Conversation is being held on other threads about absolutes and objective rights and wrongs.
I say rape is inherently bad, not "a societal misdeed" but wrong.
Then I watch as atheists (in error) criticize the Bible for not condemning rape, when it most certainly does (as usual atheists point to the Bible and miss). If two fornicate in the Old Testament, they both receive capital punishment but if a woman cries for help while assaulted, only her rapist is punished . . . by death. Of course both passages regarding consensual sex and rape are collocated in the Bible, but why bother to ask an atheist to actually read more than a verse or two? It's taking for them, poor souls.
Of course, we would say that the atheists who say on one hand "rape isn't inherently bad" but on the other hand, "the Bible is inherently bad for not condemning rape" are behaving both ignorantly (quick, name every American President and Supreme Court Justice on record for condemning rape--are the ones not on the list bad?) and SELF-RIGHTEOUSLY.
How can an atheist behave self-righteously when they believe neither in righteousness nor its opposite, sinfulness?
Stop being self-righteous, oh atheists! (At least until such time as you admit to absolute, objective moral codes.)
Today's rant is concluded.
