...and this is post #3 where I call you out for ignoring all my points and hitting the reset button in our exchange. Are you actually interested in a rational and honest discussion at all?
If you fail to respond to this post I'm going to assume you are tacitly admitting you can't answer my points and I will declare victory.
As for your non-sequitur about rape, I'm not sure how it helps your case that religious based morality is superior to secular based morality. Even if rape offers an evolutionary advantage, and I'm not so sure it does since rapists may caught, killed or punished before they might be able to reproduce, I have to ask how you get from that to "...and therefore religious morals are superior to secular morals" (especially when your own Bible hardly condemns the practice of rape). My only point on evolution is to discuss how we developed our sense of compassion and community.
BTW, this is the post I'm demanding that you answer.
Stop evading please.
