So I've already posted about this here, but I'm a tiny bit drunk (Buzzed, really) and as a Bisexual religious person who has chosen celibacy, this has always driven me absolutely insane.
Why does the Bible not condemn Heterosexual Pedophilia?
People talk about the decline in Sexual Morals because adult men attracted to adult men are being more and more tolerated in society.
All I can think is that in the Traditional Middle Ages, the first Tudor King's mother was married at 11 and pregnant at 12.
With the Church's blessing, we must assume. To think that a marriage would be seen as remotely legitimate, if done outside the Church, in those days.
This. Drives. Me. Absolutely. Mad.
As far as I can tell, reading the scriptures, God feels my attraction to other men is at best some burden to bear, at worst some inherent character flaw.
If I was a pedophile, though! Well, he has no commentary on that! Just marry first!
It's utterly maddening.
