Pedophilia in the Bible: this is a porn book

[Brian37]

Dude you are pulling a bait and switch. Everyone in the world back then treated kids, especially females as chattel.  Instead of just focusing on your part of the world, try studying world history.  If there was not ambiguous language in holy books, there would be no argument. I say that to Christians too. The age of consent in the Americas even today can be as low as 14 depending on country. Still plenty of Muslim  men, just like Warren Jeffs, our right wing sicko here, who DO use their holy books to justify child brides.

You make the same bad argument Christians do. If your deity didn't want this then there should be no way to ignore his words or twist his words. Allah or Jesus, if they don't want kid fucking, then why not make it clear? If this god is all powerful, and nothing  happens that they don't want happening why would this all powerful god fail to make it clear?

The truth is there is no Christian God and their is no Muslim or Jewish or Hindu ect ect ect God. THAT WAS THEN this is now. The idea of bartering children was RAMPANT in all of antiquity. You not liking how others of your same religion does not change the fact they also are using the same book. BUT AGAIN, that was then, and not just your religion, ALL of antiquity.

How hard would it be for an "all powerful god" to make it clear, "No sex until the age of 18". Now you show me those exact words in the Koran or bible for that matter. You wont find them.

God exists, and he himself "allowed it" to happen, but he didn't "order" people to do it.
Instead; he ordered them not to. That's the concept in the Quran.

God created both good and evil, and even inspired humans to do -and produce- both, but inspiring is different than order. I have Quranic verses that prove my point.

But these bible verses "order the believers" to commit pedophilia. And mentioned it to be "a normal thing" that is also "an example". That would tell me a lot about what I might suffer from if a "Christian believer" waged war on me. Tells me too why the Catholic church is full of pedophiles -if these were the verses they believe to come from a divine source-.


And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, Avenge the children of Israel of the Midianites ... And they warred against the Midianites, as the LORD commanded Moses; and they slew all the males ... And the children of Israel took all the women of Midian captives, and their little ones


It seems that the attacks that targeted "the little ones" were ordered by God himself. The Quran never mentioned such a thing. The Muslims who do so; are:
1-Taking Christians as example.
2-Take the Hadith as a source

So again;Brian:where is similar explicit verses in the Quran?

Hello, McFly.........

You keep missing my point. Stop assuming I am singling you or your religion out. I am pointing out a COMMON social norm that existed worldwide BACK THEN. But even today there are still those in India, in Asia, in the Americas, in Africa that look to their holy writings to justify marriage at a young age.

I could care less if you were a Christian, if nobody is supposed to get married until the age of 18, BACK THEN, then why isn't that clear in any holy book? BECAUSE BACK THEN humans were ignorant. The western modern value of allowing kids to grow up before taking on adult responsibilities is a result of technology and social stability, not the writings of antiquity. Not yours not any. 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Child_marriage  <------ The concept of bartering females as "child brides" is not unique to Islam, but there is nothing in the Koran either that demands no sex till the age of 18. 

I am NOT singling you or your religion out. My argument is the same with all religions "That was then, this is now."

Modern human psychology and psychiatry are better ways of explaining what a child is capable of understanding and not understanding and why there is no consent between a young kid and an adult. You don't need a holy book of any label to understand that.
