My argument is that some individuals for whatever reasons may have the propensity to develop a desire to rape and murder. If said individuals also happen to be fundamentalist Christians, they may be more inclined to develop and act upon that desire than they would if they were more liberal because fundamentalist Christians lack an outside-of-marriage sexual ethics system.
Okay, if that's your argument then it's total bullshit.

"some individuals for whatever reasons may have the propensity to develop a desire to rape and murder"

Every person on earth has the potential to become a violent person, every person. Propensity, to use your own word, is based on environmental factors that would facilitate the potential to be developed or perceived favourably by the person. If said persons happen to be fundamentalist Christians, it doesn't mean squat. All it means is that fundamentalists are also capable of becoming violent human beings, just like everybody else is capable of it - it doesn't mean their faith made them more likely to entertain violent fantasies as per your assumption.

So you're just going to ignore my point that fundamentalists lack an outside-of-marriage sexual ethics and how that could allow unrestrained feeding into evil desires?

Quote:Sexual ethics has absolutely nothing to do with violence. Rape is not even a sexual trait, it's a manifestation of violent behaviour. Your association of sex and violence makes me think you have the problem that you are trying to insist Christians have.

Rape involves sex obviously and there's a whole genre of rape porn. And rape isn't the main focus of my post. I used it as an example. I mean to include all evil sexual desires that involve harm such as child molestation, torture, abduction, death, etc.

And please stop with the ad hominem. I could be pedobear incarnate but accusing me of that wouldn't defeat my argument.
My ignore list
