Rape (not really) and Plunder in the Bible

    Deuteronomy 20:10-14

    "As you approach a town to attack it, first offer its people terms for peace. If they accept your terms and open the gates to you, then all the people inside will serve you in forced labor. But if they refuse to make peace and prepare to fight, you must attack the town. When the LORD your God hands it over to you, kill every man in the town. 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."


    Disgusting stuff. Or is this another part of the bible that's ignored?

    Not ignored.

    That passage (which, of course, doesn't mention rape at all) is discussed extensively in the Atheist/Christian debate thread - so take it there please. Might be better if you read what had already been discussed - otherwise you'll just come over as a troll, and we wouldn't want that, would we?
