Considering Jephtah’s reaction, I’d say he saw his daughter valuable.

Maybe all cruciferous vegetables are tools of the dark one?

votes have no intrinsic value, except in systems where you can buy politicians.
Whoops! did I expose a flaw in our democratic system?

Knock yourself out. You’ve got about 2000 years of background reading to do to get up to speed on what other theologians have thought about those questions. 
Once you’ve done that, write your own thesis and engage in the brisk cut and thrust of academic debate. Possibly, you could be up with Thomas Aquinas and St. Augustine.
Or alternatively, sit yourself down with wikipedia, take a 5 minute stroll through Conservapedia, cobble up any old crap, set up your own radio ‘ministry’ and rake in the cash.
Just make sure your stance on those questions is:
a) firmly prescriptive (none of this wishy-washy “well, it might be this or it might be that”. Certainty is required); and
b) controversial, ideally a little bit racist and homophobic. If you can manage to be racist and homophobic while also sending out a message of “but it’s not really their fault, the Lord will sort it all out for them” so much the better. Whether the Lord will sort it out with fire and brimstone is optional but makes for more media coverage.
Then sit back (in your nicely padded ergonomic radio studio chair) and wait for the donations to rack up to the point that you struggle to find enough hangar space for your private jets.

Some people live on a constant diet of this kind of drivel. Sadly, it is serious for many of them.
Discerning a whackadoodle from a sociopath ready to exploit this is kind of hard, tho.

I can hardly wait until someone serves him some tasty dish that he proclaims “the best fried chicken tenders I have ever had”, and then videos his reaction when they tell him he’s just eaten… SATAN!!!
Meaning ‘seitan’, of course…
