Today it seems I have to rely on the Almighty to point it out to me before it smashes into my face and kills me.
So. To save the "Almighty" from having to point it out I will repost (for Grunt's sake because he seems to be incapable of navigating back to page 14)

Is that the best you can do?
Deuteronomy 22:25-27
25 But if out in the country a man happens to meet a girl pledged to be married and rapes her, only the man who has done this shall die. 26 Do nothing to the girl; she has committed no sin deserving death. This case is like that of someone who attacks and murders his neighbor, 27 for the man found the girl out in the country, and though the betrothed girl screamed, there was no one to rescue her.
ref
But if she is not betrothed?22:28 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;
22:29 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.
so it's ok if "the damsel" doesn't belong to a man, Eh?
Ephesians 6
Children and Parents
Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. 2"Honor your father and mother"—which is the first commandment with a promise— 3"that it may go well with you and that you may enjoy long life on the earth."[a] Fathers, do not exasperate your children; instead, bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord.Exasperate?
The training and instruction is, I believe, what you guy's call Paddling
Don't bother arguing, I could refute all of your silly arguements but, like most here, can't be bothered. -
This sort of sub-editor gaffe has happened to me and then been published under my name (I'm still recovering from it).
The very first column I wrote was "Edited" to make it mean exactly the opposite of my intention. It was a satirical piece about privatisation, I was against, and that, it appeared, was against editorial policy, so they changed it to read the way they wanted.
I think I must have scared the crap out of the editor, I burst into his office screaming like a banshee and demanded they either print what I wrote or I was outa there. They didn't change a word from then on, they just canned my column about a year later. -
I cringed so hard I needed medical attention.
I wish I hadn't followed that link Russ. She makes Dick gruntster seem, almost, well, um, whatever.

So, uh Steve, when you said there was nothing against rape and child abuse in the bible you were ignoring the examples I provided, right?
Sigh. Wrong again. Second post after yours on page 14.
There's none so blind as those who will not see. -
Never wrestle with a pig - you assume undignified positions, you get covered in mud and you're left with the suspicion that the pig enjoyed it.
Ah. Well then,let me think about that...............I quite like pigs, they seem to be quite contented to snuffle around in the muck, I quite like K Road. Sometimes, after a good night, I may, indeed, feel a little grubby after enduring an undignified position but, at least, I wrestled a pig.
I guess it depends which way you look at it.
And. Not having to go out to clubs every weekend to pull chicks, or blokes or yourself or whatever means you actually have a life, at last.

Excellent post Richard.
I have a question.
How come, if you can write with such passion about the future of transport in Auckland, you were against my proposal to run fibre in the sewers as a FTTH solution? -
And. On second look, I'm sure some of those pix are of the same person, or do they "All look the same to me" ;-)
