I don't think so. In the case of a rape allowed by God, it must by definition of God be serving a greater good. It is therefore an act which is allowed with both the intent and the effect of doing good. It is a good act.
For something to be called objectively evil, it would have to be evil regardless of context. And I don't think there's any evil, no matter how much we despise it, that cannot be thought of as good given the right (albeit highly unlikely) context.
I'm not familiar with the definition of 'objective' in which context is irrelevant.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
