Are you saying that what this man did, kidnapping, raping, etc. of a little girl is not absolutely wrong?
Are you making the case that what this man did, kidnap, rape, torture, drug or whatever else he did may acutally be okay if enough perverts are in charge?
I’m unclear how you can draw such a conclusion from my post.
I was merely making two accurate comments.
1. If you reject the idea of a God who stands above all human opinion and decides right and wrong, there is no logical basis for claiming that any action is always right or wrong. In such a case society might indeed decide rape of children is”okay if enough perverts are in charge.”
If morality is decided by voting, what other conclusion could one come to?
In case I’m not being clear enough, I believe in such a God and the morality he pronounces on.
2. Historically, captive women have always been legally subject to rape and slavery. AFAIK, the only exception is Western Civilization in the last few hundred years. In most of the world today, especially those areas least influenced by evil western civ, it continues today. The pantywaists obsessing over the “rape crisis” in Darfur are apparently unaware this is standard practice for the area. Nothing new at all. Apparently the pantywaists are unaware they’re trying to impose their own cultural values on the indigenous peoples.
I did not say that I approve of such activity. In fact, if they need a volunteer to push the button on this guy, I’ll gladly fly to SLC on my own nickel. My younger daughter is almost exactly Elizabeth’s age. I remember being so angry when she was taken that I couldn’t see straight.
I think it is instructive and relevant to point out that the morality we too often take for granted is by no means something that is inherent in human nature. It’s something that has to be fought for and once won defended.
