Re: True Christian Guide to Avoiding Legitimate Rape

You seem to think that the biggest issue of rape is conception of the rapist's child and urge women not to "worry about it". Why do you neglect the fact that by being raped, a woman has been violated, regardless of whether she gets pregnant or not as a result of that violation ?

Have you ever considered that rape "victims" wouldn't be so traumatized by the experience if you people weren't so melodramatic about it?

Instead of, "a woman has been violated", why not say the truth, "a woman has been subjected to some minor bruising and abrasions which typically heal within a few days"?

I've been in schoolyard brawls that resulted in more significant injuries than the typical "legitimate rape"; you don't see me going to a support group for it, do you?

Doesn't the Bible teach one of the concept of PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY ?

Yes. Why do you deny it?

Nice video...lots of lovely images of Kali ..my personal favorite of all the 30 million Gods and Goddesses.

BTW, are you a closet Dharmavadin, Ezekiel ? You seem to spend an AWFUL lot of time looking for and posting videos on Sanatana Dharma and India...

'Fess up and we'll see what we can do for you, kid. Our samajas welcome any convert with open arms ... And the process is fairly simple and straight forward, too. All you need to do is to shave your head save for a tuft of hair at the back, put on a dhoti, slam on Krishna's sandalwood paste on your forehead and you are good to go... !

Oh, and we'll rename you Eshwar.... Ezekiel aient no Dharmavadin name.

Re: True Christian Guide to Avoiding Legitimate Rape

If so, then the man should ignore what he sees and operate solely from faith. That means that he only has sex with his own wife (with her consent, of course), and not with every female primate that he spots who is dressed "inappropriately". Good Christian men do not walk purely by sight, after all !

Re: True Christian Guide to Avoiding Legitimate Rape

Friend, if I eat a half gallon of rocky road ice cream, have I been "violated" because my skirts are a little too snug?

This is the most PROFOUND piece of nonsense that I've read on this site.

ou seem to forget that to live in a civilized society, we must expect everyone to do their part. Women must not dangle the otherwise "forbidden fruit" of her most prized possession in front of those who fight the battle of lust, which is a part of a man's nature. It's like saying the lion should be punished for biting the hand of the zoo-keeper for holding a steak in reach. The lion can't help but attack meat. It is his nature to do such a thing.

So, men are a barbarous lot with no more self control or sense of personal accountability than a wild animal ? Very good, Mary. This is a start.

tThat's a naive way to look at it. In reality, the man is created to be visually stimulated. The man has no choice. The woman has the choice to either draw attention to herself or not. In nearly every case, with the possible exception of a homeless, negro, crack-addict, the woman could have prevented the sexual act. Because of that very fact, it cannot be considered rape even if she feels it was. Emotions can be misleading you know. That's why True Christians™ walk by faith, not by sight (2 Corinthians 5:7).

If a man feels the need to attack a woman simply because he does not like the way that she is dressed, then he should not live in civilized society. AND, he not have a problem with being castrated by any woman that he attacks just because he does not like the way that she is clothed.

What's sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander, too. It is HIS fault that he got castrated for touching a woman against her will just like it is supposedly HER fault that she got raped for dressing immodestly.

Re: True Christian Guide to Avoiding Legitimate Rape

Actually, it's not. Sex is a choice. Women make this choice and later regret it (personally, I think it's because their soul is in pain for having defied the woman's natural instinct to wait until marriage to give her virginity to her husband as his rightful gift). When they regret it enough, they cry "rape" so as to deflect the blame from them and onto the men. It's the kind of thing feminizies like Gloria Steinem and Helen Gurley Brown have promoted for years. It just so happens that we've become so used to these cries of wolf that we assume they are legitimate. Only when rape is actually forced upon a woman (not because she's alluring the man or men, which is by far the most common situation), is it actually legitimate, thus the specification, "legitimate rape."

I hope that helps.

I am sure that there may be some cases of alleged rape that were actually consensual sex, to begin with. However, I have a problem with this claim of yours :

"IF you happen to be legitimately raped, that is, forced against your will, then you need not worry about getting pregnant. You see, our bodies were fearfully and wonderfully made! (Psalm 139:14) The LORD has provided within our bodies, the miraculous mechanics of thwarting unwanted seed!"

Re: True Christian Guide to Avoiding Legitimate Rape

Sometimes you frighten me Reverend.

I hope you will be reminded of just how fragile life is; God could snatch it away from you at any moment, leaving you buried in a vegetable garden!

Oh, please thank Aaron for the three jars of spaghetti sauce. He said you made it yourself with homegrown tomatoes, and that you really put a lot of yourself into it.

How did you know I love meat sauce best of all? Widow Helen and I had some of it over tortellini earlier tonight.

Re: True Christian Guide to Avoiding Legitimate Rape

Ah, so that explains why you're never to be found when it's Aaron's turn to host the Men's Tuesday Night Prayer Circle!

I admit to having had some disturbing thoughts in wondering about your absence. "Perhaps," I said to myself, "the dear child fell down the stairs in the night, on her way to get a drink of water. Aaron, being a quiet and shy fellow, might have refrained from calling the coroner. Instead, it could be he carried her to the back yard tenderly, digging out a new garden bed as she lay beside him, bathed in the gentle moonlight, atop the steaming compost heap, surrounded by a softly shifting, shimmering cloud of flies buzzing a paean to her all-too-frail beauty. With each swing of his pickaxe, Aaron would curse himself for waiting three days to clean her off the stairs; he just had to be sure she was really dead!

"In this luxurious, rich garden bed his little Naomi would rest, eternally at peace, her shallow grave planted over with those two strange rows of tomatoes, swollen abnormally large and red, the only marker a wooden Popsicle stick cross upon which he'd carefully misspelled, "Beefstake". He'd have to disguise her absence through a clever ruse."

See, that's where I stopped. We all know Aaron isn't much good at clever ruses. So now we know you are alive and well!

This would make a great story for the Pediabear Mystery Series, don't you think?
