sorry ladies, but your body isn't really yours

oh, and rape? sorry, but it requires at least 2 or 3 witnesses for it to be valid. Forget that DNA evidence - it doesn't count cuz it isn't in the good book.

so says Ron Hamm, the pastor of the Independent Baptist Church of Wasilla, AK (yes THAT Wasilla)

"...And while I understand that in Alaska the lone female is able to convict her alleged perpetrator, this goes contrary to the Bible. In the book of Deuteronomy we find the following: “One witness shall not rise up against a man for any iniquity, or for any sin, in any sin that he sinneth: at the mouth of two witnesses, or at the mouth of three witnesses, shall the matter be established.”

"While in our day of feminism it is asserted that a woman’s body is her own. Biblically speaking, this is only true prior to marriage, for in Paul’s first epistle to the Corinthians we read: “Let the husband render unto the wife due benevolence: and likewise also the wife unto the husband. The wife hath not power of her own body, but the husband: and likewise also the husband hath not power of his own body, but the wife.”

So if I punch him in the balls and make it look like an accident, it doesn't count unless there were a few witnesses, right? ;)

And if you were married to him it would be your balls you would be punching, if I understand correctly. Wouldn't the whole male owns female bit make sex between a married couple a form of masturbation?

Yup! And in fact, some feminists say that because the woman's body is being used as a perpetual sex toy, that the entire relationship is one big sexual assault fest. I don't think all the people who claim they believe this stuff really do. For example one of my friends said she didn't think she could be raped by husband, but then she was quick to point out he would never do that to her anyway, which would make no sense unless she recognized that some actions are wrong even when they're "right".

I've known a guy that thought that he couldn't rape his wife because they had become one body and blood at the day of marriage.

I puked inside my mouth a little when I heard that.

some actions are wrong even when they're "right".

Owning another person is never right.

Yea, biblical literalists never understand how their ideals, particularly in regards to justice and society in general, just aren't realistic.

It's all just illogical sexist crap.

Alrighty then! More Bronze/Iron Age, tribal, barbaric wisdom to live by. So I guess the next time I'm in Court and a client is charged with domestic violence, I can use the 'ole Deuteronomy/Corinthians defense. "Screw this noise judge, she's the only witness. Plus, your honor, her broken collar bone, ruptured spleen, and fractured eye socket are his property anyway." Yeah, that's going to fly!!!

Glad to see the Wasilla hillbillies, snake handlers, and witch doctors are finally moving in to the 2nd millennium (BCE).

WHAT don't people GET about the fact that believing the bible to be the word of 'god' doesn't mean it is???? It's just a HORRIBLE and NOT GOOD book!!! Such idiocy. Blows my mind.

Apart from the obvious one of the things i find most disturbing about his is how normal, professional and generic thepublication looks. How can such evil be disguised with such normalcy.. oh thats right he is a Reverend.
