When I took "Christian Moral Principles" at the University of Steubenville

the subject of killing another human being came up.  As you know, it is not

always immoral to kill another human being (depends on the circumstances).

However the professor said that rape is immoral in ANY circumstance.  

What would be your reply to that?

Define 'rape'.

Engaging in sexual behavior with someone who is unwilling to be a part

of such behavior.>>

I would think that rape is totally wrong.   If such a case were to occur, and
the women or man had an oppurtunity to "kill" the person out of self-defense,
I would not see a problem with that.   But assuming the way things are done
today, you would probably have a real tough time trying to prove that you were
defending yourself, unless there were any eyewitnesses.
