You are still avoiding the question.
That's because people who ask disingenuous questions don't deserve explanations.

It's not disingenuous. You aren't even really ignoring it, you're acknowledging it and not answering, which is the worst place to be in. Some people like to ask stupid questions to get people to have to acknowledge it. You're acknowledging it, but you're not rebutting it. You would've been better off just ignoring it entirely if you really think it's disingenuous, or saying "I don't think you're being honest here."
Better off in whose eyes...? Your imaginary audience sounds alot different than mine.
I would have been better off had you fucked off, tbh. Or if I had gone to sleep an hour ago.

It's not disingenuous if your God condones rape, while you have been speaking against it.
- Numbers 30:15-1815 And Moses was angry with the officers, and said to them,
Have you saved all the women alive?
16 Behold, these caused the children of Israel, through the counsel of Balaam, to commit trespass against the LORD in the matter of Peor, and there was a plague among the congregation of the LORD.
These are the women that caused the Israelites, through the counsel of Balaam, to trespass against God in the matter of Peor, and there was a plague on the congregation.
17 Now go and kill all the young males and every non-virgin woman.
18 But all the virgin females, keep alive for yourselves.
Do you approve of killing the children of your enemies and raping your virgin female enemies?
That's Moses speaking, not God... and the word rape wasn't used here, so... this is actually more like treating women as trade-goods. Women were pretty much traded like cattle back in these days, so... just you being disingenuous as usual.
As I said earlier, if we can imagine this were your offspring, and this were way back then, I actually think it would be best for the world if we killed off as much of your seed as possible so that it didn't spread and ultimately infect the world and destroy everything. In this sense you could say Moses is doing the world a favor. So yes, I actually am fine with this sort of thing.
I don't think it lives up to the universal ideal, but again this is not God speaking, this is Moses, so keep trying.
There are a lot of such instructions that come straight from "God" in the bible.
Are you saying you're better than "God"? A low bar, but better than nothing I guess.
Only a few passages on from this:
- Numbers 30:25-3525 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
26 Take the sum of the prey that was taken, both of man and of beast, thou, and Eleazar the priest, and the chief fathers of the congregation:
27 And divide the prey into two parts; between them that took the war upon them, who went out to battle, and between all the congregation:
28 And levy a tribute unto the Lord of the men of war which went out to battle: one soul of five hundred, both of the persons, and of the beeves, and of the asses, and of the sheep:
29 Take it of their half, and give it unto Eleazar the priest, for an heave offering of the LORD.
30 And of the children of Israel's half, thou shalt take one portion of fifty, of the persons, of the beeves, of the asses, and of the flocks, of all manner of beasts, and give them unto the Levites, which keep the charge of the tabernacle of the LORD.
31 And Moses and Eleazar the priest did as the LORD commanded Moses.
32 And the booty, being the rest of the prey which the men of war had caught, was six hundred thousand and seventy thousand and five thousand sheep,
33 And threescore and twelve thousand beeves,
34 And threescore and one thousand asses,
35 And thirty and two thousand persons in all, of women that had not known man by lying with him.
