What would you have to have in order to "KNOW" that regardless of time space or opinion, rape was "always wrong"??

I agree with you that raping children is repulsive. I do not follow you in attaching 'universal status' to the repulsion I feel .. whatever that exactly means. I don't find I require absolute agreement or approval to stand with those who would use the power of the state to punish offenders. Internal/subjective moral reasons will suffice.
The point being that if rape is ALWAYS wrong, it becomes an absolute truth, an absolute moral standard, and universally so. This is strong evidence of a higher morality that the Atheist isn't accounting for.
Do you recall what was revealed the day the music died?
