So you say the Torah tells Jews to go into villages, kill everybody and take the girl virgins as captives?
Now tell me this you genius! When did this last actually happen? When did pious Jews raid a village, kill everybody except the girl virgins and keep them as captives????
Tell me one example of them doing this? Just one example in the last say 500 years? Just one documents case?
There are none because the vast majority of Jews, being thinking people, do not go out and murder whole villages and take the virgin girls as sex slaves. They interpret the Torah. they question, argue and they think.
However, there are many examples of the followers of another religion who have gone out and murdered every man woman and child, and raped and stolen the young female girls. I do not have to go back 3000 years for an example.
A quick google search will show exactly what I am talking about Slayhy.
