16 Problems with Divine Command Theory

10) But God would never command rape! Apart from he did.

The defence that God would never command bad things like murder and rape (i.e., that it is not in his nature) is falsified by the very fact that he DID command it in the Bible! Including the death of all men, women, children and animals in different contexts. Some examples:

Murder, rape, and pillage at Jabesh-gilead (Judges 21:10-24)

Murder, rape and pillage of the Midianites (Numbers 31:7-18)

More Murder Rape and Pillage (Deuteronomy 20:10-14)

Laws of Rape (Deuteronomy 22:28-29)

Death to the Rape Victim (Deuteronomy 22:23-24)

David’s Punishment – Polygamy, Rape, Baby Killing, and God’s “Forgiveness” (2 Samuel 12:11-14)

Rape of Female Captives (Deuteronomy 21:10-14)

Rape and the Spoils of War (Judges 5:30)

Sex Slaves (Exodus 21:7-11)

God Assists Rape and Plunder (Zechariah 14:1-2)

Nice.
