Atheists only vote please: Do absolute MORAL truths exist? Is Rape ALWAYS "wrong"?

[Aoi Magi]

Rape is indeed always wrong. However it is NOT an universal truth.

And the rules for circles don't apply to triangles. So what? Just because something only applies universally to all human moral agents has no bearing on whether it is objectively right or wrong. My but you do like to dance.

Don't make random analogies please. Physical properties and mental constructs are not the same thing.

Rape is wrong, because the term "rape" is used to represent a scenario with a victim and perpetrator/s, which is bad.

Rape IS NOT a universal truth, because the concept of rape doesn't exist in nature, nor is it applicable to all things.

Religion suggests we humans are higher than everything else in nature, and thus whatever moral laws apply to us universally must be the universal truth. But the truth is, we are animals too and since morality doesn't exist in all animals, it isn't a universal thing. Morality IS a subjective concept we humans created to better sustain our societal structure.

If you look at our laws you'll see that there has been many revisions to determine what exactly constitutes "rape", this had to be done, because the concept of "rape" is born from our society and is determined by it.

On child abuse, unless you specifically mean pedophilia, it does exist in nature among other species and isn't always immoral in the sense we see it in our society. Several animals, for example bears and snakes, might kill off weaker children so that the mother can survive and the species can progress with the strongest individuals. However in a human society, killing off a slightly deformed child will be treated as murder and highly immoral.
