Rape Is The Will Of God.....?

Last edited Thu Mar 23, 2017, 11:36 AM - Edit history (1)

Women should get as far away from Oklahoma as soon as possible because Christian Sharia law is about to make their lives a living hell.

If Oklahoma state GOP Rep. George Faught has his way, rape will be on the path to being legal in the state. At least that’s what rapists are hoping for after Faught made a frightening statement on the subject during a debate on House Bill 1549, which restricts abortion.

Democratic Rep. Cory Williams masterfully cornered Faught during the hearing by asking him if he believes rape and incest are the “will of God” since the legislation has no exceptions for either, meaning women would be forced to give birth to their rapist’s baby.

Faught’s reply is absolutely appalling and demonstrates once again why women should never vote for Republicans, especially Republicans who want to base our laws on the Bible.

would have to conclude the same.

Now, if you were to go Greek and believe in multiple deities, you could just blame the ones you don't like.

Oh well!

Then he goes on to say rape/incest "if it happens in someone's life, it may not be the best thing that ever happened."

Ya think, Georgie Boy? My gosh, this fellow is a gem.

“Well, you know, if you read the Bible, there’s actually a couple circumstances where that happened,” Faught said. “The Lord uses all circumstances. I mean, you can go down that path, but it’s a reality unfortunately.”


Deuteronomy 22:28-29 - Rapists must marry their victims (if they are caught).

Numbers 31: 7-18 - Yahweh commanded the Israelites to kill rival tribes but keep the young virgins of those tribes for themselves.

Deuteronomy 21:10-14 - The proper procedure as to when you are allowed to rape one of your female captives is outlined. (Gotta give her time to mourn her family whom you murdered, ya know.)

Many other verses support or condone rape.

that headline in the subject line might actually be triggering for some people. Not saying you're wrong for posting it or anything anything. Just wondering if we can present it differently.

More misogyny from the party of traditional family values and from a religion whose book supports enslaving women.
