Not "Oh I am going to be born here because I will be raped and killed", rather the fact that it is a possibility and you attract those experiences you want to have. While it is tragic, it all makes up the human experience, because the fact is we do have free will, which is the same thing that makes saints as well as child rapists. People seem to want to deny the duality of it all and have only one side. There can't be one without the other, which is why in even in the most successful and happy persons life there is tragedy at one point or another. The beauty is that it is just a human experience, one of many you can choose to have throughout your infinity. While it may be uncomfortable, and a little morbid, they are all still experiences. I am sure you can think of myriad times you came out of a horrible experience a stronger and better person.

Not at all, where did you get that idea? A child is defenseless, regardless of what it was before it was born, and to prey upon that innocence is quite disgusting. However, you chose what life experience you wanted, so you cannot blame outside forces for what happens in your life.

I didn't say it was a flaw in logic because I disagree with your premise. I said it was a flaw in logic because, as it was written, it was flawed logic. Read it. Does the second one make sense? I understand your point as you have rewritten it and while I do not precisely agree, it makes sense.
