Allow me to speak for the other side. We do not deny that foolish or willfully dangerous behavior may cause us to suffer harm. I have stated that each person is responsible for his/her own behavior.'I take issue with the idea that putting oneself in an unsafe place will automatically result in rape because men cannot be expected to control themselves. Most rapes occur because a rapist decided to rape someone, a baby, a girl, a woman and old woman even a corpse! also a boy, a young lad another man. Rape is far more pervasive than the action of a female placing herself in a dangerous situation. The tone of dozer's threads and comments is to persuade us that the rapist is not totally responsible for his behavior. Let us blame a stupid, drunken slut for enticing him. Let us blame society for the lowering of morals. This tends to dilute the focus from a heinous crime has been committed to Yes a crime has been committed but the victim brought it on herself. Yes punish the rapist but let all of us good Christians rub the victims nose in her own dirty linen.
It makes me sick and consider no longer calling myself a christian.
I am a follower of my Lord Jesus Christ and seek to emulate his loving, forgiving, healing behavior.
