What IS good, and how do we determine it?

[Huggy Bear]

Do you approve of raping 13-year-old boys?  Do you think it's more moral than raping 10-year-old boys?

Sorry that my hair-splitter is in the shop for sharpening.  You'll need to distinguish the moral differences of the two acts, and you'll need to explain why you regard that difference as meaningful.

This entire "it wasn't pedophilia, raping adolescents is called hebephilia" entirely dodges the point that priests fucking young boys  is a betrayal of the morality those priests are charged with exemplifying.

You're retreating to semantics because you know you've already lost the moral battle.  Don't think you're fooling anyone here ... but in case you do think that, I will make sure to disabuse you of that notion.

Oh the Irony.

You hypocrites came out of the woodwork to defend a homosexual (Harvey Milk) having sex with an underage teen, I wonder why you guys can't seem to get behind the homosexuals in the Catholic church.....

16 is the age of consent where I am. Bit shaky, but I don't find this particularly objectionable on its own, and certainly not enough to label the guy a pedophile. Seems like classic theistic stretching beyond their means to me.

Note that Milk recorded his age as 18.  It is credible that the boy said he was, and if you look at photographs, he looks all of 18.

He didn't look like a child, so the accusation of pedophilia collapses.

Gee I wonder what reason Milk would have to lie about age...

A statutory rapist under a superfluous law is one thing.  Taking the unreasonable theistic leap of referring to him as a pedophile is something else.

My point was about pedophilia.  Go ahead and quote statute, but that says nothing about whether or not Milk was a pedophile.

He does not fit the definition.

Speaking of semantics... you were saying?
