truer in origin than the F&V, you squeeze it, you buy it)
1Co 6:18 Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.
In this verse, this person probably already commited fornication. The bible teaches that we should flee from fornication. You can do this by either absentience or marriage. Most cases people who are living together with children have no choice but get married.
"If a man finds a girl who is a virgin, who is not engaged, and seizes her and lies with her and they are discovered, (Deuteronomy 22:28)
then the man who lay with her shall give to the girl's father fifty shekels of silver, and she shall become his wife because he has violated her; he cannot divorce her all his days. (Deuteronomy 22:29)
Cd4u would go on to use this tactic for weeks after the marriage.
"Yeah, uh...the bible says I don't have to do the dishes because uh....it's a sin."
"I drank all those beers and then vomited on the floor because...eh...bible said so."
"Bible says that when you catch me cheating on you you uh....have to make me a sandwich.....that's what it says."
Confused?
