If God hasn't changed since the Old Testament, then I certainly don't want to worship Him.

As for the whole rape/seduction thing, rape is everywhere in the bible, especially the OT. I'm just too lazy to drag out all the quotes today. My opinion (because I don't Hebrew, Aramaic or Latin or Greek either): The line between rape and seduction is quite blurry anywhere in the Bible. Since women weren't supposed to have a will of their own in Biblical times, I don't think there was a huge distinction between rape and seduction.

If you don't mind me asking, why are you defending the Bible and its followers? Didn't you say you were Wiccan or Pagan somewhere else? (BTW, I'm glad you're back in Cellar.)
