I don't care what other atheists think about rape, except to the extent that I would prefer that no one be in favor of rape. Harris is not my ideal, nor my spokesman. The fact that the religious regularly appeal to authority doesn't mean the rest of us do.
Beyond that, Harris didn't condone rape, and if you think he did, you aren't really thinking. If you prefer to have your shin broken to having your kneecap broken are you expressing a fondness for broken knees?
I understand, Jenny. I read how Dawkins got into hot water over tweets to this effect.
My point was simply to illustrate that just as "Atheists Condone Rape" is a silly accusation, the idea that God condones rape is even more stupid.
Except that your gawd not only condones it, the bitch codified it.
