Would you pay money to see a Superman movie where Superman walks past an ally and sees a man raping a women, but waits until she gets her throat slit and bleeds out and dies, before Superman decides to step in?
This god as depicted doesn't even do that. Rather it (supposedly) waits for both the rapist and the victim to die and then apportions punishment, based on criteria as arbitrary as whether a person believes or not or if they confessed their 'sins'. Last August I posted a video scanned from popular and hilarious adult comic Viz on precisely this matter. Rather than repost the video and take up server space, I'll simply link back to it here.

I'm going to assume - which one should never do - that you're being satirical here. However, just on the offchance you're not, or for the benefit of some others who might actually share that view, I have to say that you're going to have to speak for yourself on that score. I find depictions of rape in any genre, porn included, really discomfiting to watch. Maybe it's just the way I'm wired, or maybe it's that I've actually had to nurse someone through the trauma of having been raped, I don't know.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
