Ask JJ - he seems to be both important and an expert in expulsion (at least on this forum).I expelled myself from Catholicism, I wasn't important enough to be expelled.
Well if they're only heterosexual rapes.. that's okay then.. nothing serious.. there's a bit of slavery thrown in too just for good measure in most of the rape passages!!!!
Oh wow what a philosphical post.lol.But belongs to a joke thread i think.Ask JJ - he seems to be both important and an expert in expulsion (at least on this forum).

They phrase it rather discretely though don't they - "you may keep them for yourselves" (of young virgins) "But you may keep for yourselves all the women, children, livestock, and other plunder. You may enjoy the spoils of your enemies that the LORD your God has given you.".... right on sister, that's one for the radical feminists amongst us!! (bloody hell!)
But you don't have to worry, all is okay, cause if a man is caught raping a woman - the bible advocated making him pay a fine AND marry the woman, AND he's not allowed to divorce her. We all know that every rape victim wants to marry the person that raped them - it's a dream come true, a true fairy tale ending!!!!!!!
- they are actually biblical quotes though... straight from the bible= 'where all practicing misogynists get their daily fill of hatred!' (that should be a tag line to it) 
I think the priests should all wear this:

Well religion is illogical anyway so its impossible to explain it logically.You are human so how do you want to explain God?You would be God's equal if you could explain him,right?So therefore it will never be possible for a human to explain God.I dont want to go into theological disputes,im not interested in religion that much.But i do believe in God though.Of course we do. It's a funny subject.
I find it hilarious to see religious people trying to explain how Noah's Ark is totally plausible. Or how Mary got pregnant while still virgin, so she told Joseph that and he totally bought it.
Don't you think it's funny?
It gives me a fuzzy feeling when a Christian says stuff like "Oh, Noah's Ark? That has be scientifically proven! yo!"
Yeah ok whatever.
Because other people make them suffer.Its other people who murder,rape and start wars not God.
Bleh so predicatble....As Schopenhauer says:XXXVIII.
A last trick is to become personal, insulting, rude, as soon as you perceive that your opponent has the upper hand, and that you are going to come off worst. It consists in passing from the subject of dispute, as from a lost game, to the disputant himself, and in some way attacking his person. It may be called the argumentum ad personam, to distinguish it from the argumentum ad hominem, which passes from the objective discussion of the subject pure and simple to the statements or admissions which your opponent has made in regard to it. But in becoming personal you leave the subject altogether, and turn your attack to his person, by remarks of an offensive and spiteful character. It is an appeal from the virtues of the intellect to the virtues of the body, or to mere animalism. This is a very popular trick, because every one is able to carry it into effect; and so it is of frequent application. Now the question is, What counter-trick avails for the other party? for if he has recourse to the same rule, there will be blows, or a duel, or an action for slander.
It would be a great mistake to suppose that it is sufficient not to become personal yourself. For by showing a man quite quietly that he is wrong, and that what he says and thinks is incorrect—a process which occurs in every dialectical victory—you embitter him more than if you used some rude or insulting expression. Why is this? Because, as Hobbes observes,* all mental pleasure consists in being able to compare oneself with others to one’s own advantage. Nothing is of greater moment to a man than the gratification of his vanity, and no wound is more painful than that which is inflicted on it. Hence such phrases as “Death before dishonour,” and so on. The gratification of vanity arises mainly by comparison of oneself with others, in every respect, but chiefly in respect of one’s intellectual powers; and so the most effective and the strongest gratification of it is to be found in controversy. Hence the embitterment of defeat, apart from any question of injustice; and hence recourse to that last weapon, that last trick, which you cannot evade by mere politeness. A cool demeanour may, however, help you here, if, as soon as your opponent becomes personal, you quietly reply, “That has no bearing on the point in dispute,” and immediately bring the conversation back to it, and continue to show him that he is wrong, without taking any notice of his insults. Say, as Themistocles said to Eurybiades—Strike, but hear me. But such demeanour is not given to every one.
