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.

God?
I thought it was the Republicans that advocated this!
Perhaps God is/was a Republican?

Weeeeeeeell, it depends on the kind of rape we're talking about. ;)

I suspect it has to do with the woman's lack of consent to the marriage or to sex at any time. From the woman's point of view, if a man rapes you, he gets to continue to rape you for the rest of your lives.

Cam added the rest of his post after I asked my question. Now, I understand the reference.

Re: God Advocates Rape
I guess I'm just curious how a religious person can remain religious when his religious text advocates raping women.

Hey DCM 
Speaking for only myself, it's really simple, I just skip over those parts when reading.

Ha!
Seriously, though. How do you reconcile something like this? I'd really like to know.

Re: God Advocates Rape
Hey again, DCM
Okay, I'll forget, for a moment, that I am at the MDB and give it a go!
First, I do not believe it is possible to reconcile rape. Period! I also do not believe God advocates rape! (Yes, I am aware of the passages you speak of)
Having said that, I will freely admit that there are many things I struggle with (Mostly in the Old Testament) that can be found within these several books we call Sacred Scripture. If you offered me examples of folks who did not have some questions/struggles, I would offer you someone that was not being 100% truthful.
So, to me it's not about reconciling anyhting.
It is my position (maybe belief is a better choice of words?) that the New Testament is the clear foundation of my belief. It is, after all, the new covenant. The new promise. The Good News For All!
Do I have questions? You bet I do!
Perhaps, someday, we all might get some answers.
In the meantime, I am completely fine with God being God and realizing the absolute certainty that I am not!
Peace,
Ceeboo
