      I agree on allowing culture to change naturally. When you try to abrupty impose social policies that oppose aspects of people’s culture, they naturally push back. I feel that much of the hostility towards LGBT and the like seems to be due to people’s desperation so they think that doing what “God” likes will get them more stuff. Naturally, if everyone has all the stuff they need, then no one will need to care much.

      Wanting death to rapists is all well and good but I heard from a victim that, because most sexual abuse is committed by people the victims know, punishing them with death disincentivizes people from reporting their abusers. Maybe that can be alleviated by teaching people from a young age to recognize abuse and that rapists must die no matter how you personally feel about them? I don’t know, it’s a sensitive issue and I’m fearful of letting my hatred for abusers (my own and otherwise) cause me to accidentally hurt victims.

        Perhaps the punishment should be set after consultation with the victim. Sexual abuse absolutely must be punished and prevented though.
