So, what you are saying is that rape cannot exist within a marrage?  Is this
part of what you are trying to say?  That a woman should be no more than a hole

I _dislike_ that viewpoint, and hope you don't support it.  I also hope that
you are _not_ trying to claim that homosexual relationships all involve rape,
either emotional or physical.

Kevin, I ask only because if you have disagreements that constitute such a "wide [moral] gulf," and are willing to lay down statements such as "there's no non-religious reason [by this I take you to mean 'rational']...," perhaps it would be (...)
