Since an analogy is a comparison, I'm not sure what this sentence
means.

This is not at all what I said in my second post - I said that if an
Order member raped someone, he would NOT be a good guy.

What other sense is there for an analogy?  For an effective
comparison, the two acts should be - on some level - of equal weight
and importance.  Otherwise you can keep extending the horizons until
you're equating the Holocaust with raiding the cookie jar.
