The point stands - the evidence for God is sufficient in an objective sense.
Which God? What evidence? Your post doesn't make that clear.

And do you think that the Creator of the universe, the Omniscient, all powerful God, doesn't know about the 14-year-old's situation?
Who cares what God knows? It's what the people who read his Bible are going to do that Rei is obviously concerned about. Unless God tells them differently, they're going to follow his words, which means they're either going to force her to marry the rapist (setting her up to be raped her whole life) or stone her to death. Now, explain to me how God knowing the situation matters one bit when the people who are going to stone her to death don't know?

No offense, Rei - and I sympathise, I truly do, with any victim of rape - but sexists usually aren't swayed by emotional or visceral appeals.
It's been my experience that any person who holds repellant views (racists, sexists, etc) does so only because they've been able to suppress their natural revulsion. Trying to appeal at that level won't work because they're already too good at ignoring it.
