    How about Numbers 31:17-18 where Moses says:

    Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him.

    But all the women children, that have not known a man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves.

      Definitely not as sex slaves, as a certain religious person I know argues, as apparently that would be intermarriage and forbidden! They just have to live with the trauma of having their entire family brutally murdered before them, and then being enslaved to the murderers for the rest of their lives. So much better!

    But that book is the only thing that keeps them from going on murderous rampages. Coming to think of it, it’s not even very good at stopping the murderous rampages.

      The Crusades, the Inquisition, the war in the middle east - all Abrahamic-religiously motivated murderous activities.
