He simply tries to scare his daughter but his reaction is jarring nonetheless. Her feelings about the matter are quite notable as well given that she conflates both his influence on her as it pertains to counteracting the Christian faith and that of Satan doing the same. There is then a shift back to the historical support or persecution (usually the latter) of Christians. Indeed, Christians (and Jews for that matter) have been persecuted a great deal over the years. There were other times where one might say that Christians were doing the persecuting (e.g. the Crusades). Even so, the struggles that exist relating to religion and just how far people will go when others don't see the world in the same way vis-a-vis who created it and who is in charge. Indeed, Jews and Christians diverge on a few notable things and the emergence of Islam in the 600's AD aggravated that...
The passage is fairly clear that anything touched at that time is unclean and that no man should have sex with a woman that is having their monthly period. The passage even goes so far as to talk about rituals and such surrounding the same. Such rituals are obviously not followed today and suggesting them to anyone would probably elicit ridicule or even laughter.

Imagination, Faith, And Reason Truth is an intangible idea that people have tried to get a grasp on since the dawn of time. It is often hard to determine what is true and what is false and how to categorize the things that are seen and done.
