Quote:It is morally wrong to rape somebody, even if they raped you first and you are reciprocating."
That kind of reciprocity/payback is a common part of Judeo-Christian morality ;'"an eye for an eye,"taken from Hammurabi. The reciprocity of violent ,even fatal reciprocity of revenge is still common in many 'developed' societies.
Quote:It's not appealing, but it's true and we as atheists need to find a solution to this problem
No,'we' do not need to find a solution to anything. 'As an atheist" I have no position on an any issue whatsoever apart from the existence of god(s).
