There is a perspective that I've adopted that allows me to put things in focus. Look at it this way; negativity exists to define the good and vice versa.
That reminds me of a "Six Feet Under" preview. In it, one of the characters asks, "Why do people have to die"? The other character responds, "To make life have worth".
To say that God allows some thing like rape, suggests that you have insight into how God works. Many people may feel, "as you believe, so it shall be". However, not one person on the planet could give you a confirmation on God and God's intentions. It's left to each individual's interpretation and belief.
I understand where you are coming from, though. You're thinking, 'If God is so powerful, why doesn't God intervene'? I don't have a difinitve answer for that. But think of it this way; if God intervened all the time, how would any one learn any thing?
Of course, it's not as if we're learning much as it is. However, most of us know better. We make our own decisions and whether we know it or not, our decisions affect every one around us.
People get raped but also, some thing good happens. Not necessarily some thing equally and oppisite, though. However, down the line things will balance out.
Life is full of in justices. You must know that, every thing moves in cycles and as the old saying goes, "what goes around, comes around". A rapist may not be punished today but one day his sins will be punished.

I feel that the battle that you may be facing is not yours, it the Lord's. God is always watching you and many others, therefore it not God thats doing wrong its those who choose to pleasure theirselves inside of others without their consent. For every rapist there is a punishment is being served whether its with theirselves, God, or the law. Remeber these punishments are within the self and God has no part in what rapist do.

Although I am not religious, I would like to share my opinion on the subject.
You are correct... children and adults go through emotional, sexual, physical abuse every day.. and it seems as though most abusers are able to get away.
Sometimes, the abused person does not take steps to prosecute due to shame, embarrassment, or fear.. which I personally understand quite well.
Other times, there isn't enough evidence to prosecute or punish the abuser..
It seems as though so many people, good people, are punished for no reason.. and it is something they will live with for the rest of their lives, and it also impacts their friends and family. It seems that abusers are more frequently able to get away.. and do it again.
I just hope that those who have gone through these horrible situations are able to muster the strength to prosecute these scum. If more of us would ensure these people are off the streets, (even if for a short amount of time), fewer people would be impacted by these events..
Hopefully the abusers will be judged eventually.. somehow.. and will get what is coming to them. We can hope.

God has a plan that is greater than our minds can concieve. And rapists don't really go unpunished. They'll get their just dues when God come to judge the quick and the dead.

because that is not the end of the story, we only see the beginning right now. would the rapist have a golden road ahead of him/her? i think not.
without suffering there'd be no mercy. evil things like innocent children getting murdered and raped have seeped into our world. i think earth is a battleground; only a small part of the bigger picture.

I dont go to church or nuttin but i do beleive in GOD!! I have faith in god .. I think what alotta of ppl are not seeing is god gives us a choice its up to us to make it .. you can live the right way or the wrong way .. of course no one is perfect and alot of ppl give in to the temptations of the world .. they lie cheat kill steal ect.. and wer all gonna be punished buy god when that time comes to pass .. I beleive god will judge each and every one of us according to r sins!! NO doubt!!! There are some sick ppl in this world but we cant blame god for our sins! he gave his own son to die for everyones sins ..maybe more of us should try picking up the bible and reading it b4 wer quick to judge or not beleive in him ? have faith ppl ..In god all things are possible . I believe that

There is no god. If there is, he or she is a sick, sadistic SOB.
