1 Corinthians 6:9-11 "Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God."
Galatians 5:19-21 "Now the works of the flesh are evident: sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality, idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, rivalries, dissensions, divisions, envy, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these. I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God."
~hangs head laughing~ I never said God didn't think it was evil, that's very evident....Yet, according to biblical beliefs that god never changes, he therefore would still think rape victims should marry their attackers, God never shows compassion by saying something like let the community ban together to support her living with her family in a single life, not throw the attacker in jail, not it wasn't her fault so you should still see her as pure, etc.. Instead he sees the VICTIM as damaged goods and only worthy of her attacker since he knew her carnally, showing complete disregard for her emotional trauma whatsoever.

If there are Gods, but unjust, then you should not want to worship them.
