The bible says NOTHING about prison time for rapists. Do you want a real reason as to why rape is seen as bad?
Now, do you want a real explanation as to why rapists do what they do, or do you stupidly believe that a guy with a pitchfork screws with the neurons in the perp's brain?
Yea evil people smile so what. No Lex Luther or Darth Vader making people do horrible things, and no Satan doing it either. Why does it bother you so much that I can reject evil without chalking it up to comic book villains?
1) I do not follow the Bible Brian.
I do not follow religions so please leave the Bible alone or argue about the Bible with Christians not with me.
This doesn't mean that the Bible is wrong.
It may even be good and it may be that those who interpret it may interpret wrong.
I don't know.
I rather follow something else a lot more practical than theoretical as the so called Holy books.
2) Sure, even evil people smile but their smiles are not true, natural and genuine.
Unless you are a total idiot you can easily find out whether their smiles are coming from their heart or their backside.
A smile is a smile, fake or genuine, a evil person still does not need a guy with a pitchfork to explain why they smile.
The smile can be about greed, or lust for power, but it is still a smile.
This is why you cant understand why rape happens and some victims can be drawn into their trap.
It is a bullshit stereotype to think evil is magical. Rape is not about a ground troll causing a rapist to do it. Rape is a result of prior abuse of the rapist growing up and or personality defect that causes them to lack empathy for others. Rape is about power and control, not the sex itself.
Rapists, like child molesters can look very normal and innocent. They can be your uncle, your baby sitter, your coach your teacher your preacher. The don't always look like street winos or vampires.
The reason the victim feels pain, isn't because of God or Satan either. The reason the victim feels both physical pain and psychological pain, is that the rape takes away the victims control over their own body, it is theft of autonomy. Raping kid or adult is an assault on their sense of security. THAT is what makes rape and child molestation BAD.
Explaining why a criminal does what they do is not an excuse in the same way knowing the conditions that cause a hurricane isn't saying you want one.
I am sorry someone sold you the idea that your religion and God belief explains why good and bad happen. And I am sorry the REAL natural explanation above isn't as satisfying to you as your Super Hero vs Super villain, but it is reality.
And I don't need any lectures from you about rape having had my mom and both my sisters go through that. I am very aware of the real reasons those sickos do what they do.
Satan does not explain shit. Human psychology does.
