In the Old Testament, there are many laws relating to various sexual sins (now prevalent in our society). I believe, out of any sin a person could commit, sexual sin is by far the worst. It is impossible to explain or justify a rape. While all sin is abhorable in God's eyes, nearly all sexual sin resulted in stonings (OT)- and in myself, I see why. Along the lines of punishment for murder, no human should live after stealing innocence. I am not in the mood for reason, I am in the mood for just desserts, and if I had my way, every rapist and molester in the world ought to be slowly skinned alive, then placed in a solution of salt, lemon juice, and shattered glass, left to writhe in agony until eventual death- and even that isn't enough. It's hard for me to think, right now, to let God take care of this . . . I just want to find and punish. Love your enemies? How can I do that? There are people who destroy lives out there, and all we're worried about is classes and media- we allow our lives to go on. Meanwhile, there are those whose lives are forever changed, even destroyed, and there is no way we can change that. Damn it! Why are humans so horrible?! Let every boyfriend think twice before touching his girlfriend. Let every single man control his lustful thoughts, and never, ever act on carnal atrocities that may enter his head. If rape were not a possibility, if there weren't the option to molest . . . *sigh* I feel so damned helpless.
