This is what I mean when I say it's absolutely absurd to say that God must have good reasons for not intervening. Because it's actually an admission that God is morally inferior to us as he doesn't even get the basics right.
Why doesn't God intervene to stop awful things? "Because reasons". Why can't he give us freedom to do what we wish with a few exceptions where he invervenes in cases to prevent such horrible things? "Because reasons". Why can't God allow us to do whatever we want but imbue us with a nature that never wants to rape and kill? "Because reasons." Why must God allow innocent animals and small children to suffer when they aren't even capable of responsibility or guilt, they're nothing but victims in all these cases? "Because reasons.". Why did God do such a poor job of creating moral beings in his supposedly moral image? "Because reasons."
There's no excuse at all. This God is supposedly able to do anything that is logically possible. God could intervene in less than a split second to prevent these things without causing any harm and destruction. God could have created us so we were better beings that never wished to do such things. If God is real he chooses to allow these things. The very second anyone thinks there's any possible justification that God can have for allowing these things to happen when he has the ability to stop them immediately with ease... is either just an admission that the theist in question has incredibly immoral beliefs or that they are egocentrically giving themselves to an immoral God out of fear of hell and hope for heaven.
Checkmate, theists.
God is a victim blamer and rape apologist. Not to mention a sadist.
Same.
If I was God I'd have made everyone born with constant happiness and ecstasy and pleasure, it would be eternal, it would go on forever, harm would be impossible, pain would be impossible—there would be no need for pain as there would be no need for a warning system of any kind as there would be nothing to be warned of as everything would be blissful—aging would be impossible and everyone would be completely invincible. And as for those who say "Wouldn't that get boring eventually?" I'd make boredom impossible.
And to those who wouldn't want to plug into an experience machine I'd try to explain to them that they think they wouldn't want to but they actually would—it is, after all, by definition, everything that they would want—and they are simply confused about what sort of experience it would actually entail.

She just shouldn't wear revealing clothing. We all know the beach is crazy with people having sex all the time because of the vacationers not covering their entire bodies. That's why those places are the worst in the world, right?

Not only would I prevent rape, but if I was God, I wouldn't need to. I wouldn't have made rape possible in the first place.
