You can't have both false and true at the same time.
The traffic signal is either green, caution or red.
Some people have believed rape to be acceptable at least to them. Some communities have thought so. To them it is a truth that its "ok" or even "good". You also have a HIGHER truth that says it is wrong regardless of opinion, making THIS group finding it "ok", wrong.
So do you agree that for the group that rapes, rape is good, or do you find a higher truth that simply says they are wrong, and your social standard AGAINST rape is RIGHT?

Speaking of absolutes then... do you believe rape to be absolutely wrong universally?
