    No need, it’s already part of it and has been for centuries.

    Remember how the Catholic church raped kids and protected pedophiles? It’s not just Catholicism.

    Numbers 31:17-18 KJV

    Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him. But all the women children, that have not known a man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves.

      Numbers is good but for the very best ultra-violence I suggest Deuteronomy

      Deut. 21:18-21

      18 If someone has a stubborn and rebellious son who does not obey his father and mother and will not listen to them when they discipline him, 19 his father and mother shall take hold of him and bring him to the elders at the gate of his town. 20 They shall say to the elders, “This son of ours is stubborn and rebellious. He will not obey us. He is a glutton and a drunkard.” 21 Then all the men of his town are to stone him to death.

    Have you read the Bible? Harems, concubines, child brides, slavery, women shouldn’t speak, etc…

    “Well God can use ‘imperfect people’. Just look at King David.”

    How that story actually went…


    David: Has an affair with Bathsheba and has her husband assassinated.

    God: “Listen here you little shit. I gave you everything you could ever want and you decided that wasn’t enough. I’m feeling merciful so I won’t kill you like you killed Uriah. Instead, you can spend the rest of your miserable life suffering the consequences of your evil deeds.”

      Yes, instead he tortures David’s innocent child to death for a week for David’s crime. And no punishment at all for the 200 philistine foreskins or any other of David’s immoral behaviour

    At first I though this wasn’t a shitpost.

    Then I thought shitposts have evolved into what would previously have been called cutting, brilliant satire. Then I thought that fascists killed satire, and this is just straight-up news.

    Finally I realized this is indeed a shitpost and should have just thought “Yeah, heh.” And be done with it.

      Old enough to be considered a woman, but culturally it could have been as young as 16.

      When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the baby leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit. In a loud voice she exclaimed: “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the child you will bear! (Luke 1:41-42)

        There wasn’t consent though. It can be spun that way, but biblically Mary was destined to carry, and screw any free will.

            Yes. it can absolutely be spun that way, as I said. As most anything in the Bible can be. Let me ask this then. Could she have said no? And when would that have happened?

          however it is a misconception that people married and had kids young in the past. generally it was in your early 20s even in antiquity

          She was called a woman by her cousin who was so old that John the Baptist’s birth was miraculous. She could have been older, not all women married young. But to be considered a woman she wouldn’t have been 13.
