It says in the Bible that a raped woman who did not cry for help should be stoned. The rapist should pay 50 pieces of silver to her father and marry her, etc. I am amazed that so many religious people are so adamant about following things such as not eating pork, unkosher food, or sex before marriage yet they don't follow the other absolutely ridiculous beliefs. So is the dogma of not eating pork, sex before marriage outdated in an age of medicine, condoms and the like? If you followed the entire bible literally in todays world, you would have a very misarable existence. An orthodox jew I know must not use any electronics from fri sun down to sunday sun up. Is it just me or are these things ridiculous? Any sources? I do not understand how even after the concept of 6 day creatin and adam and eve have been disprooved, people still chose to believe in the literal dogma rather than the cryptic meaning of the word.

I underdstand that back then they did not have condoms so no sex until married was their brith/disease control. Same with pork and unkosher foods. But come on...these things do not apply today...

I don't think good grammar is outdated - it's a measure of your level of self-education.
