> Rape In The Bible
>
> Rape is one of the most heinous crimes imaginable.  Yet few people
> know that the Bible  often condones and even approves of rape.  
>
> So grab your Bibles and follow along as I show you all the nasty rapes
> that your priests and preachers don't want to tell you about.  Note
> that in many places in the Bible there are references to "taking a
> wife".  Don't be fooled into thinking that these were voluntary
> marriages.  This first quote clearly shows that murder and force were
> used to "take" these wives.
>
> 1)      Murder, rape, and pillage at Jabesh-gilead  (Judges 21:10-24
> NLT)
>
> So they sent twelve thousand warriors to Jabesh-gilead with orders to
> kill everyone there, including women and children.  "This is what you
> are to do," they said. "Completely destroy all the males and every
> woman who is not a virgin."  Among the residents of Jabesh-gilead they
> found four hundred young virgins who had never slept with a man, and
> they brought them to the camp at Shiloh in the land of Canaan.
>
> The Israelite assembly sent a peace delegation to the little remnant
> of Benjamin who were  living at the rock of Rimmon. Then the men of
> Benjamin returned to their homes, and the four hundred women of
> Jabesh-gilead who were spared were given to them as wives.  But there
> were not enough women for all of them.  The people felt sorry for
> Benjamin because the LORD had left this gap in the tribes of Israel.
> So the Israelite leaders asked, "How can we find wives for the few who
> remain, since all the women of the tribe of Benjamin are dead?  There
> must be heirs for the survivors so that an entire tribe of Israel will
> not be lost forever.  But we cannot give them our own daughters in
> marriage because we have sworn with a solemn oath that anyone who does
> this will fall under God's curse."
>
> Then they thought of the annual festival of the LORD held in Shiloh,
> between Lebonah and Bethel, along the east side of the road that goes
> from Bethel to Shechem.  They told the men of Benjamin who still
> needed wives, "Go and hide in the vineyards.  When the women of Shiloh
> come out for their dances, rush out from the vineyards, and each of
> you can take one of them home to be your wife!  And when their fathers
> and brothers come to us in protest, we will tell them, 'Please be
> understanding.  Let them have your daughters, for we didn't find
> enough wives for them when we destroyed Jabesh-gilead. And you are not
> guilty of breaking the vow since you did not give your daughters in
> marriage to them.'"  So the men of Benjamin did as they were told.
> They kidnapped the women who took part in the celebration and carried
> them off to the land of their own inheritance.  Then they rebuilt
> their towns and lived in them.  So the assembly of Israel departed by
> tribes and families, and they returned to their own homes.
>
> Obviously these women were repeatedly raped.  These sick bastards
> killed and raped an entire town and then wanted more virgins, so they
> hid beside the road to kidnap and rape some more.  How can anyone see
> this as anything but evil?
>
> 2) Murder, rape and pillage of the Midianites    (Numbers 31:7-18 NLT)
>
> They attacked Midian just as the LORD had commanded Moses, and they
> killed all the men. All five of the Midianite kings - Evi, Rekem, Zur,
> Hur, and Reba - died in the battle.  They also killed Balaam son of
> Beor with the sword.  Then the Israelite army captured the Midianite
> women and children and seized their cattle and flocks and all their
> wealth as plunder.  They burned all the towns and villages where the
> Midianites had lived.  After they had gathered the plunder and
> captives, both people and animals, they brought them all to Moses and
> Eleazar the priest, and to the whole community of Israel, which was
> camped on the plains of Moab beside the Jordan River, across from
> Jericho.
>
> Moses, Eleazar the priest, and all the leaders of the people went to
> meet them outside the camp.  But Moses was furious with all the
> military commanders who had returned from the battle. "Why have you
> let all the women live?" he demanded.  "These are the very ones who
> followed Balaam's advice and caused the people of Israel to rebel
> against the LORD at Mount Peor.  They are the ones who caused the
> plague to strike the LORD's people.  Now kill all the boys and all the
> women who have slept with a man.  Only the young girls who are virgins
> may live; you may keep them for yourselves.
>
> Clearly Moses and God approves of rape of virgins.
>
> 3) More Murder Rape and Pillage   (Deuteronomy 20:10-14)
>
> As you approach a town to attack it, first offer its people terms for
> peace.  If they accept your terms and open the gates to you, then all
> the people inside will serve you in forced labor.  But if they refuse
> to make peace and prepare to fight, you must attack the town. When the
> LORD your God hands it over to you, kill every man in the town.  But
> you may keep for yourselves all the women, children, livestock, and
> other plunder.  You may enjoy the spoils of your enemies that the LORD
> your God has given you.
> What kind of God approves of murder, rape, and slavery?
>
> 4) Laws of Rape   (Deuteronomy 22:28-29 NLT)
>
> If a man is caught in the act of raping a young woman who is not
> engaged, he must pay fifty pieces of silver to her father.  Then he
> must marry the young woman because he violated her, and he will never
> be allowed to divorce her.
>
> What kind of lunatic would make a rape victim marry her attacker?
> Answer: God.
>
> 5) Death to the Rape Victim   (Deuteronomy 22:23-24 NAB)
>
> If within the city a man comes upon a maiden who is betrothed, and has
> relations with her, you shall bring them both out of the gate of the
> city and there stone them to death: the girl because she did not cry
> out for help though she was in the city, and the man because he
> violated his neighbors wife.
>
> It is clear that God doesn't give a damn about the rape victim.  He is
> only concerned about the violation of another mans "property".
>
> 6) David's Punishment - Polygamy, Rape, Baby Killing, and God's
> "Forgiveness" (2 Samuel
> 12:11-14 NAB)
>
> Thus says the Lord: 'I will bring evil upon you out of your own house.
> I will take your wives [plural] while you live to see it, and will
> give them to your neighbor.  He shall lie with your wives in broad
> daylight.  You have done this deed in secret, but I will bring it
> about in the presence of all Israel, and with the sun looking down.'
> Then David said to Nathan, "I have sinned against the Lord."  Nathan
> answered David: "The Lord on his part has forgiven your sin: you shall
> not die.  But since you have utterly spurned the Lord by this deed,
> the child born to you must surely die."  [The child dies seven days
> later.]
>
> This has got to be one of the sickest quotes of the Bible.  God
> himself brings the completely innocent rape victims to the rapist.
> What kind of pathetic loser would do something so evil?  And then he
> kills a child!  
>
> 7)  Rape of Female Captives   (Deuteronomy 21:10-14 NAB)
>
> "When you go out to war against your enemies and the LORD, your God,
> delivers them into your hand, so that you take captives, if you see a
> comely woman among the captives and become so enamored of her that you
> wish to have her as wife, you may take her home to your house.  But
> before she may live there, she must shave her head and pare her nails
> and lay aside her captive's garb.  After she has mourned her father
> and mother for a full month, you may have relations with her, and you
> shall be her husband and she shall be your wife.  However, if later on
> you lose your liking for her, you shall give her her freedom, if she
> wishes it; but you shall not sell her or enslave her, since she was
> married to you under compulsion."
>
> Once again God approves of forcible rape.
>
> 8)      Rape and the Spoils of War (Judges 5:30 NAB)
>
> They must be dividing the spoils they took: there must be a damsel or
> two for each man, Spoils of dyed cloth as Sisera's spoil, an ornate
> shawl or two for me in the spoil.   (Judges 5:30 NAB)
>
> 9)      Sex Slaves (Exodus 21:7-11 NLT)
>
> When a man sells his daughter as a slave, she will not be freed at the
> end of six years as the men are.  If she does not please the man who
> bought her, he may allow her to be bought back again.  But he is not
> allowed to sell her to foreigners, since he is the one who broke the
> contract with her.  And if the slave girl's owner arranges for her to
> marry his son, he may no longer treat her as a slave girl, but he must
> treat her as his daughter.  If he himself marries her and then takes
> another wife, he may not reduce her food or clothing or fail to sleep
> with her as his wife.  If he fails in any of these three ways, she may
> leave as a free woman without making any payment.   (Exodus 21:7-11
> NLT)
>
> 10)     God Assists Rape and Plunder (Zechariah 14:1-2 NAB)
>
> Lo, a day shall come for the Lord when the spoils shall be divided in
> your midst.  And I will gather all the nations against Jerusalem for
> battle: the city shall be taken, houses plundered, women ravished;
> half of the city shall go into exile, but the rest of the people shall
> not be removed from the city.   (Zechariah 14:1-2 NAB)
