[Also consult Numbers 31 where a whole tribe of people, including the elderly and children are slaughtered. The only survivors were the virginal women, who were later raped by the “just and perfect” Moses and his men. Is that what you want your children reading on Sunday?"]
Moses wasn't perfect. o_O He was a murderer. And I don't know, maybe rape wasn't a sin yet.

If there was a time when rape wasn't a sin, then your "God" is even more evil and cruel than I thought. In Numbers 31 your perfect, omni-benevolent "God" also condones genocide. Was that not a sin yet either? When was it that rape and/or genocide started being sins?
Well actually, it's parts like that that your children will never hear on sundays. Preachers will never talk about the parts of the bible where god condones rape, genocide, exc; just the parts that make him seem 'fair and just'. The bible can be christianity's worst enemy sometimes.
Is there any part of the Bible that says rape is a sin? Or is it just covered under adultery, which was definitely a sin while Numbers was going on, so ... ah, fuck it. How can people believe this shit?
Oh my!
Murder was a sin according to the commandments delivered onto Moses long before the events of Numbers 31. So was adultery.God told us to do it, so it isn't a sin .
If people wish to base their lives on this book, the least they could do is read thoroughly.
And I don't know, maybe rape wasn't a sin yet. atheists can't be moral without God?
<<And I don't know, maybe rape wasn't a sin yet.>>
<Why would an omni-benevolent, omniscient, omnipotent, good and loving "God" pick a mass-murdering, lying, rapist such as Moses to be his spokesman?>
You're right, rape had a different definition then. Continue your reading, and you find the 'Rape of Dinah'. In those days, the only females that could be raped, were Queens, or Princesses. Common folks just fucked.
<Nope, rape was a sin. What happened was Moses got "Special Dispensation" (see Catholic dogma).>me can't get special dispensation to take over the world? God is so playing favorites.
These are the same people who say that God is the same today, yesterday, and tomorrow, and that God never changes.
Well, he was not perfect, but God confided him the task of guiding the people. And it was a sin, only to be punished with money.
And you idiots call 21st century America the land of "moral decay?" Nobody is saying that everything's perfect now, but at least rape IS considered to be a crime and one punishable by law.
We can use this post as an example whenever a fundie goes off on how evil Muhammad was in comparison to the "saints" of the Bible.
Considering he preached "thou shalt not kill", it seems he was a hypocrite. Now who hated hypocrisy over all things?
And I don't know, maybe rape wasn't a sin yet.
Yes because we all know God's Perfect Word needs changing at times.
"Moses wasn't perfect. "
Moses never existed.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
