We even have contemporary examples of this, some sportsing club "annihilating" another, etc, but at the time this was a primary historical writing genre, it even has a name

you know the apostles were deemd "godless atheists" by the romans eh? The "good" Samaritan was deemed a "godless atheist" by the hebrews, and etc

Fwiw "Lord" is a *terrible* translation, actually means more like "Baal" i guess

And they do seem to get forgiveness better than most i guess. It was *Catholicism* that got in bed with the nazis, wasnt it?
but wadr most Catholics (and prots i guess, actually) run screaming from the Bible like demons from holy water lol
but how do you define "Christian?" Anyone who loudly proclaims "i am Christian?" How about you first show us where the pope is authorized in the Bible, and we can go from there if you like :)

anyway,
"In 1676 an anomaly in the orbit of Io, Jupiter's innermost moon, led the astronomer Ole Roemer to make a very specific prediction. Io would appear from behind Jupiter at 5:37 pm on November 9, 1676, he said--and that would prove light travels with a finite speed. Roemer's mentor, Jean-Dominique Cassini, head of the Paris Observatory, rubbished the idea; light spread instantaneously, he said. His beliefs () led him to a different prediction. According to Cassini, it would be 5:27 when Io appeared.
Io appeared at 5:37 and 49 seconds. On hearing of this, Cassini announced that the facts fit with the story he had presented (faith). Although Cassini had made his (erroneous) prediction at a public gathering of scientists, not one of them demurred when he denied it; they all backed him up. Roemer had to wait fifty years to be vindicated; only after Cassini had died did scientists accept that the speed of light was finite."

bbyrd009 replies on Feb 21, 2021:
@LenHazell53 i dont seek to defend it so much as to suggest that it is being misunderstood, Len, similar to *an eye for an eye,* which many also consider "immoral," not realizing that the point was likely more like "you dont get to kill someone for accidentally putting your eye out"
and as far as the establishment of ancient foreign cultural mores are concerned i cant really say, but surely they arose organically, and are changed organically too? We--being codependent--judge through a codependent lens now, but those women had feet, they could leave anytime they wanted, eh?
A horrible truth is that contemporary moms advocate for and even participate in female circumcision, etc, even in this day and age; imagine the realities on the ground back when there was a literal law of sin and death!
so while i agree with you now, i think it is maybe a little naive to apply our current perspective to then? Gratuitous, at the very least?
"cultural laws come from (Yah)"
well, in the OT, maybe, but then isnt the NT basically the record of their theocratic implosion? In the NT we are advised to *leave the world* see, so again my suggestion would be that the context is not being understood, as is even evident in the op, "Apparantly it's ok to buy a virgin from her father and do what you want with her"
see, bc prior to this,
28 g“If a man meets a virgin who is not betrothed, and seizes her and lies with her, and they are found,
they were both *killed* ok
