26. Rape is a good example of what most everyone would
consider an "inherently immoral" act. But rape is an assault, and as such, is an act of violence. It is only "moral" or "immoral" based upon the judgment of the individual. I, personally, think that rape is an abhorrent crime, but the "immorality" of the act is based within the minds and consciousness of the individuals involved.

The simple fact is that you cannot tell me what is moral or immoral any more than I can tell you. We may agree on individual issues as to what is and is not "moral", but that agreement is just circumstantial...
