Rape is a crime simply because the violation of one's right to choose the person with whom one wants to have sexual intercourse is a crime. Therefore, I repeat that in my opinion rape should be punished severely. I would have no problem at all to help the spirit of such a criminal to escape from its shell.
However, rape is not intrinsically evil: the victim will always remain a victim remembering her abuse during all her life, but some children that come into being as the fruit of rape have the chance to live and enjoy a good life. The children that received the gift of life through the crime of rape, are neither a product of "evil" nor "evil" themselves -they are just innocent, wonderful children;

So rape is not intrinsically wrong?

Originally posted by @dj2beckerNo. As I told you earlier, my answer to your question is: It is neither evil, nor non-evil, nor both, nor neither;
No worries. Would I be correct in assuming that your response to my question is a no? 😵
It is not intrinsically evil, because rape under certain circumstances becomes the means of the gift of life.
It is not intrinsically non-evil, because rape is definitely a crime under all circumstances.
It is not intrinsically both evil and non-evil, because it cannot be properly said that rape is both a crime and not a crime.
It is intrinsically neither evil and non-evil, because it cannot be properly said that rape is neither a crime nor a non-crime.

The good or bad actions of one incarnation will/may impact on the next one. (So a mass murderer in this life may get his comeuppance in his next incarnation,...possibly coming back as your therapist).

Originally posted by @ghost-of-a-dukeIf we are to assume Job is not real why do we consider karma real? Pretty inconsistent of you.
