The Problem with Christians

[Silver]

I'm not in favour of child or adolescent sex or marriage, but I would be interested to know from an evolutionary point of view, why it is wrong for biologically able people to engage in sexual activity before the government-approved age. If you have sexual maturity, why is it "wrong" to use it? Doesn't natural selection indicate that sex at 12 or 13 is normal?

In essence, it boils down to mental age.

Granted, for starters, females mature faster than males in relation to mental age.

However, the law in question came about mainly because children are no longer taught the same kind of responsibility they were in the past.

Basically, it is a "let them be immature until they are required to enter the work force" type of deal.

Sad, but that is the type of society we have built for ourselves.
