If God is just, getting raped means you deserve it? So bundled in there, God uses rapists to administer his justice? Kinda like those honor killings/acid attacks/rapes in Pakistan or India?
Off to the Hall of Shame with ye! JesusHChrist, just when you think you've heard it all, turns out, you haven't.
You could say that, but it is actually human beings who rape and murder. What God does is use that evil to administer justice. As our Creator, it is His right to do so.

One would think a loving, rational god would make attempts to stop evil from taking place in this world. I suppose, that not being the case, god is morally bankrupt.

Then on what basis do you "detest" such acts?

Cognitive dissonance anyone?
What is it you are failing to understand here? God repays evil with evil, and the severity of the punishment is in direct proportion to the crime. How is that not justice?
God is not a masochist - He detests these things as well. Why do you think they are forbidden by His commandments? But if they happen, he uses them to administer punishment/justice. That is just how it works.

And I suppose you detesting it so much is the reason for justifying it, correct?
If god uses rapists to punish for sins, how can he punish them for it?
Not only are you disgustingly immoral, your lack of integrity is breath taking.

Oh my.

Does the cognitive dissonance hurt when you think? Do you think at all?

Oh yes. Truly, he suffered so much sacrificing himself to himself and then raising himself from the dead like nothing happened despite having the power to prevent it all.
Fuck you.

I volunteer on a sexual assault response team. One of my colleagues was called to the forensic hospital one night to advocate for a thirteen-year-old rape victim. When my colleague got there, she noticed the front of her blouse was bleeding. The little girl told her the rapist (a family friend) bit her nipple off.
I wonder what a thirteen-year-old did to deserve that.

Uh, what? Because they are disgusting, repulsive, and thoroughly evil, of course.

Just spitballing here Miles, but maybe the reason you encounter a lot of frothing at the mouth atheists is because of your beliefs.

Reading posts displaying the horrific mindset of some theists is good reminder for us just how perverted and sick religious thinking can become.
Is it due to the mental gymnastics that must constantly be performed? I don't know, but religion really messes up some people's minds, including their moral compass.
And we see it all the time.
