WHY IS FORNICATION WRONG BUT RAPE ISN'T?
The bible God sanctioned rape and incest in the Old Testament but disapproves of CONSENSUAL sex between same-sex and unmarried couples (the bible calls it fornication). Also, it says nothing about paedophilia.
But why is fornication wrong and rape isn't? What does this say about the morality of the bible?
According to religion, morality is decided by God and his judgement cannot be questioned. In other words, if God says rape is permissible then it is. The humanist worldview holds that morality should be decided on the basis of reason, empathy and non-maleficence. This is how humanity decided that slavery, misogyny, homophobia and paedophilia are wrong.
Now, if God sanctions slavery, rape, incest, homophobia, misogyny, genocide and infanticide - then who the hell is Satan?
