If God wanted rape to be impossible, women would have defense against rape. So is rape part of his plan?
February 282010
If God wanted rape to be impossible, he would have had teeth down there or at least some sort of mechanism to stop it from happening. He could have also made women stronger so that they could defend their bodies. However, God has made women so that if a man feels that she deserves to get pregnant, she does whether she likes it or not.
Therefore, did God intend for rape to happen? If a person rapes, the person is most likely male and since males are stronger than females, rape can easily happen.
Women DO have a defense against rape so therefore there is a God…Thank you random atheist:

Sexual abuse happens in too many situations. It can happen in the workplace, at school and at home. There are men who abuse adult women as well as underage girls. Girls and women should learn the basics of defending themselves against being treated in any way that feels inappropriate. Girls and women need to know that if they are uncomfortable, there is good reason for it. Start by saying "No!"–even if you are scared–and follow the steps below to protect yourself.
Instructions
Step 1
Use your voice. If somebody touches you and you don’t like it, say in a loud voice, "Please don’t touch me." This works extremely well in school and office environments. It also works in the home at family gatherings. If you are alone with an abusive person, it may deter him less but you should still do it. You want to be able to say, "I told him not to touch me!"
Step 2
Walk away. Avoid being alone with an abusive person as much as possible. Leave the room as soon as you realize you are alone together. If feasible, leave the house or building. There is safety in numbers, so either find a room with other people in it or go to the house of a neighbor that you trust.
Step 3
Stick to your story. If you claim that somebody is sexually abusing you, and people don’t believe you, don’t back down. You may not want to argue, but do not let anybody coerce you into believing you are wrong.
Step 4
Take a self-defense class. In a good self-defense class, you will learn how to get out of dangerous situations and how to defend yourself if you cannot get away. You may find it empowering to enroll in a martial arts class as well. Remember, however, that self-defense and martial arts classes teach useful skills and are not simply ways to learn to beat other people up.
Step 5
If you are a minor (under 18 years of age), talk to a school counselor about what is happening or what you are afraid of. If you are not comfortable talking to your counselor, find a teacher or other adult that you are comfortable talking to. School officials are required by law to protect you.
Step 6
Talk to your doctor. If you are a minor, your doctor is also required by law to protect you if he or she knows you are in an abusive situation.
Step 7
Get help via your local women’s group or professional counselor. College campus women’s centers often have information they give to the entire community (you don’t have to be a student). They can get you in touch with support groups who help people dealing with sexual abuse or the threat of sexual abuse.
Step 8
Call 911. If somebody wants to sexually abuse you, you are in danger and it is an emergency.
Step 9
If you are a victim of domestic violence, please follow the first link in the Resources section.

If women had teeth down there reproduction would be impossible.
Edit- The inventor of the gun never said to not go around shooting people who look at you funny. Does that mean he wanted us to do that?

Christians use rape as a tool. They deny the victim an abortion and force feed the baby christian principles, propagating the religion.

If you believe in an omnipotent and omniscient God then, by definition, everything must be a part of his plan. Every rape, every murder, every child molestation and every senseless death from disease or starvation. He sounds like a really great guy.

In Medieval church law it was a common argument in favour of rape that the victim had become pregnant. If the victim is with child, then God has clearly blessed the rape:- since He has used it to bring a new soul into the world.
Only a truly Christian mind could think such a thing.

It is the same for everything in this world, isn’t? Animals are defenseless against so called humans that abuse them and eat their flesh, besides the humans could happily live without meat and thus avoid so much suffering to others… result, what you do you get, eat meat now and you be eaten in the next life, rape and you will be raped, the law of karma.

You totally misunderstand the christian faith sin humans have the choice to follow Gods law or their own choice and turn their back on God
God condemns rape murder and anything that hurts another human being
Sin is the cause of this not God

There IS a mechanism in place. It’s called The Law of the Jungle, aka Survival of the Fittest.
Sure, rape happens, but not just ANY rape.
Not all men are capable of raping just any woman.
The way the system works is that only the most physically fit men are strong enough to rape the most physically fit women. (Serena Williams isn’t in danger of being raped by the kid from the high school A/V department. And for the record, she’s not about to have consensual sex with him, either.)
This insures that only the strongest genes make it into the next generation.
Incidentally, God’s plan for rape also includes steering the rapist’s penis to the proper destination. All but the very weakest women DO have the ability to prevent oral and anal rape, just by refusing to relax their muscles, thereby leaving the rapist only one avenue of satisfaction, even though he might prefer a variety.
