The Bible on how to Properly Pillage Women: Deuteronomy 21:10-14

"When the LORD your God gives you victory in battle and you take prisoners, you may see among them a beautiful woman that you like and want to marry. Take her to your home, where she will shave her head, cut her fingernails, and change her clothes. She is to stay in your home and mourn for her parents for a month; after that, you may marry her. Later, if you no longer want her, you are to let her go free. Since you forced her to have intercourse with you, you cannot treat her as a slave and sell her. -Deuteronomy 21:10-14 GNB

 These verses are a great example of the primitive/barbaric mindset of the authors. Breaking this down, starting off with:  "When the LORD your God gives you victory in battle and you take prisoners, you may see among them a beautiful woman that you like and want to marry". This shows that the Bible supports taking citizens of an enemy nation as prisoners, presumably to be used as slaves, wives (suppose there is not much of a difference here) etc.

If a person sees a "beautiful woman" that they would "want to marry", they are to take her home and she is to to "shave her head, cut her fingernails, and change her clothes". I wonder why they would want her to shave her head and cut her fingernails, this sounds sort of similar to the preparation the Jews had to undergo before entering a concentration camp (not drawing any parallels beyond that). 


"She is to stay in your home and mourn for her parents for a month; after that, you may marry her". So her parents were killed then? That would be the assumption, being that she is mourning them. Does this imply that if you are to steal a woman from a captured civilization, you must murder her parents first?

The last part of the quote: "Later, if you no longer want her, you are to let her go free. Since you forced her to have intercourse with you, you cannot treat her as a slave and sell her." So it is okay to essentially steal a female from a rival civilization, force her into having "intercourse with you" (along with marriage), but not okay to sell her as a slave; its good to know where they draw the line.

The Biblical moral here is: err, uuhhhh.....if it's in the Bible it must be moral (go ask a Christian about it).
