A muslim woman has sex outside of marriage, regardless of whether its consesual, or non consensual, her religon dictates that she be put to death, even if she didnt consent to having sex in the first place.

Under the law of moses, an unmarried woman could also be put to death, for sex outside of marriage. If it was non consensual the death sentence depended on 1. was she inside a city walls, or out in the country. If she was in side the city and did not cry out thats it she was screwed, (Pun intended).

The concept of a God that can forgive even the blackest of things and make a person as white as snow, its a noodle baking moment. The concept of a God that can remove the shame of a woman who has held it for for nearly 25 years is huge. The concept of wise mind and emotional mind really comes into play here. Screw the fundies who say we should be avoiding pyschology altogther, many of them are the same fundies who would have us believe that an intellectual disability is the result of Demonic pocession.

Anyway back to wise and emtional mind, in wise mind I know that as a three year old there was nothing I could have done to stop what happened. The emtional mind however is a way different thing. The feelings of shame and disgust, and also anger that I tired to tell what was happening and wasnt believed.

I think though its one of those things that is not dependent on feelings, like I forgace the man who raped and sodmised me, but this morning when I was listening to wayne alcorm on healthy relationships, it was like being kicked in the guts. I think the decsion is that we can pick it up again when it rears its head, or we can leave it where it rests.

O lord let me never pick this up again. It almost killed me and I dont ever want to go there again
