I'm going to abandon this thread now.
I don't condone rape. I could argue that I'm against rape more than anyone here, since I'm the only person who thinks rape is objectively immoral, verses just a matter of opinion. But I won't do that because I know that everyone here is just as appalled by rape as I am, and in the grand scheme of things, that's what matters most. Even if you don't consider it objectively immoral.
I believe God gave us free will, which is the freedom to choose to do good things, or evil things. Rape is an evil thing. But we have the physical ability to rape because we have free will. Nonetheless, I believe no one should do it under any circumstance, no matter who they are or what their culture says.
^I don't see how that makes me "terrifying", but that that is what I believe and if you can't accept that then there's nothing else I can do. Ive always considered you a friend here, Rob. I hope you will still consider me a friend, and I hope you can stop saying I'm into doing "apologetics for rape," because that is a very incriminating accusation to make at someone and it really bothers me coming from someone who I consider a forum buddy.
"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."
