Nor am I, with him; he has nothing cogent to say, after all. But batting around imbeciles is a fun game, and it reduces the risk of someone else being suckered in by this moron's intellectual black hole of an argument.

Quote:And if you want an exclusively evolutionary argument why rape is wrong, I can give you that too: the mother of your child is more likely to allow it to develop and survive to childbirth, plus nurture it in an environment that better equips it to survive in the world, if the child was conceived as a part of a consensual, loving relationship. It's the reason why parent couples are so common in our evolved child rearing strategy.
Serial rapists have higher chance of passing on genes than a father of two.

Quote:This literally means nothing.
That means that if you cant support a family for cultural/economic reasons(e.g. Japan) then rape is your only option.

It is not just desirable, it is the meaning of life.

None of this gets you to moral justification.

Fail.
