I have written before about Islam and about Muhammad's sexual behaviour which Muslims are mostly unaware of. Here are a few facts about the Bible and Christianity which are equally shocking and which most Christians are ignorant of.
If Christians read their Bible, they would know that the biblical model of sex and marriage has little to do with what they believe. Stories in that "holy" book depict rape, incest, master-slave sexual relations, polygamy, coerced marriage of young virgins and more, their god endorsing all of them to the point of providing detailed regulations.
Polygamy is a norm in the Old Testament and accepted in the New Testament. At least 40 biblical figures had multiple wives. The list includes patriarchs like Abraham and Isaac. King David, the first king of Israel, may have limited himself to eight wives, but his son Solomon, had 700 wives and 300 concubines (sex slaves)! The Bible gives instructions on acquisition of several types of sex slaves.
A Hebrew can sell his daughter to another Hebrew, who then has certain obligations to her once she is used. For example, he can’t then sell her to a foreigner.
In the book of Numbers (31:18) God commands the Israelites to kill all of the used Midianite women who have been captured in war and all the male children, but to keep all of the virgin girls for themselves. The Law of Moses spells out a purification ritual to prepare a captive virgin for life as a concubine. It requires her owner to shave her head and trim her nails and give her a month to mourn her parents before the first sex act (Deuteronomy 21:10-14). A Hebrew girl who is raped can be sold to her rapist for 50 shekels (Deuteronomy 22:28-29). He must then keep her as one of his wives for as long as she lives.
Hallelujah!
