So what prevents one from seeking revenge against said rapist?
I find it interesting that you side step any questions I direct back at you by giving personal details that your hypotheticals are true, and have already been considered, by someone you claim to believe does not have a moral framework, and yet you're unable to answer such simple questions yourself.

Ethical considerations come to mind. Well, they come to my mind, but they seem to consistently fail to come to yours.
Indeed. Say for instance, this amoral outsider lacking belief in divine justice were able to trick the believer in divine justice and forgiveness by confession, say, recording a statement of guilt.
Would it then be more objectively moral to use the record of said statement as a place marker for the conscience the good Christian rapist admittedly lacks? Or would it be more moral for a hypothetical lawgiver to sacrifice their own life to atone for the actions of an amoral rapist?
You're proposing alternatives that just don't make rational sense.
What possible murder scenario can you devise, as a hypothetical, that would atone for years of rape by an authority figure?
What quick and easy death could compare to being sexually abused, over and over, for several years? Why would such an alternative even be on the table?
