    Now, anyone care to discuss the points I made or are we in a general consensus that the Buble does not condone slavery and rape?
    I think the answer is both. The bible both condones and condemns slavery and rape. The bible is a paradox, it offers you what ever answer you're looking for because it offers both answers.


    a modern day jury would convict God assuming the story given was accurate. If God gave someone the power to conquer a city and then they enslaved and raped the women inside that city, he would be an accomplice. The people around Jerry Sandusky are being held accountable for allowing it to happen. What God did (according to the story) would be like handing Jerry Sandusky the key to the boys locker room.


    Numbers 31:7-18
    7 They fought against Midian, as the Lord commanded Moses, and killed every man. 8 Among their victims were Evi, Rekem, Zur, Hur and Reba —the five kings of Midian. They also killed Balaam son of Beor with the sword. 9 The Israelites captured the Midianite women and children and took all the Midianite herds, flocks and goods as plunder. 10 They burned all the towns where the Midianites had settled, as well as all their camps. 11 They took all the plunder and spoils, including the people and animals, 12 and brought the captives, spoils and plunder to Moses and Eleazar the priest and the Israelite assembly at their camp on the plains of Moab, by the Jordan across from Jericho.

    13 Moses, Eleazar the priest and all the leaders of the community went to meet them outside the camp. 14 Moses was angry with the officers of the army —the commanders of thousands and commanders of hundreds—who returned from the battle.

    15 “Have you allowed all the women to live?” he asked them. 16 “They were the ones who followed Balaam’s advice and enticed the Israelites to be unfaithful to the Lord in the Peor incident, so that a plague struck the Lord’s people. 17 Now kill all the boys. And kill every woman who has slept with a man, 18 but save for yourselves every girl who has never slept with a man.
