Between rape and murder, which is the worse offense, and why?

[Ether's Bane]

First off, MAJOR TW, for obvious reasons.

Basically, what it says in the title.

Because 1) I was curious as to what you guys think and 2) I figured this might stir up an interesting discussion.

Apples and oranges.

what kind of criteria would you apply to this sort of thing to determine which is worst? do you mean worse ethically or judicially? are rape or murder cases ever judged on anything other than a contextual perspective? why is it important to determine which is worse if we can agree that they're both morally reprehensible criminal acts?

i dunno. different rape or murder cases aren't interchangeable and i don't feel comfortable judging on the whole whether rape or murder is a worse thing to do. who am i to judge how severe someone else's experience of rape or murder is?

Sorry but this is a horrible thread

I was leaning towards the ethical perspective. As for the reason for this thread, the intent was to see if you guys deem the ultimate sexual violation or the ultimate physical violation as the more grievous offense - it was meant to stir up discussion and get us thinking.

Good to see that you decided to make such an informative, valuable, necessary post.

I could say the same about you ... there's literally no value to this question and it's just kind of needlessly offensive and invasive :/

I really don't see this going anywhere pleasant.
