"Consensual rape" is an oxymoron. But God can make all things possible, right? |

Now here's a story with a twist. Or, actually, more than one.
For starters, there's the, rather interesting debate between Stone and Jeremiah, where the author cleverly turns the tables. And not only by means of Jeremiah taking over the debate in his favour, but also by giving Jeremiah the role usually, in real-life, handed out to the non-believer.
In fact, even during the opening debate and all through the story, there's so many twists, that, by the time you've gotten to the end, you'll surely feel like a contortionist.
I've come to appreciate Ashley Zacharias as an author with a high level of intelligence, as mirrored in the submitted gemstones.
The only thing I can add is: read and sit in awe, for these stories are wonderfully concocted epistles, with layers of witty dialogues and truths so simple they become complicated mazes of reason defying logic. Does that make sense? Does it matter?

Superb Ashley. There were a few bits of the story that were less interesting than others. The actual conversation between Stone and the Susanne was somewhat counter-intuitive. Yes, it gave a good back story, and a plot twist, but kind of droned on. Also the notation about her masochistic influence and the definition seemed somewhat misleading.
However, my the praise for a job well done is not diminished. A very well written (and edited) story, holding me captive with the writing. You've got another fan, so please keep writing. I especially enjoyed the complete determination in the girl, no matter what she suffered, she would continue to suffer more until her time was done. That is one of the qualities I look for in these types of stories. Wonderful. (9/10)

Excellent work again, the intrigue works well. Might I respectfully disagree with a previous comment, I feel that she would have to leave to make the story work. My personal belief system disagrees with the story's point of view, I would have approached it a little more sympathetic to people of faith than your treatment of this group and I would have made the argument more pointedly that athiest still had failed to prove or disprove anything about God or dieties, thus culminating in the final blow to his "victory." That does not detract from the story at all and it works well front to back. well done once again (10/10)

Amazing story. Very well written, thought-provoking and hot. Poor ending, though. Far better if her masochistic nature made her fall for the atheist - and she stayed with him. (10/10)
