Your only issue seems to be with Islam, and the only time you admit something is with Muhammad, makes me wonder...
I consider myself an anti theist in the making, so I address all Religions. But you, however seem to only attack Islam, actually kinda typical. And I'm starting to believe you are the kind of closed minded type of; man of faith. So your God is the best and you will now go to heaven for defending him on the internet, eeeehm, great.
This is exactly my point, and still you....don't...get...my....issue. Of course Religion didn't invent these horrors, however does practice them in the name of...a deity of some sort which makes them severely deluded.
All, in the name of...... ??? Whom was their guide...?? Ah yes, their decisions came from heaven I guess.
If you think it was alright, in any time to wed and bed a child?! Then we are done. Then you might tell me that they didn't know any better, well, God said; ''First I'll let the grown ups have their fun with little kids, marry them and fuck them, and then later I'll make them create laws to forbid this. But first I have to make so many kids suffer.''
This does not make any frikkin' sense to me at all ! Why not put it in the commandments? Thou shalt not have sexual intercourse with children. Or why did he not make one of his spokesman tell his people that marrying and fucking a child is wrong, no, let's wait a few hundred years before we put a stop to this.
Your an Anglican, someone who believes that what is in the OT and NT will bring you salvation. I keep forgetting I'm arguing with someone who believes in a dictator in the sky. Because that is what it all comes down to, follow the lessons in the Bible and be allowed into heaven. Dawkins and Hitchens have in many debates slaughtered on what you think is ''the way''. Or a 'middle-way' at that.

Quote:it wasn't that unusual for men in their 30's to marry teenage girls at that time. So what?You say; so what !? A true child molester could think the same thing - So what, it was done back then and by Joseph Smith, I can do it too.

Quote:All it sounds like to me is uninformed antisemitic garbage.I am so glad you said 'uniformed'. Because I got that little piece of info from Christopher Hitchens' book. I'm almost sure you will make a lousy attempt to bash and discredit him, however, I will just smile when you do and let you swim happily in your pool of ignorance. That is only if...
Quote:What is not tolerable, what I find disturbing, and the problem with the RCC is their policy was to protect the image of the church - and that meant keeping these matters private, secret, and away from law enforcement. It meant that molesters were allowed to continue their activities, it meant that victims were neglected. I'm on the record on this, I have no love for the RCC and especially not for their track record in how they handled child sexual abuse.

Quote:The only religion you can level that claim against, is Islam. And I think you know that.Really ?! So every other Religion is perfect in comparison to Islam ? And again, the only Religion you degrade is Islam. Note - Islam is not the only one that committed horrors to children.

After the game, the king and the pawn go back in the same box.
