Let me get this straight. The Bible does not condemn or prohibit pedophilia. That tells me that if we used the Bible as a law book. Pedophilia would not be illegal within marriage. [/quote] Here's the problem: You're trying to deliberately be an ignorant asshole. The whole idea of Children being super-hella-precious is a very new thing, culturally. The Bible doesn't mention what you want it to because back then it was an issue for NOBODY. Children were just young people from the time they could hammer a nail or drag a plow, and the girls were married off as soon as possible for one less mouth to feed. Remember, people didn't live as long as they do now. That's another thing. Okay, so now we have everything handed to us on a silver platter we now have time to treat children as precious objects of veneration and fragile psyches which, in turn, produces super leftist spoiled shitbags as adults. Don't try to make an ancient text conform to your modernist, unrealistic expectations. You don't understand the trials and tribulations of the ancient world. Now run along and get back to your wii :onmywii: [/quote] If it was an issue or not for people is not relevant. The Bible is not peoples opinions or issues. It is the word of God according to Christianity. So obviously at what age girls get married is not important to God. Accually it is less important then buttons in clothing. [/quote]

The Catholic Archbishop of Durban, Wilfrid Fox Napier, has described paedophilia as a psychological "illness, not a criminal condition".
The South African cardinal told the BBC that people who were themselves abused as children and then abused others needed to be examined by doctors.
He was one of 115 cardinals who took part in the conclave at the Vatican to elect Pope Francis earlier this week.
He said he knew at least two priests, who became paedophiles after themselves being abused as children.
