    God also turned Lots wife into a pillar of salt for commiting the heinous crime of checks book again looking over her shoulder, that harlot!

    Also, once they were homeless those same daughters drugged and raped him!

    The Bible: fun for the whole family!

    The bible more directly endorses war rape:

    Deuteronomy 21:10-14 ESV

    When you go out to war against your enemies, and the Lord your God gives them into your hand and you take them captive, and you see among the captives a beautiful woman, and you desire to take her to be your wife, and you bring her home to your house, she shall shave her head and pare her nails. And she shall take off the clothes in which she was captured and shall remain in your house and lament her father and her mother a full month. After that you may go in to her and be her husband, and she shall be your wife.

      ‘Spoils of war’ sounds a little different when you consider this, and the medieval blindness to the age of consent. I wonder how many incels of the past joined the crusades to get a pussy without any responsibilities.

        How does “she gets a month to mourn and then you get married” equate to “pussy without any responsibilities”?

          Shut the fuck up, why are you ignoring the rest of the context for that? Forced war brides and rape are fine if you give them a grieving period??

            Well if it’s context you want, back in those days - and let me stress before you jump to another incorrect conclusion that I don’t agree with this - women were possessions, not the independent equals they are today. Before marriage they belonged to their fathers, and after marriage they belonged to their husbands, and in both cases she was provided for by her owner. An “unowned” woman was in a horrible position, with no provider and no ability to provide for herself, there was little option but to become a slave or a prostitute.

            If her husband was killed in war then being taken on as a wife by someone else was in her better interests. And if you want to call the resulting sex rape that’s up to you, but in effect you’re calling all marital sex back then rape (because war bride or otherwise, she had no say in the matter), so it kind of loses its meaning.
