Pedophilia; I can't accept it.

[Arellius]

Because I've gotten more into researching religion, I've come across some shocking details. Allot of you might already know this and it probably has already been discussed a million times, however I couldn't resist starting a topic about it.

I had a conversation with a colleague of mine who is Islamic. So I asked her ''Was Aisha really between the ages of 6 and 9 ?!'' And she confirmed, but she told me Muhammad had married her so she would not get raped. Because that was very common back then. It's now unclear to me whether or not they had intercourse, but still... A grown man marrying a child as young as 9 is just gross. Putting it mildly. It can be argued that ''times were different'' back then, but then I think they were pretty ignorant to the biological functions of humans, especially women. It is WORLD NEWS when a grown man (21+) has intercourse with another human being that's even younger than a teenager. Today, the whole world would be sickened at such news.

Another detail I came across (Christianity) is that Joseph was said to be in his 40's ? I read other articles where Roman Catholic priests argue that he was 90. Well fine, between the ages of 40 and 90. Then I read that Maria was just hitting her teens ?! That she was between the ages of 12 and 14. And she bares a child. Not only that........

1. So God knows how we will all develop in the next 2000 years to come, how death could be wished upon a man who'm is in an intimate relationship with a barely-teenage girl.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, God's child, Mary was a virgin, I know. [sigh] But still, they were husband and wife. If a man showed up at my door with his barely-teenage wife, I'd beat the shit out of him then call the police.

''But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife.''

Yes she was his wife, and it is such a damn shame that Freud wasn't around at that time. He could of talked to Joseph about his dream.

2. Not to mention all those infamous and disgusting priests that we all know of. I work at Madame Tussaud and there is a wax figure there of Paulus Johannes II - I chuckle each and every time a little boy sits on the seat next to him to make a picture.

3. Times might of been different back then, however. Couldn't God of made an 11th Commandment ? ''Thous shalt not bed minors.'' Or something like that.

God knew what was coming, we all detest pedophiles, horrible people! So why let it go on for so long if ''Times were different'' back then ?! I'm 100% with Christopher Hitchens on God being a tyrant on that one.

4. I believe it was a man made decision for adults to not have intercourse with children. Mankind developed and eventually (finally) saw the disgusting aspect of grown men having sex with girls between the ages of 6/7 and 13/14.

Let's just say mankind had not come to it's senses and did not develop on the subject of sex and intercourse, what kind of suck world would this be ?! And God would just watch...

I tried to look it up but I couldn't find any information which says that the Bible prohibits underage sex. It was common for 13 year old girls to wed and bed back then, but seriously...With a 35+ year old adult !!?? Sickening. And the world [mankind] today would think so too.

I don't think, after what I read and found out, that I could ever accept the religions containing these stories. No matter what the underlying lesson is, underage sex is sick. Period.

I'm open to all info, maybe someone could give some more info on the subject or how it was exactly. Theories are good, facts are even better...
