The man's will to rape isn't affected anymore than his will to rape is affected by the cops showing up and stopping him. The only difference is that an eleven year old wouldn't get syphilis. I value the rapists bodily autonomy -far- less than the little girl. Apparently you and god disagree. You can both go fuck yourselves on that count, freely.
Well, we believe God allows nature to take its course, again, knowing in the end that everything will be made right. If someone calls the cops, they will most likely show up. If no one sees what's going on and no one calls them, they won't be there unless by some sort of divine intervention. I believe divine intervention and miracles do happen, but it's a rare thing. Mostly, God just allows us to make decisions and allows for whatever consequence may come from those decisions.
"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."
