He is rotting in jail, very much alive if I'm not mistaken. I only know of my sister's account.
Originally posted by @fmf But he was left free to rape other women and possibly children for years because your sister refused to act after what you claim happened to her?
You have no idea what kind of brainwashing occurred at the place, my sister went to tell the leader about it, I feel he should have notified the authorities but he didn't and he forbade her to tell my parents (or anyone else about it) and I guess after his confession the perpetrator was was 'forgiven', which is the main reason my sister left the place.

That's quite a moral upbringing you're describing there. The brainwashing seems to have wreaked havoc on you and your family. She was told to keep a rape secret from her parents and she obeyed him. I hope no other women were raped as a result.

You have no idea. It's quite easy for you to be judgemental looking in from the outside. She did tell them after she had left.

Even when the rapist threatened to kill her, she still didn't tell her parents or anyone else. That's a moral black hole on all fronts.

What exactly is a' moral black hole' within the context of moral relativism?
Originally posted by @fmf I am using my moral compass to discuss a case you raised. I wonder how many people he raped. I wonder how many victims he threatened to kill.
You sound like you are subscribed to moral absolutism even though you don't seem to want to admit it. Would you care to elaborate why rape is always wrong in all cases if there are no moral absolutes?

It's stuff like, not taking steps to protect children and women from being raped when you know who the rapist is. It's stuff like raping women and then threatening to kill them.

That would be logically consistent if you believed in moral absolutes. How does that reasoning logically follow from moral relativism?

I don't believe in "moral absolutes" as you define them. We've discussed this time and time again. My stance has not changed. What about my argument at the foot of page 3?

Your argument at the bottom of page 3 is a meaningless word salad within the context of moral relativism. It would make a lot more sense within a context of moral absolutes.
