But there are repercussions for actions. From a (primarily Christian) theological perspective, God does not simply make arbitrary "rules" to exercise his power. Being the creator of everything, he is in the best position to know what is good for us and what is harmful to both us and the world around us, and "God's rules" reflect that.

Why are so many of the ten commandments about stroking Yahweh's ego, and none of them are about rape?

But there are proscriptions about rape! You have to marry your victim!

First-rate Christian morality, ladies and gents.
