There are men, women, boys and girls. It says to kill the men, women, boys but not the virgin women and girls. What the fuck do you think they're going to do with virgins? (rape).
Those women and girls are not going to willingly have sex after seeing their fathers, mothers and brothers killed you sicko.
At most you can avoid the embarrassment by claiming it's Mosaic law but that doesn't avoid the fact that your bible contains fucked up sickening shit.
@MMS21@dj Embarrassment? You're the one reading pedophilia into things where it isn't even implied, offering an insight into your own mind.
There are plenty of things to criticize the Old Testament for, including slavery (which, yes, almost certainly included rape). Exodus 21:7-10 makes it clear that women (and men, incidentally) could be sold as slaves, and women could be returned if they were not "pleasing" to their master. However, age is never mentioned.
The New Testament clearly condemns sexual immorality, almost constantly, and Jesus himself defends children (remember the millstone statement).
On the other hand, how old was Aisha when Mohammed raped her?
He's taking the vampire loli defense for Aisha so even if she looked like a child when married to Muhammed she was actually old enough for modern day sensibilities. (Muhammed had great insight into future AOC laws)
