Deuteronomy 22:28–29 says a man who violates an unmarried woman must pay her father 50 shekels and marry her.
The father gets compensation. The man gets a wife. The woman gets no explicit say.
Read that again, then explain how this reflects perfect moral wisdom.

Jesus was a sad delusional failed apocalyptic doom prophet who died badly and had supernatural fan-fiction made up later about him because a few of his dopey followers sincerely believed they saw him after he died
The end
Still in the dirt
No resurrection
Imagine threatening someone with eternal torture for refusing to believe you, then expecting them to admire your morality.
An infinite punishment for finite human choices. No proportionality, no rehabilitation, no mercy.
And somehow this is supposed to be perfect justice?
Epstein was already a convicted sex offender, yet young women were still being sent to him through modelling agencies.
How did those introductions continue? Who knew what was happening? And why has accountability for the people who enabled his access taken so long?
Those women deserved protection.
BBC Eye has uncovered new evidence showing how scouts, agencies and powerful fashion figures helped Jeffrey Epstein gain access to young women after his conviction for sex offences.
Over a year, BBC Eye examined more than three million pages released by the US Department of Justice and spoke to more than 100 models from 14 countries.
Many of them shared their stories for the first time.

Scientists have literally observed single-celled yeast evolve multicellularity in laboratories.
DNA and fossils independently document the broader history of evolution.
You don’t get to dismiss billions of years of evidence because nobody can replay the entire process for your convenience.

You admit you have no idea whether Brand committed rape, then confidently declare it can’t be proved.
A jury unanimously convicted him after a four-week trial, while acquitting him on three other charges.
Your ignorance of the evidence doesn’t invalidate the verdict.
I have no idea if Russell Brand ever raped anybody. I have no idea if Russell Brand is a true Christ follower now. I do know that he has a horrifically debauched past, that Christ can redeem even the most vile of sinners, and that forgiveness on the cross doesn’t absolve you of earthly consequences.
But I am extremely concerned about throwing a man in prison for a decade over a rape allegation that he denies, and you can’t prove. That should terrify anyone.
A church can be a wonderful community and still teach things that are false.
A welcoming atmosphere isn't a method of establishing truth.

The moment a religious leader tells you to keep abuse allegations inside the church, ask whose safety that silence protects.
Arabic-speaking Christians call god “allah”. Muslims regard Muhammad as a prophet, not a god. Buddhists don’t regard Buddha as a creator god.
Three religions mentioned, three basic misunderstandings. Perhaps learn about other people’s beliefs before teaching children to reject them.

A newborn has no theology.
Adults supply the religious label before the child can even form a sentence.
Being born into a religion tells me where your parents stood.
It tells me remarkably little about whether their beliefs were correct.
Religion can give people a community so valuable that questioning its beliefs risks losing everyone they love.
That's one hell of a pressure system.

🚨 NEW: A second unnamed male celebrity has secured an injunction stopping him from being named over sexual abuse allegations

Wings have a function. That doesn’t establish a designer.
Feathers evolved before flight and were later adapted for it. Evolution explains how structures acquire new functions without anyone planning them.
You’ve confused what something DOES with what someone INTENDED it to do.
To believe in evolution via naturalism you have to actually deny purpose altogether… even though we see it everywhere. Hands are for* grabbing, a heart is for* pumping blood, wings are for* flying…
But to be consistent you’d have to deny literally all purpose, don’t believe your lying eyes. A wing isn’t FOR flying, it happens to be able to fly, and it’s seemingly beneficial to the organism it’s attached to, that’s all. But it’s not FOR flying.
If you’re like me and you think that’s absurd, you should completely reject evolution via naturalism.
