Pedophilia in the Bible: this is a porn book

[Mystic]

I understand, but trying to seeing reasons that justify, aren't necessarily romanticizing it.

But if we already know what the justifications were historically, then why try to come up with better and fairly new justifications just to suit the sensibilities of the more civilized religious mind? It doesn't come off as honest to me. People back then didn't know any better compared to us, so they did shit back then that was considered ok to them but is now clearly seen as barbaric to us, and so naturally ancient writings are going to contain verses and passages that just aren't going to appeal morally/ethically to us. And this includes the Qur'an, whether you like it or not. There is nothing special about the Qur'an that would make me want to reconsider my interpretations of the more aggressive verses in it just based on your "what if" argument.

They didn't have the utilities and structure to transcend this, so it was barbaric but it was a necessary evil at that point.

For people who saw glory in battle, this would be a huge thing to deter them, as ancients would find this the biggest consequence. More harder then even the slaughter of their heroes and men.

Do you even know people?  Telling me that you're going to rape my daughter isn't a deterrent to war..it's a reason for me to burn you out of your bed while you sleep.  Thankfully, I'll leave your little girls alone when I;m done dealing with you.....because I'm not a godamned monster........

Does allah know the people he's supposed to have created?  Wouldn't he understand this basic fact about us, even if you don't?

I think I understand people think twice of attacking, if there was no slavery,  people would say, the least that happens to us, is we have to live under their authority so why not just attack them and see what happens.
