    @LeftWingPharisee, I know I am harping on this verse, but one more thing

    Dont you at least find it a little odd, that in this book, which is "God's Words', God can not find time to come out and condemn slavery, warn against incest, or provide some useful knowledge about the world like that we are part of a solar system or that germs make people sick…….

    Yet can devote an entire paragraph to outlining the procedure for dealing with what to do if two men are fighting and the wife of one of them comes to rescue her husband from the man who is beating him, by grabbing the other man's genitals?

    And even so… Why is the woman in the wrong here? She was trying to break up a fight! Shouldn’t she be rewarded?

    Honestly speaking, do you see no absurdity in this?
