"And still you won't answer my question as to where you would draw the line. Rape is a sin."
Your 'God' effectively raped Mary. And, as she was married at the time, 'God' also broke his own 7th Commandment. So, by your own admission, your 'God' is a sinner, thus he's not perfect, therefore he's a contradiction to himself, ergo he doesn't exist.QED.
"Would you not enforce punishment on rapists?"
If your 'God' exists, then I'm punishing him by my not acknowledging his existence. What could be worse for a suposedly 'omnipotent' deity who can't possibly exist without being given 'glory' unto him by one of his 'creations'?!
"And once again, I have not based any argument on my Biblical beleiefs but rather on what I believe is good for society."
Indeed. The law of the land says non-consenting sex is illegal. Certainly the philosophical fact that if you wouldn't like being sexually violated without your consent, then you certainly wouldn't do the same to anyone else. Anyone who does is a danger to society and thus should be removed from society until they can prove to decent civilised society that they'll never do so again. Your own Scripture however, says otherwise:

Ergo, the more than infinite evil of your so-called 'Biblical beleiefs' (sic), and the infinite superiority of Humanistic - and thus Atheistic - morals, and the laws of all decent, civilised countries. QED.
...although if a fundie (who no doubt has railed against the 'evils of homosexuality') winds up in the slammer, and finds himself being Bubba's (and the rest of the cellblock's) bitch & cumdumpster, then I'll draw the line beyond that. 'Sauce for the Goose', and all that jazz...
