Let's go back to the original point, shall we?
Sleepy claimed that atheists support rape. Pretty much every single atheist who has posted in this thread has said no, they don't support rape. In fact, Atheism+ may be kinda crazy in other ways, but they're so anti-rape they get kinda frothing-at-the-mouth when they talk about it. And that's kinda been the track record here: I have not seen a single atheist claim to support anything that anyone has been able to call rape.
So, no, atheists do NOT support rape.
Now, do we condemn rape? Again, every atheist I've seen post here has strongly condemned rape. We don't need to get our morals from an invsible friend in the sky to know rape is wrong. In fact, the more intelligent and educated of us can tell you why rape is wrong, from a scientific/evolutionarly perspective.
So, yes, atheists do tend to condemn rape.
Now, let's go a little more in depth, shall we? Because all of us define "rape" as "sex without consent." So, if a couple is married and one of them says "no," I still say it's rape for the other to force themselves. You say that's ok.... you just don't call it rape.
So, yeah, NoraBrimstone called it right: the only one in this thread who has tried to justify anything anyone would call rape is the Muslim, not the atheist.
