“It never says it’s morally wrong to rape a woman” yet it clearly proscribes the death penalty for rapists. Remarkable POV, never mind the conscious conflation of adulterers/fornicators and rapists.

No rape is indicated in Deuteronomy 22:28; the same word is not used as in verse 25 (”taphaz” in verse 28, meaning to manipulate and therefore seduce, versus “khazaq” in verse 25, meaning to seize by force). Being mendacious is very unhelpful.

So what happens if you khazaq a virgin?

Can you describe why rape is wrong? I know you believe that it is prohibited by supernatural fiat, but why? What is the reason it is wrong?

By the way, I'm running Google searches for these words you're throwing out, and from what I'm finding, Taphaz means to capture, take hold, seize, or arrest.

Not "seduce." Capture. Seize.
