Deuteronomy 22:28-29

[Hyrcia]

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.

Then that means you can only get away with raping one woman. Some people like a bit of variety...

The Bible was written by a bunch of ignorant, stupid old men. This is proof.
That is all.

[Encypo]

Just another reason why every Bible should be burned.

Deuteronomy is full of stuff like this. It's super old laws set up by the Hebrews. Christians aren't expected to follow these laws to the teeth anymore. There is a New Covenant put in place when Christ died. This is why Christians don't sacrifice cattle or sheep at a temple these days. For the most part, you should only consider the stuff in the Old Testiment to be a history of the Hebrew people. And some poetry occasionaly thrown in here and there.

It's a metaphor.

When it says "raping a young woman" it really means "catching a delicious salmon", with "not engaged" obviously meaning "already entangled in another man's net".

See, in those days, salmon was a precious commodity and hooking a fish which had already been caught by another man (personified in this case as "the father"), was an incredible sin.

So as an act of apology, one had to pay fifty pieces of silver to the first fisherman who already had ownership of the salmon.

The part about marrying the young woman was another metaphor, for repainting the man's garden fence.

BUT YOU ATHEIST BASTARDS NEVER BOTHER TRYING TO UNDERSTAND THE SCRIBBLINGS OF TEH LAWD.
