And no, rape is not sacred. Rape defiles a sacred act. On top of being a horrible thing to do to another person (which alone would be enough to make it immoral), we believe rape is immoral also because it takes something so sacred and defiles it.
Why isn't an instance of creating life without harming anyone not sacred if life is sacred?
And why is heterosexual married sex sacred, and all the rest immoral?
Because we believe the means of doing it was not.
Because we believe sex is sacred, period. And it is sacred because it is the means by which new human life is created, and also by which a union is consummated. It is because it is sacred that it should remain in the context of a husband and wife who love each other and are committed to each other for life.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
