Hey random Facebook idiot, don’t you think God would have given you a working brain if he were truly amazing?

Notice this was posted Sunday at 11am, I bet she was told this at church and found it so inspiring she had to share it with the world.

‘If, while in a town, a man happens to meet a woman who is engaged to be married and he has sex with her, take them both to the gate of the town and stone them to death: the girl, for not having cried for help in the town; the man, for having violated another man’s wife. You must banish this evil from among you.’

‘But if, while out in the country, a man happens to meet a girl engaged to be married, and seizes her and rapes her, the rapist alone must die. You must do nothing to the girl. She has not committed a sin worthy of death, for she may have called out for help without anyone coming to her rescue.’

‘If a man happens to meet a virgin woman who is not engaged to be married, and he seizes her and rapes her, but is caught in the act, he rapist must pay the girl’s father fifty silver shekels.  She must marry the rapist, because he has violated her. And so long as he lives, he may not divorce her.’

Deuteronomy 22:23-29

This is your “word of God” and the basis of all the world’s morality?

Update:
The notion that these rules (and the other ridiculous ones riddled throughout the text) do not apply to Christians, because Jesus formed a new “covenant” is ridiculous.  If the text is the indefectible word of god, you can not take bits and pieces and say that some are no longer valid.
To quote the Bible,
“Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.” - James 1:17

Euthyphro’s Dilemma summed up nicely

Every once in a while Plato would write something with which I can actually agree. Here’s one of such things.

A fun read!

Here’s the section on evolution:

• The word theory in the theory of evolution does not imply doubt from mainstream science regarding its validity; the concepts of theory and hypothesis have specific meanings in a scientific context. Whiletheory in colloquial usage may denote a hunch or conjecture, a scientific theory is a set of principles that explains observable phenomena in natural terms.^[148][149] Evolution is a theory in the same sense as germ theory, gravitation, or plate tectonics.^[150] (See Objections to Evolution.)
• Evolution does not claim humans evolved from monkeys,^[151] chimpanzees^[152] or any other modern-day primates. Instead, fossil evidence has shown that humans and monkeys share a common ancestor that lived about 40 million years ago.^[153] This common ancestor diverged into separate lineages, one evolving into so-called New World monkeys and the other into Old World monkeys andapes.^[154] Humans are included in the Homindae family of apes, which also includes chimpanzees, gorillas, and orangutans. Similarly, the common ancestor of humans and chimpanzees, which lived between 5 and 8 million years ago, evolved into two lineages, one eventually becoming modern humans and the other splitting again into chimpanzees and bonobos.^[151] Thus, one cannot consider any present-day monkeys or apes as reflecting how humans “used to look” or behave. All extant animal groups have evolved over the same amount of time.
• Evolution is not a progression from inferior to superior organisms, and it also does not necessarily require an increase in complexity (see evolution of complexity). A population can evolve to become simpler, having a smaller genome, but devolution is a misnomer.^[155][156]
• It is a common misconception, even among adults, that humans and dinosaurs (in the ordinary sense of the term) coexisted. According to the California Academy of Sciences, around 41% of U.S. adults mistakenly believe they co-existed.^[157] The last of the dinosaurs died around 65 million years ago, after the Cretaceous–Tertiary extinction event, whereas the earliest Homo genus (humans) evolved between 2.3 and 2.4 million years ago.
