Then why the opposition (in general; not necessarily you specifically) to a hearing and investigation?
Fine. I'm just curious where you were going with that?
If you're trying to say that sexual assault is "just a thing that happens in high school", then
1) that wasn't the case at my school
2) that's a pretty questionable (at best) attitude
3) it doesn't excuse Kavanaugh or any other perpetrator of assault/rape/abuse.

Not as clueless as the people who have assumed guilt without evidence, not as clueless as considering a man guilty before a trial. That's called discrimination and bias.

There were other women willing to testify to Thomas' behavior in the workplace as described by Anita Hill. The Committee chose not to invite them to testify.

"We found three other women who had experiences with Thomas at the EEOC that were similar to Hill’s, and four people who knew about his keen interest in inappropriate content but were never heard from publicly. The evidence that Thomas had perjured himself during the hearing was overwhelming.
...
Among the corroborative stories — the potential #MeToos — that Biden knew about but was unwilling to use: those of Angela Wright; Rose Jourdain, another EEOC worker in whom Wright confided; and Sukari Hardnett, still another EEOC worker with relevant evidence. (“If you were young, black, female and reasonably attractive and worked directly for Clarence Thomas, you knew full well you were being inspected and auditioned as a female,” Hardnett wrote in a letter to the Judiciary Committee, contradicting Thomas’s claim “I do not and did not commingle my personal life with my work life” and supporting McEwen’s 2010 assertion that he “was always actively watching the women he worked with to see if they could be potential partners” as “a hobby of his.”) Kaye Savage, a friend of Thomas’s and Hill’s, knew of his extensive collection of Playboy magazines; Fred Cooke, a Washington attorney, saw Thomas renting inappropriate content videos that match Hill’s descriptions, as did Barry Maddox, the owner of the video store that Thomas frequented. And at least some members of Biden’s staff would have known Lillian McEwen had relevant information."

Nice non sequitor. Was it because you didn’t understand my statement, or are you just ignoring it?

I find it interesting that’s the worst human beings I’ve ever met turn out to be Christians. But we all find different things interesting...

You submitted a personal anecdote to support a claim of plausibility. I submitted one of many examples where a liberal activist completely fabricated an allegation of rape specifically to support an agenda. For the American left, fabricating stories of rape or attempted rape is an old standard. Just ask the Duke Lacrosse players.

Because concepts like "wrong" and "shame" should logically have no meaning for an atheist. In a godless universe, it's easy to imagine a science fiction scenario where men are given good citizenship awards for raping women. And the man who rapes the most women gets made President, or put on the Supreme Court.

The FBI opposes investigating because their job is to investigate crimes and there's no prosecutable crime here. I don't know why the accuser opposes a hearing, you'd have to ask her. My guess is that it's because she's lying, and liars don't want their lies scrutinized.
No, I don't know how you inferred anything like that. What I was saying is that it seems you never had basic high school civics. You seem un-American, or at least don't seem to understand America. If you think that shoplifting a candy bar and stealing the life savings from an elderly couple deserve the same punishment, you don't understand American political philosophy. Likewise if you think a person should have to prove their innocence whenever someone says something about them.

I find it interesting that every Seeker I've ever met has pushed me onto a bed, tried to remove my top and rape me.

Your bizarre idea that atheists would find no meaning in concepts like wrong or shame. And then your post just goes further off the rails from there.

Are you under the misguided impression that your example somehow “cancels out” my example? If you don’t like my anecdote, I can provide more concrete evidence that women are raped in front of other people.
Unless you identify with the far right of course. Then evidence may not be something you’re interested in if it disputes your internal narrative...
