-in old times, you started working as soon as you could walk. there were no saturday morning cartoons.
-women got pregnant as soon as it was possible.
-ask yourself-- was marrying pubescent girls a common practice in that place at that time? or was he doing this on his own?
-think of other milennia-old practices like the jewish one of declaring a boy to be a man at 13. sure does that not apply today, does it? a full course of education takes something like 20 years these days.
it's a bit absurd to apply modern standards to the historical past, especially without making an attempt to understand what was going on back then.
just sayin'

This is all true !@#%#, very much so. However, go to a muslim nation and speak the FACT that Mohammed stuck his cock into a 12 year old and see if you won't get killed for it.
Like I said, my personal BS is not the issue. I declared that none of this mindless violence and hate and aggression and castigation will stop until humanity as a whole sees the lie of "true" religions and understand that , like the freemasons teach, all religions, when practiced honestly and faithfully, preach the same things and guide a person towards the same enlightenments.
