I'm not saying BYU is God, but I'm curious to know if you believe that if we make a bad decision, and suffer a horrible consequence, that the suffering absolves our guilt and removes our punishment.

I think it should be left to the bishops judgment

I'll leave that to God. I'm saying I'm not interested in dishing out punishment.

I think God is more interested in comforting one of his children who was raped

A difference:

And most parents aren't prosecuted when they do this.

Would not prosecuting the parent in that scenario serve some huge social benefit

Important difference is that the parent's actions caused harm to someone else

Rogue Gunner

Being raped is not a direct consequence of decisions good or bad it's a crime.

So you throw justice out the door in the process? Not saying

The problem is that the church university seems to only care about justice.
