Someone said evilbible.com proves that the Bible contradicts itself and that God is not loving... the only thing it proved was that the person who runs it has not idea what they're talking about.
1. The "Rape in the Bible" section. One argument is: Death to the Rape Victim:(Deuteronomy 22:23-24 NAB)
If within the city a man comes upon a maiden who is betrothed, and has relations with her, you shall bring them both out of the gate of the city and there stone them to death: the girl because she did not cry out for help though she was in the city, and the man because he violated his neighbors wife.
they say: "It is clear that God doesn't give a damn about the rape victim. He is only concerned about the violation of another mans "property"."
The purpose of that passage is to say that if she LETS him have relations with her, NOT "if he rapes her, they wil both be stoned". Anyone can see that, especially if you read the whole chapter.
