CL is a good, decent, kind and empathetic person who happens to believe in god, but her belief, in no way makes her responsible or accountable for god or what he does. Period. She is entitled to have her faith. She's entitled to have her beliefs. It is painfully obvious to anyone reading this thread, who possesses so much of an ounce of common sense, that she does not and has never condoned rape, murder or any other horrible act. And just because CL chooses, as is her right, to have a belief in a god, does not in any way imply that she accepts the evil acts that people do. Does god stop those things? Nope. He sure doesn't. But to repeatedly accuse her of condoning rape, after she's stated her stance on it several times, makes some of you no better than some of our worst theists on these forums.
No one knows what god would actually do, if he were to appear in human form and encountered a rape in progress. CL doesn't know, has stated such and it is not fair to continue this browbeating of her character. It is fine to debate and disagree, however, no matter how strongly atheists feel about the fact that god chooses to ignore bad things and how much CL believes in her god, it doesn't give anyone the right to go on a full-on attack of CL's character in the way that has been done on this thread.
One thing I can say for CL is that she has NEVER forced her beliefs on anyone here. CL has had to work twice has hard to earn respect here because she is a theist on an atheist forum. She's never preached to anyone here. She's never tried to force her beliefs on anyone here. She's never done anything that amounts to one tenth of the bullshit that we have encountered from other theists who have been straight up pushy, aggravating assholes where their beliefs are concerned. Some of the people here have sunk to a new level of low and it is sad that you would treat a respectable member of these forums in this manner. Knock it off already.
