Here you go:
In a conversation about the Bible after the lecture, a student pointed out that the Bible condones rape in the following passage from Numbers 31:
“17 Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman that has known man by lying with him. 18 But all the women children, that have not known a man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves.”
Mackay argued that this is not rape, because the girls were forced to enter a “legitimate Jewish marriage” first (after having their family murdered by their soon-to-be husbands), and obviously you can’t rape your own wife. Not only is it not rape, but Mackay believes this is apparently not even immoral for God to command this and for the Israelites to carry it out. |
And it goes on, with a link to MacKay's website (see article) and more:
"This goes further than an opinion about the Bible. Mackay sincerely believes that even today, rape within marriage is a contradiction, and that forced marriage can be legitimate. The idea that rape is wrong is apparently a recent secular invention." |
They quote MacKay here:
| “The modern atheist mind wants to use modern their [sic] definition of rape as an absolute, such that a woman both before and after marriage is an autonomous being who has rights to resist any man including the man she married, and if he insists on sex, then that is rape and the male is legally guilty of a crime.”" |
Uh, aren't those people the ones who pretend to have "absolute morality"?

What brought that on? this. Original posting here.
Another example of this guy's lunacy here. |

Yeah, they're saying it's absolutely okay to rape your wife. |

According to the Bible women are property or should be effectively treated as such. Absolutely wives are NOT equal to the man of the household according to the Bible and should submit to her husband. If I didn't understand the immorality with that belief it would be a good thing for me to get my morals from the Bible now wouldn't it.
I'm not saying everything in the Bible is immoral. I saying where there is morality in the Bible it is moral because it is moral, not because it is in the Bible and where there is immorality in the Bible it is not moral because it's in the Bible. So much for getting one's moral guidance from a Book written by bronze age goat herders. I've read the Bible is a collection of fairytales written by illiterate goat herders back in the Bronze Age (Link) but if they were 'illiterate' there wouldn't be a problem today would there? |

What exactly does that mean? Why don't you explain what that means for some of the slow people here who need a guide book for teaching them morality? Maybe someone should remind you that it was not an Atheist movement that fought pushing through marital rape laws. |

I think it's pretty clear what it means. Clear enough for any lamb or small child to understand, but not you evidently.
Usually I don't explain myself if I believe my meaning is clear but I will do so for you on this occasion. This guy Mackay seems to be implying that only Atheists believe marital rape is a crime. He says as much with the 3rd quote in the original post. He's trying to turn the issue of marital rape into a Christian Vs Atheist one, when it just isn't. Thus, I spake; "Someone needs to remind him that it was not an atheist movement that pushed through marital rape laws." Rather it was a movement with no single religious or political allegiance.
Maybe you're so concerned about posting belligerent replies to each and everyone one of my comments (no matter how innocuous) that you fail to consider the meaning. Perhaps you should attempt to read posts as if they are anonymous, before you attempt to formulate meanings in your mind. It might help you circumvent your brain's prejudice and prejudging tenancies.
| What exactly does that mean? Why don't you explain what that means for some of the slow people here who need a guide book for teaching them morality? |
You also seem to be confused with your sarcasm. If you don't understand and you're saying and I need to explain for slow people who need a book for morality, you are putting yourself in that group. You're lumping yourself in with people you are trying to insult. |

I'll do that in the future, a kind of New Years resolution. Any further comment right now would undoubtedly be interpreted by you as immediately failing right out of the gate. |

I agree, but you completely obscure the point, which is that there are still some backward theocratic ASSHOLES who believe this shit is perfectly okay. And they aren't atheists.
