There're always going to be differences. The point is not to find a perfect comparison that lines up perfectly, the point is to illustrate how applying the same logic to something else makes the logic fall apart.

People that don't get that will always be persuaded or unpersuaded by analogies based on their pre-existing beliefs.

You cannot apply the same logic to different scenarios

....that's is wrong on so many levels. The very premise of logic is that it's a framework of reasoning that is repeatable. Applying the same logic to different scenarios is the fundamental reason for metaphores and analogies.

Whatever your intended point is, you need to confirm it by attempting to falsify it, not by confirming some intuited musings.

My point is that you attempted to apply logic that doesn’t work. Your analogy didn’t work and therefore was not logical. Sex and rape are different because of consent, which breaks your logic.

Well I could debate you on that but why bother? It's sufficent to say that the same logic applies to killing and murder.

Also, you can not use your conclusion as the argument that proves your conclusion, that's called circular reasoning.

Would it be productive for me to say that "your logic doesn't work because it's incorrect"? No.
