Seriously, we like to "avoid" this question but he's obviously having a internal conflict here
"even when life begins in that horrible situation of rape. It is something that God intended to happen"
How can anyone really "argue" with him here....that's exactly what his faith leads him to believe...no amount of logic is going to change this, because for every event in life, HE BELIEVES GOD WILLS IT
The weather....sports....weight loss....beauty....everything in his life is a result of God's will. He's just rationalizing it. If you're religious, how can you say he's awful/wrong for it, without first acknowledging his reason for saying it. Your only real rebuttal can be that rape is the act of the devil, because it distances the act of rape from being a controlled act of God.
Again, he believes that 100% of life is controlled by God......
