Church demands the victim apologize to pastor's wife since the pastor did the rape.

If she did something like send naked pics to the guy, the proper response is not go have sex with her. Two wrongs don't make a right, assuming she even did anything wrong in the first place. What we've been presented with is a guy doing something illegal, and being absolved of it by the church because he's supposedly a holy man.

If she did anything illegal, he should have gone to her parents, or the police. If what she did was legal, like wearing revealing clothing, or doing something that could be interpreted as flirting, then it's still the man's fault for giving in and breaking the law.

If that's all she did, then that just means she's a teenager. That her body is functioning in the way it should. We should not get angry when babies cry, and we should not get angry when teenagers explore their sexuality. These are normal behaviors. Not immoral.

I agree with everything you said except the last line.

I don't want to live in a world where it is normal for a 16 year old to try to seduce a married man by sending naked pictures (if again this is what happened) to Him and only holding the man accountable.

Again read the article they were texting for some time and it stopped for a while when the wife found out but picked back up after sometime...

The article does not mention pictures, but I can't imagine texting that leads to sex that does not include some 'previews.'

"Leads to sex"?? You have to be kidding. The pastor was tried, convicted, and sentenced to ten years for RAPE.

I just... talk about not wanting to live in a world with something. I don't want to live in a world with you in it, Drich. You are disgusting.
