Ah, those Republican pedos
Quote:Louisiana GOP doesn't want to stop child marriages because teenagers can be 'very mature'
Almost all the examples given by Republicans involved situations where two teenagers want to get married. However, in Louisiana, it's far more common that underage girls end up married to adult men. A PBS Frontline report found that between 2000 and 2010, over 4,300 minors were legally married in Louisiana, including someone as young as 12. Of those marriages, over 80% were between young girls and adult men.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
