Pdizzle:That is more like it. Atheism does not support the existence of absolute moral values. After all we are no different from animals and man is of no higher value than animals, according to them. Some believe it's okay to be racist; others believe it's okay to kill babies. Others still believe it's okay to rape. Who is to say what is to be followed? Any standard of our own creation would necessarily be subjective and arbitrary. |
Evilbible has been debunked conclusively. Follow the link below. [url]debunkedevil..com/2009/10/rape-in-bible.html[/url] |
randomperson, The word used here, translated as rape, is the Hebrew word shakab, meaning lying down.Taphas is the Hebrew word for catching, handling, taking hold, and isn't used. If you look at most other translations it merely says "a virgin, who is not betrothed, and he lays hold of her and lies with her." Where in the verse does it say the intercourse was forced? The verse even ends with "and they were found". It doesn't say he was caught, THEY were caught. This shows that they were engaging in fornication, not rape. This made them have to get married because the woman was not even previously betrothed. |
benzics:Rapists can produce a similar excuse to justify their acts. Bitter Leaves are green, just because another person comes up with "bitter leaves are red", does that make bitter leaves red?Another unintelligent "analogy". |
benzics:This is a terrible analogy. Try as much as possible use analogies that remotely mirror what is being said. |
benzics:Lame. Lions don't kill antelopes to protect anybody, neither do antelopes terrorize lions. So, no reason for the lion to kill the antelopes. What a group of individuals think doesn't change the truthGood. The ones you hold as truth, who declared them truths, since a human being or groups of human beings can't determine what is to be held as truth? |
jonbellion:1. That rape denies the basic right of an individual is your opinion. Other people don't agree. 2. An act is not immoral because it encroaches on a person's individual rights. Otherwise, policemen have no right to detain people(limit their freedom of movement). 3. Is the lion that kills an antelope not violating the antelope's rights? Are lions punished? |
dalaman:Please, stop quoting me. You're very unintelligent. You never address the content of what you quoted. Who's talking about congress? ![]() |
benzics: DoctorAlien:Also, when lions kill antelopes, they cause harm to the antelopes. Why are you not punishing lions for killing antelopes? |
jonbellion, follow the link below for an expose on the issue of rape in the Bible. Don't derail the thread. Thank you. www.nairaland.com/3567175/did-god-ever-condone-rape#52719550 |
dalaman:Do rapists agree? Certainly not. If I decide today that rape is good, all the rapists in the whole world agree with me. We are humans too. We would declare too that rape is good. You now see how foolish your answer is? |
In Deut 21:10-14, Moses specifically stated what was to be done with female captives: "When you go out to war...and you see among the captives a beautiful woman, and desire her and would take her for your wife, then you shall bring her home to your house, and she shall shave her head and trim her nails. She shall put off the clothes of her captivity, remain in your house, and mourn 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" (emp. added). It is important to understand that God has never condoned any type of sexual activity outside of a lawful marriage. The only way that an Israelite would be morally justified in having sexual intercourse with a female captive was if he made her his wife, granting to her the rights and privileges due to a wife. Notice that the Israelite male could not “go in to her” until she had observed a period of mourning and cleansing, and he could only "go in to her" with the intent being her husband. |
The passage that is most often used to “prove” that God condones rape is Numbers 31:25-40. In this passage, the young women who were taken captive after Moses destroyed the Midianites were divided between the Israelites and the priests. The priests were given responsibility for 32 of the women. Skeptics often suggest that these women were supplied so that the priests could abuse them sexually and rape them. But nothing could be further from the truth. The skeptic errs greatly in this regard either due to his ignorance of God’s instructions or willful dishonesty. |
Militant atheists of the 21st century delight in accusing God of condoning the most heinous immoralities. They insist that the God of the Bible, especially of the Old Testament, was a murderous villain guilty of far worse than His human subjects. Richard Dawkins accused God of being a “misogynistic, homophobic, racist, infanticidal, genocidal, filicidal, pestilential, megalomaniacal, sadomasochistic, capriciously malevolent bully” (2006, p. 31). One attempt that has been made to bolster these unfounded accusations is to suggest that in the Old Testament God condoned rape. Dan Barker commented: “If God told you to rape someone, would you do it? Some Christians, ignorant of biblical injunctions to rape , might answer, ‘God would never ask me to do that’” (Barker, 1992, p. 331, emp. added). If the honest truth seeker were to ask to see the “biblical injunctions to rape,” he would be struck by the fact that no such injunctions exist. |

benzics:Who declared rape absolutely bad? |
So far so good, no "atheist" has been able to tell us why they cling to moral absolutes, when they can't even tell who declared them absolute, and what authority the person/group of persons have to do so. Also, no atheist has been able to tell us why the laws of logic exist, and how the laws came about, and why they use the laws of logic, how humans could possibly know about the laws and why the laws of logic are universal, binding, immaterial and unchanging. Conclusion: atheism is a very illogical and inconsistent ism?? |
dalaman:I never said so. I'm tempted to doubt your ability to comprehend. I'm simply asking, who declared rape morally wrong absolutely? Nobody's talking about enforcing here. That a law is perfecty enforced does not mean that it is morally right universally. |
dalaman:Ewoo! See an entirely unrelated and unintelligent question. ![]() Baba, please go. You're confused. |
DoctorAlien: |
It's a waste of time arguing with some unintelligent people, really. How can a simple question be asked, and somebody who claims to be intellectually sound will start answering another thing? Chai! Please, before you attempt to answer my question, make sure you understand what a moral absolute is. It is not a rule enforced by man. ![]() |
Pastafarian, please open a thread and talk about slavery in the Bible, and the morality of the Christian GOD. Don't derail this thread. Thank you. |
dalaman:Humans cannot declare moral absolutes because rapists don't agree that rape is bad. I can choose to state emphatically now that rape is not bad. Just because one random individual is of the opinion that rape is bad, and then 999 999 more people coincidentally are of the same opinion does not convert what could have been a relative(desisting from rape) into an absolute. If I say that rape is not bad, and I find 2 500 752 rapists who agree with me that rape is not bad, to us(our group of human beings), rape is not bad. But then, is rape really good? |
So far so good, no "atheist" has been able to tell us why they cling to moral absolutes, when they can't even tell who declared them absolute. Also, no atheist has been able to tell us why the laws of logic exist, and how the laws came about, and why they use the laws of logic, how humans could possibly know about the laws and why the laws of logic are universal, binding, immaterial and unchanging. Conclusion: atheism is a very illogical and inconsistent ism? |
Splinz:We'll never be deterred. We will continue to speak the truth bro, no matter whatever anybody's doing. |
dalaman:Seun, this person is derailing this thread. |
dalaman:If you have nothing intelligent to say, just stay off this thread. You must not make foolish comments all the time. |
Is rape absolutely bad? Cc: benzics |
This is the fourth page already and no "atheist" has been able to tell us why something like rape is bad, or why laws of logic exist, and are abstract and absolute. ![]() |
dalaman:Please swerve. Employing red herring in arguments is not considered intellectual. Bye. |
dalaman:See human being abeg Who dey talk about Bible here? |
