When asked if child abuse and sexual assault are good bad or neutral actions it seems that most people agree that abusing and assaulting others is not good, that part of the question should hopefully be easy. The intresting part is: why is it bad?
It is suprising how often the answer one will hear to this question from believers is because god says it is bad..... which really doesnt mean anything and im not really sure where god says that anyway and it makes morailty dependent on the whims of an authoritative moral dictator. A different answer to the question of why is: that past examples show for instance abusing a child leads to that child being more likely to repeat the behavior and abuse children as an adult. So it is therefore bad for society to allow that behavior as it will probably generate more of the same negative behavior and weaken society. There are probably other really good reasons too that do not rely on the necessity of god to not commit selfish actions.
Also if god (yahweh) is a supernatural being that is only capable of postivity (all-good) than how can he judge and condem people for an action such as assault (rape) when by definition of being all-good god could not possibly understand the feeling of lust.... seems pretty unjust to me for the condemer to be incapable of suffering the same fate because it is incapable of feeling that temptation
Im not trying to in any way endorse sexual assault im just saying i don't think it makes sense that a god would have the right to judge this action when it couldnt understand it completly and is therefore ignorant of the entire situation.....
