I never claimed that age of consent is an objectively moral thing.
Reflect carefully on what you just OKed.
All these ancient examples aren't about age of consent. They're about forced marriage. Girls being sold like cattle to men they never seen before in their lives.
Forced is wrong, yes. I don't think this was the case with Mary and Joseph. Unlike morals, I believe the age of consent is subjective, at least to a certain point. I don't believe there is a hard line there.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
