Conversation 4: Exodus 21:7-11 - Marriage and Slavery

[Quixote1818]

Wow! These guys are fucking clueless dick-heads!

1. Nothing like sittin' back reading texts of the olden days when you could buy a wife, for cheap since

She was only 9 or 10. Let's hope she pleases her future husband or she could get treated like a common slave, which is rough, but God doesn't want this...Now I ask you, what is sane about this? And further, how does this improve their miserable lives? Of course, that's just me...I'm always wondering why I'm doin' stuff, cause y'know we ain't here forever y'know...

[Plucketeer]

2. The LORD cares about these young girls

That's why he's divinely intervened and provoked the Rethugs to refuse them their food stamps - it's a way of showing his Love. Yeah, this religious bullshit is a tool of leverage for the Right. : Look to the NEXT life for milk and honey so we can SCREW you in THIS life - suckers!

4. I think Marx summed it nicely: Religion is the opiate of the masses.

[Maraya1969]

3. What at all is caring about sending your 10 year old daughter to live with another family

with the boy/man she is to wed someday.

Why don't they just admit that those time were brutal and people behaved brutally and it is just not Godly! Trying to put a square peg into a round hole only makes them more ridicules.
