Why cults lie
Reverend Squatch
The verses Atheists use in the real context. Deuteronomy 22: 25 But if a man find a betrothed damsel in the field, and the man force her, and lie with her: then the man only that lay with her shall die.
26 But unto the damsel thou shalt do nothing; there is in the damsel no sin worthy of death: for as when a man riseth against his neighbour, and slayeth him, even so is this matter:
27 For he found her in the field, and the betrothed damsel cried, and there was none to save her.
28 If a man find a damsel that is a virgin, which is not betrothed, and lay hold on her, and lie with her, and they be found;
29 Then the man that lay with her shall give unto the damsel's father fifty shekels of silver, and she shall be his wife; because he hath humbled her, he may not put her away all his days.
In 25 through 27 it is clearly talking about rape and gives the death penalty as the punishment, but in 28 and 29 it is talking about (unmarried) consenting adults and their punishment which is much more lenient. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nMxFXVsOis0
