Debate: The bible is... illogical
Side: Illogical!

For the first answer, you sound like a slaver for some reason, but your answer does have some truth on some levels, like a psychotic criminal per say, because some must be confined for the safety of others. So that is one thing to agree on.For the second, you have to understand what I mean by "Having power over someone."I don't mean it lightly where you tell someone what to do, I mean where you take away all their privileges, and use them and mistreat them. The bible even says that you can beat them, just so long if they don't die from it.Okay, now that's just silly, since when was I a "Whiny Feminist" Now you're just taking it too far. I never even mentioned calling you a misogynist. But the problem is, you support the bible- and where did it say the bible condones rape? Ah, here it is-  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)And this..."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." (Deuteronomy 21:10-14 NAB)Oh, and also this... 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. (Numbers 31:7-18 NLT)Not to mention this... 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".Do you take matters of rape lightly? And is it wrong to stand up against rape? The bible just loves condoning rape, even God does.I don't bear a grudge at men because well, I am a man- well, a boy. Do you just automatically assume that my sympathy towards women makes me a woman?Why do you think the bible gives guides through metaphors. How is RAPE a metaphor?
