Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Welllll, the Bible does tell of how God uses the rape of innocent women to punish their sinful husband. So if Brand's the flavor of Christian that believes the Bible contains an accurate representation of God's character, then Brand is acting perfectly in line with being a Christian.

2 Samuel 12:11, David has slept with another man's wife and then killed the man, God says he will have David's wives (concubines) raped in public to punish him:

Thus says the Lord, > ‘Behold, I will raise up evil against you from your own household; I will even take your wives before your eyes and give them to your companion, and he will lie with your wives in broad daylight.

He doesn't just condone rape or allow for it to happen, he actively makes it happen "I will raise up evil against you [...] I will take your wives before your eyes".

Reason 725 I deconstructed.
