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

Yes, but this question is incoherent in an ontologically absolute sense. The very definition of rape describes the sexual acts that a human being forced upon another human being against their explicit consent. An ontological truth or an absolute means that something either is or is not true. And this truth would be true in the absence of a mind to perceive it. Something either exists or it does not. If it does, then nothing else has any bearing on the truth behind its "is-ness"
Rape cannot even be rape in the absence of people alone. Rape requires the existence of conscious being to determine it. There is no absolute rape. It's nonsensical to even propose that.
