Forums - Politics - US Senate candidate: Pregnancy from rape can be ‘something that God intended to happen’

binary solo said:
It's a fine point but he meant the conception was intended by God not the rape. Makes it a slightly less odious statement, but only slightly.

What he thinks or believes to be God's intent, besides being the height of arrogance to claim to know the mind of God, is not grounds for making public policy affecting those who think you're barking mad for thinking you know the mind of God.


True response.

 

I think he made a mistake in what he did as this happens all the time.

People will over react without reading everything and just base on title.

It sounds like a typical password.



Any woman who votes Republican at this point has seriously skewed priorities.

Tolerance.

tolerance is voided when you're actively out to harm people. He's promoting a culture of rape, like Todd Akin, and therefore deserves nothing but condemnation (and it only goes as far as condemnation because we live in a civilized society. If i had it my way...)

Whether God intended it to happen is irrelevant. The sad part is that he let it happen even though he knew it would happen, and saw it happen.

Mysterious ways indeed.



Still, getting riled up for someone saying that it is possible that God intended it to happen is ridiculous. How would anyone know for sure that God did not intend it to happen?

how can/why would an all powerful god let things happen that he didn't intend to happen anyways ?



I do think that God works in mysterious ways. I don't think that saying rape is God's will is a good choice of words. However, life is God's will and that is always a good thing.

For the record my wife's great grandmother was raped, and my wife's grandmother was a great influence on her life. Just saying. (Not to mention I have a wife because of it.)

Because we can't know that, and this isn't a theology class. This is politics, where this guy is trying to promote rape-culture and downplay the rights of women. A lowly, despicable scumsucker who should be cast out of civilized society and never allowed to appear in public again.

Oh, Christ. He's not actively out to harm people, he's just of the opinion that life has value regardless of how it came to be. You can disagree with him without thinking he's evil or a nutjob who should be buried alive. (I mean the hypothetical "you", of course. I realize by now that you aren't mature enough to be capable of this.)

Rape culture my ass.

Khan, many women are mothers who don't like the murder of little babies. Having sex with whoever or whatever you want consequences be darned is not a priority for most.
