I love to watch documentaries, especially ones about animals. Well I recall watching a documentary about this scientific couple who reared a chimpanzee in their home in Africa. The couple treated said chimpanzee like family, taught it sign language, and of course unwillingly taught it human habits. Well this chimpanzee was a male and eventually grew up to maturity. At that point, the chimpanzee became obsessed with the wife. Several times it tried to mate, uh excuse me have intercourse with her. When her husband came close to her, the chimpanzee would attack him. Sadly, they had to reeducate this lovelorn chimpanzee back into the wild.
So why do you think, she rejected the chimpanzee's advances? Perhaps the chimpanzee could have treated her better than her husband. If the husband filed for divorce or wanted to be separated from his wife, on the legal document could he put down "suspected wife to have an affair with chimpanzee"? Why did they make the chimpanzee go back to the jungle, if he was only doing what came natural? What is natural to every male in the animal kingdom?
In the unfortunate event, the chimpanzee did sexually assault the wife, could the chimpanzee be charged with said crime? Plus if the chimpanzee only knows a few words in sign language, how can he have a fair trial? If convicted what type of prison arrangements would have to be made for the chimpanzee? Then in prison, inmates work and some of that earned income is used to pay off their fine. What type of prison job, will a chimpanzee get? What of the parole board?

Well VT victim, what does my educational background have to do with this question? I have and am currently taking science classes at this moment to get my RN degree.
Besides, didn't the scientists know that the chimpanzee wasn't human as well? Why were they treating it like a member of the family, but when it acted in a behavior they didn't like, they kicked it out. The only people who were idiots were the scientists.

Barbara,
Oh be quiet. What atheist can't get some ribbing to? Besides, I think theist love my questions?
Also if you are going to state statistic please provide your sources, and not something from the new york times. No one knows who is an atheist or not, because many of them are incognito.

Ngj1225, did I say that? You did, but not me. The chimpanzee was attracted to the wife, not the wife was attracted to the chimpanzee.

Barbara,
How dare you promote a religious website in order to teach me tolerance. I have plenty of tolerance, but I have no tolerance for hypocrisy. Your ironic manipulation of religious tolerance in order for you to remind me on what I am "suppose to do" is foolish.

All joking aside (sorry for the sarcasm).
Those scientist were both wrong. They shouldn't of treated that chimpanzee like a member of the family. They forgot that the chimpanzee is an animal and not a human.

Isn't that what all boys really want to do? Kill their father and marry their mother?

Chimpanzees are not human. I know that Christian education doesn't stress biology and that home schooling is hit and miss at best, but if you are watching nature programs, I would have expected a little to have been absorbed by your mind.
I am sorry you are having interspecies thoughts, this can lead to trouble, and perhaps you should go and see a psychologist before you loose control and act on your fantasies....

Perhaps you should be asking this to practitioners of christianity as atheists have lower divorce rates.
I've answered some of your questions, quite respectfully too. Most of your questions have been very thoughtful but you've certainly gone bargain basement here.

There is no concept of "marriage" in the chimpansee social pattern. Two chimpansees can have a limited partnership, and bi-sexuality is very common in the chimpansee society.

Now, imagine they raised a young godling, who grew up to be a mature male god and did have sex with the wife. wouldn't it be a base for a new religion.

So basically you're trying to say that Atheists engage in bestiality? Oh, I see...because we have no morals? Grow up you moron!
I spelled it out for you, you implied it!
