179832, The Bible states again and again that God is inherently good.

That means his actions are always right, regardless of how they seem or feel to us.

I'm not telling you you have to believe that - most human beings on the planet do not believe it. But that's the logic.

By contrast, the ancient Greeks did not believe that their gods were inherently just. In fact, tons of rapes are committed by gods in Greek mythology and an ancient Greek would have immediately told you "oh yeah, Zeus raped whoever, or Poseidon raped this maiden, etc."

The point I'm making is that within Christian thought, that was not rape.
