it's based on the idea that nothing bad can ever happen to them -- they have God on their side -- THEY will never be raped. Anything bad that happens is a punishment from God. I always wonder how these people react when something truly terrible happens to them.
The other day I heard a fundie say that a person she knew had received terrible life-threatening burns in a house-fire because that person "didn't know God."
It's the same mentality that has no interest in the rights of the accused. If you have been accused, you must be guilty of something. Otherwise you would not have been accused. If something bad happens to you, you deserve it.
