And these were used as concubines, sex-slaves in other words. Anyone else think that sounds alittle too close to Paedophilia to them?

Not at all. Pedophiles are attracted to prepubescents.
Meanwhile, in those days, marriage of girls as soon as they were able to bear children was common. Remember, many women died in childbirth, babies weren't counted in census until they were at least a month old because so many died, and people generally died young.
It was necessary to bear as many children as possible.
So no, "under 18" does not mean "child" except here in our little privileged First World where 25-year-olds are still "children".
Here I thought you atheists were all about "cultural relativism". But not when it applies to the ancient Jews, I guess?

Yeah, that came out different then I meant it to lol, I mean that God is a loving entity, so he would love Humanity, if I am right, he loved Humanity even more then his Angels, asking them to bow before Humans, which caused Lucifer to split from the angels in the first place.

Dante is not Scripture. That's a made-up story.

You
really need to read the Bible if you think Jesus came before Moses.
