so, like. that's they- conservative Christians, especially conservative christian men- think the world should be.

remember that the biblical practice was men buying their wives from their fathers. (and also remember, that if a man raped a young woman who was unmarried, he could make that acceptable by paying the bride price and taking her as a wife. rape was a property crime in their world view.)

Anyone who insists biblical morality is the end-all-be-all of morality is either a straight up monster, or someone who doesn't understand biblical morality. Usually both.

(just to be clear, biblical morality has less to do a particular culture- that was a normal practice across the region. it's bronze age men being assholes, not a specific group.)
