Now I'm just irritated......
I took the most hard to believe of yoru quotes, and looked them up.
Muslimah, you paste information as truth without validating it. Or are we to believe you created this, and thus did so on purpose??
Let's look to Deuteronomy 22.......

Maybe you, or someone you pasted this from doesn't know english well, and therefore cannot understand what this says??
Let's begin......
I'll put the biblical quote, and then in today's english.
Quote:22 ¶ If a man be found lying with a woman married to a husband, then they shall both of them die, both the man that lay with the woman, and the woman: so shalt thou put away evil from Israel.If a man sleeps with a woman who is married, they shall both be put to death.
Quote:23 ¶ If a damsel that is a virgin be betrothed unto a husband, and a man find her in the city, and lie with her;If a woman who is engaged sleeps with another man they shall both be put to death.
24 then ye shall bring them both out unto the gate of that city, and ye shall stone them with stones that they die; the damsel, because she cried not, being in the city; and the man, because he hath humbled his neighbor's wife: so thou shalt put away evil from among you.
Quote:25 ¶ But if a man find a betrothed damsel in the field, and the man force her, and lie with her; then the man only that lay with her shall die:<b> Here is the passage about rapings </b>
26 but unto the damsel thou shalt do nothing; there is in the damsel no sin worthy of death: for as when a man riseth against his neighbor, and slayeth him, even so is this matter:
27 for he found her in the field, and the betrothed damsel cried, and there was none to save her.
If a man rapes a woman then only the man shall be put to death, nothing shall happen to the woman because she did not sin because she cried out and noone saved her.
Quote:28 ¶ If a man find a damsel that is a virgin, which is not betrothed, and lay hold on her, and lie with her, and they be found;<b> and now, here is your passage that is supposedly quoted, and then comepletely misrepresented. This is also restated in clarification in Exodus 16. </b>
29 then the man that lay with her shall give unto the damsel's father fifty shekels of silver, and she shall be his wife; because he hath humbled her, he may not put her away all his days
)
If a man sleeps with a woman who is not engaged or married, and he sleeps with her, then the man shall pay a fine to her father, and they are to be married.
Quote:Exodus' clarification: ¶ And if a man entice a maid that is not betrothed, and lie with her, he shall surely endow her to be his wife.If a man sleeps with a woman that is not engaged or married, they will be married, unless her father refuses to grant this. Then the man man shall pay his fine according to the present amount set for the times.
17 If her father utterly refuse to give her unto him, he shall pay money according to the dowry of virgins.
As far as I'm concerned, this pretty much invalidates your whole post. I won't waste my time goign through the rest, since your most "shocking" passage is a falsity.
