I can quote the bible too:
Then you can quote the best that there is to quote.
"If a man sells his daughter as a servant, she is not to go free as male servants do. If she does not please the master who has selected her for himself, he must let her be redeemed. He has no right to sell her to foreigners, because he has broken faith with her." Exodus 21:7
"Anyone who beats their male or female slave with a rod must be punished if the slave dies as a direct result, but they are not to be punished if the slave recovers after a day or two, since the slave is their property." Exodus 21:20
In America, a child is the property of his parents.
In ancient Israel, the best laws of the day in the whole world abounded.
"If a man seduces a virgin who is not pledged to be married and sleeps with her, he must pay the bride-price, and she shall be his wife." Exodus 22:16
(This is a great law for any rapist who wants to marry his rape victim... not so fun for the woman who is required to marry her rapist)
Not rape. She accepted his seduction. Voluntarily.
The command is to the man. The woman already accepted him. Now he needs to keep his part of the seduction agreement.
"Whoever sacrifices to any god other than the Lord must be destroyed" Exodus 22:20
(better start killing those other religions... God commands you to!)
This is an Old Testament command to the nation of Israel. Note that the passage, itself, doesn't state who is to do the destroying. Destruction happens to all who will not worship the God of the ancient Israelites.
"Now kill all the boys. And kill every woman who has slept with a man, but save for yourselves every girl who has never slept with a man." Numbers 31:17-18
(kill all the men, but keep the virgins as your property... now that's a plan!)
This was a great plan. Killing all the people who were against God was a great form of praise and worship. Marrying the virgins helped to keep in-breeding from happening, at the same time that the Israel men remained righteous by not killing a man and then stealing his wife.
