It's hard to blame a person for not knowing and abiding to the sexual morality of the 21st century when he was born in the 6th.
Bolded A: Why is it reasonable? If he played naked games with 6 year olds already, and full on penetrated 9 year olds... What says he didn't quite enjoy it?

You seriously swear him free of the act because it's possible, just possible, that he REALLY didn't like it but felt forced into it (specially being some sort of damned King with enough power to create a damn world religion... Yeah, he CLEARLY is a victim here, not a thing he could have done to avoid it).

That's from the purely secular perspective.



Bolded B) The religious perspective is where it gets REALLY interesting to me. I have already explained my view on this some posts up, but yeah, Allah is either made up, or an absolute ****hole if he seriously don't consider pedophilia to be worth a clause in the Quaran, no?

How can anyone SERIOUSLY defend this...

Sure PEOPLE at the time might have done whatever weird things... But surely an almighty god would know just a little bit better, and be able to communicate it? He sure seems to have been able to communicate a WHOLE lot of other things very clearly.

"Don't have sex with someone not in a position to say no" is IMHO setting the moral bar so low, that it should be a damn cornerstone in each and every religion worth a ****.
