it is because you assume all forced sex is without consent, and you are not willing to examine sexual encounters outside of your societal norms. By doing so you condemned 60% of the world's population for not having what you would personally consider to be "normal sex". This is a biggoted way of thinking. to assume all sex must stringently conform to your norms.
This isn't OUR norms though. If you believe in God as I do, you believe in natural law. And forcing sex on someone is against natural law and against the person's God given human rights. Natural Law is the reason we as Christians believe that certain acts are immoral regardless of whether or not they are socially accepted. "Forced sex" being one of them. It doesn't matter if there is some village somewhere in the world where it's ok to force someone to have sex with you. It is still an intrinsically immoral act. What you're explaining above sounds like moral relativism which is why I'm so surprised it's coming from you, a Christian.
"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."
