I did click on that link, and now I need a glass of wine to calm my nerves.
What kind of an idiot is that?! If Jephtah's daughter was not sacrificed, then why were young ladies mourning her each anniversary of the sacrifice?!
Judges 11:39-40
39 And it came to pass at the end of two months, that she returned unto her father, who did with her according to his vow which he had vowed: and she knew no man. And it was a custom in Israel,
40 That the daughters of Israel went yearly to lament the daughter of Jephthah the Gileadite four days in a year.
