Considering the statistics of sexual assault against women (is it one in three these days?) it's likely that -many- of our female atheist members have been victims of some form of sexual violence in their lives, so I'm not sure why scooby thought this anecdotal story would carry any weight at all. Good for your aunt. What about the rest of us? Oh, wait. God has a PLAN! A rape-y plan! I forgot. [emoji848]
It's one out of every 4 women. The RAINN website stats for 2015 said that an American was sexually assaulted every 107 seconds. 44% of the victims are under age 18. This being America, at least half are also Christian. But god never helps them. Just Scooby's family, and whoever made up the original lie in the first place. https://rainn.org/statistics
Thanks for the stats. I knew it was in that ball park. Yeah, I guess all the Christian victims just didn't pray as hard as scooby's family, so really it's their own fault they were assaulted; can't hold the all- powerful God responsible.
The egocentricity in these types of stories utterly is mind-bending. [emoji848]
