21:12 Then thou shalt bring her home to thine house, and she shall shave her head, and pare her nails;

21:13 And she shall put the raiment of her captivity from off her, and shall remain in thine house, and bewail her father and her mother a full month: and after that thou shalt go in unto her, and be her husband, and she shall be thy wife.

Which means as a wife she had the privileges of a Jewess.
Again I remind you that these laws are only relevant to the Jews. As Gentile Christian's we have never practiced this. All your points are irrelevant to our times. You however are making sweeping statements about Judaism who still considers their laws to be in effect.

Additionally you fa to recognize that whatever charge you make against Judaism is multiplied against ancient paganism.

Furthermore no one has answered if the I discriminate bombing of Germany and Japan on a larger scale was moral. You are not engaging in honest discussion.



The bombing of Germany and Japan was not at the instruction of your (alleged) God, so it's irrelevant. Besides, you don't excuse bad behavior with other bad behaviors. The person not being honest is you. There's not moral equivalent between the aggression of the Axis powers in WWII and a few young bucks getting with some of the hotties from the neighboring tribe. Additionally, after the Axis powers surrendered, WE DIDN'T MURDER EVERYONE EXCEPT THE BREEDING AGE VIRGINS.

We did not engage in Genocide, in contrast, the Bible details over 30 genocides committed by the Israelites.


Under those times it would not have been considered an atrocity by any God/god or nation. Your alleged morals would have scorned by all nations of that time. They all were more brutal than Israel including child sacrifice.
What moral standard are you basing your judgment on? Certainly not one in effect in those times. Your reasoning is typical liberal with no moral basis or consideration of ancient law. There is no moral transgression unless a moral law is broken.

The Canaanites were offered terms of surrender. Israel was not allowed to expand beyond their prescribed borders with these measures.

Any current moral standard of judgment that you introduce will also not apply to those times but will apply to Allied bombings. Your thesis fails.
