God is not punishing us. God is punishing the rapist. Read the verses again:
Deuteronomy 22:28 If a man find a damsel that is a virgin, which is not betrothed, and lay hold on her, and lie with her, and they be found;
Deuteronomy 22:29 Then the man that lay with her shall give unto the damsel's father fifty shekels of silver, and she shall be his wife; because he hath humbled her, he may not put her away all his days.
First of all the rapist is forced to compensate the girl's father. But God's infinite mercy doesn't end here (if it ended here it wouldn't be infinite, right?).
God knows that once a woman has played the whore against her father, no True Christian™ man would want to marry her. That's why God demands the rapist to marry her. In modern English this would be, "You broke it, you bought it".
"
he may not put her away all his days". The punishment is directed at the rapist. Not only must he compensate the girls' father, but he also gets a life sentence.

That is correct, Not all Christians are like you.
We are some who read the Bible, live by the Bible and die by the Bible.
