Marital Rape

I just like to think of you slobbering at the prospect of catching some jovial fellow.

Why do you want to be a "jovial fellow" when rape is being discussed?

Would it be rape if a Christian man did force himself on his wife? You haven't been clear about this.

a Christian would not force himself on his wife, if he did he would not be a Christian for i hold that a Christian is someone who follows the teachings of Christ. clearly such a man has abandoned those teachings and is something other than a Christian.

I am claiming nothing.

Is "claiming nothing" about what is and isn't rape, a moral stance on your part?

I am jovial because i am thinking of you slobbering away waiting for jovial fellows, not because rape is being discussed.

I have taken no stance, not moral, not ethical, nothing simply an intellectual one which anyone is free to refute and which i will accept if the logic is sound.

sorry no more questions today, enough, i will simply leave you with a question which i have asked three times and has been ignored three times,

I remember a rather interesting debate in the house of Lords or commons that i was following on radio 4, one of the MPs/Lords gave a speech in which he detailed a scenario whereby someones wife was initially unwilling but was persuaded with some kind words and eventually acquiesced to have sex with the words, 'i suppose so' were those words, does such an act in your opinion constitute a rape? the lady being unwilling?

So, at last, you are now accepting that there is such a thing as marital rape and you are suggesting that if a Christian commits marital rape, he stops being a Christian at that moment, right?

I certainly don't know where you have got that idea from, i certainly haven't said it and i suspect that you simply like to make stuff up, one must applaud such creativity.

Most people find it pretty straight forward to take a moral stance on rape. Why can't you?

I am sorry you people have asked me lots of questions and simply ignore the ones that i have asked of you, no more questions will be answered until you start answering some yourself.

why don't you simply answer my questions, i have answered lots of yours?

But it's you who is making the extraordinary claim that there is no such thing as marital rape.

I am uninterested in expressing my personal morality , i am interested in objectivity, surely you will know this by now, i have repeated it often enough.
