“I believe that violent rape by a sexual predator should be answered by a tall tree and a short rope.”
Second, given what I said above, I believe that violent rape by a sexual predator should be answered by a tall tree and a short rope. But I don’t believe that the statutory rape of a seventeen-year-old girl by her nineteen-year-old boyfriend should be treated the same way. Sue me. In between those two extremes of rape are various other gradations of rape, and I am afraid to disappoint Ms. Moon, but I am not in favor of any of them. Who would have thought? I would want to punish them differently, but I would want to punish them all.

A Few Obvious Observations
If you would have known these facts, you wouldn’t have moved. You would have concluded, with pretty much the rest of the world, that the so-called “work” in Moscow is a sociopathic freak show. They send convicted child-abusers on missionary trips and they marry serial pedophiles knowing they intend to sire children. Of course, he doesn’t post this madness on his website. He hides it in order to create an optical illusion of the Promised Land. But Moscow is the mirage — and suddenly your former “happy-clappy” PCA church looks like a bastion of biblical orthodoxy.

“Violent rape is a judgment of God upon a people”
Violent rape is a judgment of God upon a people. . . Violent rape is God’s judgment upon a culture, and individual women who are part of that culture are included in the judgment. . . . We see the same judgment at work in disintegrating cultures: ‘Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil’ (Eccl. 8:11). Here the rape is not being perpetrated by foreign soldiers, but is the result of citizens turning on one another. Every culture is a gathering of sinners, and so rape is always a possibility. But when God’s hand of judgment is heavy upon a people, women are in far greater danger of sexual assault than at other times. It is interesting to note that in these, our ‘enlightened’ times, a woman is far more likely to be abused in this way than before all the liberation happened. Douglas Wilson
