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

[Tsun Tsu]

You know, it is really shitty to lie about why you are here. Why do it? It would be perfectly natural do just introduce yourself and say "I'd like to get you guys' take on moral absolutes." Why make up the bullshit about compiling statistics?

Why are you calling me a liar?? I AM compiling information and stats. You call me a liar why then when you don't know anything about me? You don't know I research and write, you don't know about the fact I do radio internet talk shows, and you don't know I instruct. I suggest asking one about one's self before accusing them out of some paranoia.... but I'm happy to forgive it this time... if you have anything to ask me, ask me or go to admin and ask THEM to check me out ...no more accusation though, not only is it unethical, I would assume its against the rules here eh?

As civilization marches on, we seem to come by rules that become etched into our collective ethos. By this I mean that at one time, rape was seen as the spoils of war, a man's right over a woman. No one would have thrown a second glance at it by most accounts. Certain castes were excluded even from the right to claim rape. That was then, this is now. We have a more evolved sense of morality. I would say that in all but some ridiculous hypothetical existential situation (the end of the human race is imminent and it's just me and an unwilling woman left to continue the species), there is no situation where rape is moral.

We still look back and say they were wrong... 90 percent of us do that is. Would you agree with the 90? And IF you were the last man on earth, would it be good then for you to rape the last woman who was unwilling?
Also... how is it an atheist can assume that one can violate matter and electrical impulses? In the end wouldn't an atheist be forced to admit that there is no real violation?

I would also say that the ritual mutilation of children's genitals is morally unacceptable. But clearly I am in some sort of minority or other there, and that continues to be (less and less, thank Jaysus) an acceptable thing to do. Would you say that this is morally acceptable?

I wasn't aware there was a ritual involved with circumcision. Have you observed these rituals?
