That still doesn't really say anything.
So, to ask you directly....

If God said rape was no longer wrong, would you become a rapist?
Yes or no?
No

He may not divorce her all his days."

Deuteronomy is brimming with sanctioned rape.

Take that one step further: According to God's 'ultimate sense of morality,' a rapist is to be punished by... marrying his victim.

There are better ways of passing on genes than forcing sex on people, just like there are better ways to have nice furniture for your house without stealing it.

My exact thoughts... just better phrased. The desire to pass on genes would justify sex. It does not justify rape. If the Christian thinks that rape and sex are the same thing, then I'm not the one with issues of morality.
