Is it OK to have sex with kids?

[kılıç_mehmet]

Well, to people who believe in moral relativity, yes.

Or a raiding turk.

Kid is too arbitrary.

Prepubescent. NO morally and biologically wrong.

Post pubescent. Biologically correct, yet the morality of it depends on the society/culture.

[Oldandeasilyconfused]

Well, to people who believe in moral relativity, yes.

According to tradition,The Prophet Muhammad's wife Aisha, was 6 or 7 when betrothed to Muhammmud, and 9 when the marriage was consummated.


I'm a moral relativist. So far I have not been able to think of a single circumstance where adult-child sex would be anything other than immoral.

The full article is worth reading.

Moral relativism may be any of several descriptive, meta-ethical, or normative positions. Each of them is concerned with the differences in moral judgments across different people and cultures:
Descriptive relativism describes the way things are, without suggesting a way they ought to be. It seeks only to point out that people frequently disagree over what is the most 'moral' course of action.
Meta-ethical relativism is the meta-ethical position that the truth or falsity of moral judgments is not objective. Justifications for moral judgments are not universal, but are instead relative to the traditions, convictions, or practices of an individual or a group of people.[1] The meta-ethical relativist might say "It's moral to me, because I believe it is".[2]
Normative relativism is the prescriptive or normative position that, because there is no universal moral standard by which to judge others, we ought to tolerate the behavior of others - even when it runs counter to our personal or cultural moral standards.[3] Most philosophers find that this position is incoherent, or at least that it is unclear how meta-ethical relativism can lead to 'ought' statements.[3]

After his ban from here DrDolittle
went to atheist forums.org and posted
the same question under the username of
banjofrog. One thought it an unusual topic for
a virgin poster whilst another asked how many sites
he was intending to reference it on. He has not been banned
but has avoiding engaging beyond the original post. Their discussion
has stretched to four pages with one questioning why this should be so and
a few engaging in deep debate although I only skimmed. I am a member there but
a dormant one. I only went there because of the ban reference and then I saw it. But no
longer use it as their font makes me uneasy. So only four rational sites for me. That is all. Thank you

Yeah, suspicions confirmed, its wall art meant to defame a forum and the related stance on religion.

[Cinjin]

why are people still keeping this sick thread alive??!?

Stop posting in here for christs sake!

[JollyForr]

Um, yeah. If you "stumbled" upon this post first, you have other issues.

I'm getting a trollanoid feeling here.

I don't really think you should have taken my post too seriously, or literally. I can't see how you are receiving this "trollanoid" feeling, but congratulations on distorting and alienating my comment.
I think if anyone first saw a post of this nature, they would click on it just to see what the hell it is all about.

I think you may be wrong, but, if that's where you go when you first visit an atheist site, cool beans; just don't act surprised before you spend some time looking for posts that are actually about atheism.

Yeah, well it was just staring me in the face, and the sheer incredulity of it just forced me to take a peek; see if it was a serious thread. It's like walking down the street, someone screams, and you don't even give it any notice.
Anyway, I know there'll always be threads like this, and I wasn't really being that serious when I said, ''it isn't always like this is it?'', just because it was my first time.
No hard feelings. I'm going to stop fueling this thread now.
