Asian and Middle Eastern cultures did have arranged marriages. In the US up to the vote on Suffrage the legal age was ten...Shorter lifespans mean earlier breeding even for humans... The ritual of confirming marriage by having sex would have waited until the first period was over..It takes no special "kind" of person only a desire to continue the species.
If you remember I made a post with a list of the main excuses Muslims use when discussing Islam. One of them was to change the subject, blame another religion. This holds true all the time. I could post a comment about something Islam does, and all the Muslims will crawl from the woodwork and say. That's nothing, look what Christianity does. Not one comment about the original post, just shift the blame to another religion. I could make a post about Christianity, and not once will someone post. That's nothing, look what Islam does. They will deal with the problem at hand, and not try to shove it under the rug.
Maybe you are different then me, but. I love women, known many in my life, but I could not become sexually aroused with a child. That takes a special kind of person. I remember "continue the species" was an excuse used by Christians/Jews when the stories of the pervert Lot came up.
I am speaking in a manner you can't comprehend as a sociologist of ancient society, not an avenue for you to daydream about pedophilia.
I just have a hard time with a society having all these young girls, and they give them to the dirty old men to get pregnant. What happened to the young boys. Sure, we have cases of pedophilia in all cultures and religions, but the big difference here is that is was done by the main character of a world religion. A person to set the stage for all time. No other society does this today other than the Muslims. Maybe some obscure religions off in the wilderness, but generally just Muslims. It sounds like you are speaking in a way to defend pedophilia.
young women have been marrying older men for thousands of years, why, wealth and position among the wealthy in society. The poor marry for love since that is all they have. All societies have done this to include the wealthy of the US...and they still do, just at an older age than nine. The reason has more to do with agrarian versus industrial societies.
It seems Muhammed's motives were pure sexual. Bukhari 9.139-40 "Allah's Apostle told Aisha, 'You were shown to me twice in my dreams I beheld a man or angel carrying you in a silken cloth. He said to me, "She is yours, so uncover her." And behold, it was you. I would then say to myself, "If this is from Allah, then it must happen."' There are lots of verses in Islam where Muhammed comments on the children for sex. And because Muhammed did it, It is OK for anyone to do it.
In the biblical fairy tale hell is temporary. In the Islamic fairy tale hell is eternal. There is a difference in hells. More people believe in the Islamic hell than in the biblical hell.
There is no religion built upon venerating the misdeeds of George Washington. There is however a religion built around Muhammad.
In Islamic Hell, most of the people are women. HMMMMM, considering the way they pass out virgins. I think most in heaven are women also.
In the Islamic paradise women are just sex slaves to eternally horny guys who alternate between women and cute boys.
So when hell gives up the souls in it on Judgment Day and gets thrown into the lake of fire you think that makes hell permanent?
Yeah, but they are in Hell for not appreciating what their husbands do for them, and in Heaven to bang the terrorists.
The Biblical hell isnt temporary. ...and "more people believe in the Islamic hell than the Biblical one." lol they do? Are these just random people from anywhere, did you take a poll?
The 'hadiths' of Muhammad do not necessarily reflect his actions while being a Prophet. Please remember that he was not always a Prophet. He was not born a Prophet, he was not a teen as a Prophet, nor was he a young adult as a Prophet. He was called into Prophethood when he was 40 years of age. All 'hadiths' prior to his 40 years of age, is like every other human being's story of life and love. So your point would have been?
We have no way of knowing how many people in these religions actually believe this stuff. Oh Yeah. So, at what point in time did he become a prophet.
I've got an idea.. Let's discuss the 'religion' of your preference.. In a good light, of course. Would you be uncomfortable sharing what your personal choice of 'religion' would be? Because I would enjoy discussing it. If it is okay
Sounds good. However right no I am wondering where you got the information for the post you made about Muhammed becoming a prophet. and at what point in time that was.
