It is something that's really really really hard to go all "it was a different time" and "it's fine, everyone did it" about. It's just too fucked up.

[-] [email protected] 47 points 1 year ago

This excuse would be plausible except for one thing. You claim to have a direct line to a supreme being who tells you right from wrong. You think they'd drop a hint about not shagging kids.

[-] [email protected] 37 points 1 year ago

From everything I've read, this supreme being doesn't seem like a great guy

[-] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago

Unless you talk to a certain KIND of religious person, then they see absolutely nothing wrong with it "because it's in the holy book" therefore it's okay in modern times too.

That's one set of emails and calls to CPS I won't ever lose sleep over.

it was a different time!

…NINE. YEARS. OLD. YOU FUCKING PSYCHO.

I'm not sure if this is a quote from something or you were replying that to me or the hypothetical person who would say that.

[-] [email protected] 24 points 1 year ago

He's replying to the hypothetical person who would say that

[-] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

Okay, I was a bit concerned that someone would think I thought that.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

The hypothetical case. The quote format was supposed to indicate that, but I suppose it wasn’t super clear.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Huh. While I still understood what you meant, I just realized my client or theme does a not great job at indicating when something is quoted. (Voyager with a darkish mode theme.)

I've also heard apologists say, "Yeah but he didn't consummate it until she was [blank] years old." Still a very young girl.

[-] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

It's not better when that age was 9.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Yeah she was actually 6 when they got married, but then he waited until she was 9 before he raped her

And they say chivalry is dead

[-] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

To be fair it really was a different time where raping your female-human cattle was perceived as a mans natural right and normal.

That we used to be savages and rape anyone is not as fucked up as it is simply a brutal part of nature, bonobos, sea lions and African lions to name a few that rape their own offspring

But like i said. It WAS a different time for humans, we have come a long way since. That some of us modern human beings can think about those savages and then decide to idolize them like they where the epitome of perfection… Thats is actually completely fucked up and sick.
