Why is rape wrong?

God decided them, and, no, He should not change them.

Presumably if He did, the new ones would then be correct?

would they be incorrect ?

I think that's what he was asking...if God changed them, would they then remain correct?

This doesn't really apply to agnostics or atheists but I'm curious as to this also.

But why do we feel remorse ? Even if we commit, and dont get caught by society, we feel bad about what happened.

Is it cause it was instilled within us by our parents ?

Not all people do....

It is normal to have a part of our psyche which decides on the "rightness" or wrongness" of an act. This is so we can live in groups and prosper.

Whether or not one feels "society," as an entity, is right or wrong, the fact is, for humans to have clustered into societies proved to be an evolutionary advantage. Thus, to be able to all get along with one another, promotes this evolutionary advantage.

"If God changed morals, would they still be correct" is very abstract. It would be easier to discuss this, I feel, if we narrowed it down to specifics.

no offense, but what kind of question is that? "Is rape wrong?" it's like saying is it wrong to kill someone?

I think this kind of exploration is definitely the right way towards finding an arguable basis for the assignment of agreeable or abhorrent actions or beliefs.

This argument explores the concept of God as arbiter of morality. It delves a little too far into the theological though, so perhaps it's best left as a fringe concern.

It is, isn't it?

well rape is against someone else's will, so duh of course it is wrong.

First of all, you didn't really read through this thread, did you?

Second of all, if you are comparing rape to killing someone I have a question for you. I can think that of various situations where I believe that it would be acceptable to kill someone (i.e. self defence, the defense of others, etc.) but can you give me a single example where it would be acceptable to rape someone?

So, in a sense, it's nothing like saying, "is it wrong to kill someone?"

That being said, back on topic please.

their is never a time rape is acceptable. it is against someone's will. and i don't need to read the whole thread to get the general idea. question was is rape wrong? well again, duh. rape is against someone's will, so how the hell will that be acceptable?

Nope, you have completely and totally missed the point of the thread.

Didn't say that though 😛 not everyone feels remorse when they do something that is thought to be wrong.

a.) then what the hell is the point of this thread. it can be interpeted from many angles. never specific now was it?
b.) the question he/she asked was when is rape acceptable? and i had answered.

You're not following this thread are you? 😑

Read the thread and you'll see what it's really about. No one should have to explain it.

well, i'm going by what the question was asked in the title. the question that was just recently asked, i had answered. if you don't like it...tough.

Well, the question in the title is not really what the thread is about, it's just representative of what the thread is about.

Read the damn thread or look like a fool, the choice is yours.

ok ; HAVE A NICE DAY !
