i was referring to rape, not promiscuity.

and didnt you say you read "Brave New World"? I could've sworn you said something along the lines of liking it more than 1984... most of the morals expressed in that book discourage looking at it like that, unless you're on Mustapha Mond's side :/

My point is that while you can try and make some claims and try to support the existence of a deity, you cannot prove that he loves us cares about us and is aware of our existence.




Being omnipotent, he can do anything, in any way he sees fit.



No, it isn't. You have to prove that it is.




Yes, the morality was ingrained into us by our parents. I sincerely have doubts as to whether the early humans had qualms as to who they raped, and who they pillaged. Morality is a convenience. Without morality, the human population would be very small today, because of the mindless, incessant killings, pillagings or whatever. So you can say that in the long term, morality has worked towards the success of the species as a whole.
You missed the whole point of my post. i was saying you wouldnt CARE if you were raped, as animals most certainly dont and see it only as reproductive or recreational activity. That's where it doesnt fit with darwinism.

And being benevolent, he follows the rules of the universe.

And you're asking me to prove the unprovable; i have neither the tools nor the knowlege to answer that. it's like giving someone a glass of water and asking them to use it to show what it's made of.
