Is rape only punishable by a fine in the Bible? (Reblog)

Today I wanted to share a post made by another armchair loving friend of mine – the Armchair Theologian. He made a post a while ago responding to a claim made by some atheists that rape is only punishable by a fine in the Bible. I don’t have much to add to it, except that I share his frustrations that too often Bible verses are cherry picked or taken wildly out of context when the whole of Scripture is criticized as archaic lunacy.

Hope you enjoy!
