If a woman is raped, and she is prevented from having an abortion because it is God's will that she have the child, isn't it also God's will that she is raped and impregnated?
And if the rapist ISN'T doing God's will, won't he go to prison and to Hell? Even though rape in reproduction is prevalent in every scope of life and occurs every day, from humans and animals to microbes and bacteria. So surely rape is a Gift from God and we must thank Him for raping us?

No!
GOD DID NOT FORCE THE MAN TO RAPE THE WOMAN.
THE MAN DID IT BECAUSE HE WANTED TO, HE PLANNED IT AND THEN HE DID IT ON HIS OWN.
And in the case of rape I am for abortion. Why should a woman be subjected to giving birth to the son of a rapist????
And I am very much a Christian, not a mealy mouthed fundy who has no concept of original language, or true Biblical exegesis.

It is not necessarily a gift. Its a part of life's challenge it is a trial you must endure. Life is not meant to be all good. If rape were to be a gift from God then why wouldn't murder, suicide anything else for that matter having to do with tragic events etc..
With in all things come good and bad its not necessarily a gift. Being given "life" is a gift!
So to whom ever had to endure rape and become pregnant No I don't think that it its self is a gift, just a challenge as to how well we face, handle , and overcome.
Look deeper and you will see the gift is a child who only knows of one thing and that would be of its mother and the love she gives.. That's a trial done the best way possible and a gift like no other that could be given..

Rape is nothing to do with god whatsoever
thats like saying a woman was asking for it because of the way she was dressed (short skirt) - wrong
Rape is an abuse of power that a man can have over a women (yes I know that men can be raped too)

Absolutly not thats a disgusting and evil thing to say! my best friend was raped and i find it hard to believe that that much pain is the will of god, if u are looking to question god, then why are you dismissing a devils influence in everything, you cannot disprove either exists. And the rapist will most certanly go to hell, raping someone is not a good thing or the will of anyone beside the sickness of their own soul!

If god really did create the universe and EVERYTHING in it, then he created the rapist. He created someone with the potential to be capable of rape. Christians really do contradict themselves when they say that god create everything, but when it comes to the bad things they blame it on "free will" which is down to the way we think, which is down to or brain structure and early experiences, something god is directly responsible for.

We must. Thank you God for this most wonderful of gifts - we all know it is part of your ulterior motive...ahem, plan. It's quite obvious that if the rapist believes he will go to heaven regardless, why not rape, pillage and murder at random? All he needs to do is ask Jesus to forgive him. He's going up to Paradise with the child molesters, terrorists, war-mongers and pious ones.
People run around committing every "sin" under the sun because they've made up an excuse for themselves in God's "infinite mercy" (which doesn't seem to extend to two human adults of the same gender loving one another). Pretty disgusting. Allelujah.

Just one thing....06 % of ALL abortions (even less than how many are performed when the mothers life is in danger) are rape cases... conclusions?? Rape very rarely results in conception.
Last thing, we are not bacteria- no matter what you are trying to do with the thin logic reproduction is quite different and follows very different standards than the much lower life forms you are describing.
Good try, I understand your logic, but some questions (however 'logical' they may seem) Just don't make sense to ask.

I can see there's not much electrical activity in your brain, that's pretty obvious.
But, I'll play your silly game...
No... it is NOT God's will for a woman to be raped. If she is, the person who did it is sinning against her, and God. If she becomes pregnant, she has the option to give the child up for adoption, rather than kill a life.
If a rapist rapes, is convicted, he goes to prison. That is the consequences for his crime. If he does not repent before God, yes, he goes to Hell. If he repents, and asks forgiveness through Christ, and does this sincerely, he can be forgiven.
Ok...next issue...
Rape is not reproduction. Rape is the sexual assault of an unconsenting party. It's a crime. Reproduction is not rape.
Animals do not rape. Rape is a control, hatred crime. Microbes and bacteria do not rape one another. Rape is a conscious act of violence. These creatures do not commit conscious acts.
Ok.......my suggestion to you.....go get an education, learn how to read, pick up a Bible and read it, then you will be less likely to ask such ignorant and irreverent questions again.

That is the natural law approach. Absolutism basically - one act is less evil than the alternative. For example, if the couple were using contraception, this act would be more immoral than rape where the possibility of childbirth existed.
Proportionalism. Pretty fucked up I know. Thats Aristotle for you.

The question is making me a bit dizzy, I'm pretty sure 'god's will' is not an excuse for rape, ever.
