I'll give you that. yet, I'd have to say I don't think that it makes it possible for a 9 year old to be psychologically or physically ready for sex.

yeah, that's cool. i'm not even saying it shouldn't sound weird, just pointing out where people are missing the cultural aspect of it.

I wouldn't call Mohammad a pedophile though, as it was a cultural practice and not a sexual compulsion toward children that was behind the marriage. That he had so many other wives who weren't children should attest to that.

agreed.

oh please. the moment you insult religion you know, without a doubt, that adherents to that religion will be offended. but you didn't stop there, and continue to one-up yourself by insulted prophets. a while back you (rightly) mentioned that bahnchud was extremely lewd as an insult but somehow you don't seem to have that kind of sensitivity when you speak to people of their religions, which is altogether much more closer to the hearts of the adherents than even blood relations.
don't play double standards game with me. we theists [b]invented
double standards! 😂

and again, syaing you're acting foolish is not really an insult. i could always rephrase that as "you're a phucking (fill-in-the-blank)" and now that'd be insulting. and that's exactly why i didn't use it.

1) human body and mind has the ability to adapt to even the hardest of conditions. which is a fact.
2) people have matured, both mentally and physically, at different rates at different times and cultures because of the lifestyles and conditions. which is a fact.
3) the longer the time spent in hard conditions the more we get to adapt. what would be unsurvivable conditions for most people from any other part of the world at any other time period, was home to the semitic people for MILLENIAS.
4) girls were wed in those days at 8-10 years of age due because life expectancy was 30-40 years. its a fact. it doesn't mean pedophilia as we take it today and pedophila itself is subjective. which is also a fact.

think about it: Charlie Chaplain was 30 when he married his first wife who was 16 (and that was pretty common at the time). was that pedophilia? in japan even today 14 is a legal age for girls. now you can argue all your want for it or against it, but in that culture for whatever reason they consider a girl not only physically mature but emotionally mature to handle life. its their culture. but somehow, muhammed becomes a pedophile for marrying a nine year old in his culture fourteen centuries ago because at the tme a girl was considered just as mature and developed as a 14 year old girl is in Japan in the 21st century.

and lastly, i didn't say them not dying was the proof. the proof was that most girls were considered healthy and ready to give birth back then. same way people consider 14 year old girls mature enough in japan today. you see what you're missing?

CULTURAL CONTEXT.

no, you just dont (actually, refuse to) understand how great a role millenias of a particular life style plays in development of the human body and brain. period.

still, thank you for being civil with this post. i may not agree with you but arguments to me are ways to see how your views hold up against those of others. and a chance to learn new things. oh and i probably offended you with some of my comments, as well. my apologizies too.

~Sado [/B]

that is the adherants problem. if they are delusional enough to be unable to tell the difference between them and a philosophy or them and a human who lived over a millienia ago, then i cant help them. how can a person whose been dead for over a millenia be close to you? only through delusions i assume

1. can u adapt to living without air? no u cant

2. no, physical maturation depends on genes, enviornmental factors can force unnatural change but no1 can turn a 9 year old into a sexual human. its forced on them and it has consequences.

3. the more we learn to GET BY, it has nothing to do with age, you can me made to live in a desert if you were taken there at birth. but just like the semetic people, your mortality rate wud go up insanely, simply because your body wasnt meant to live in those conditions.

4. there may be grey areas in pedophelia, but sum1 over 40 marrying a nine year old is black and white. i dont care which age it was, pedphelia is pedophelia just like child abuse is child abuse.

japan is wrong for allowing it and it has a culture of pedophelia in its past. 16 year old is a gray area, 9 year old isnt, nuthing non pathological can make a sexual being out of a nine year old.

no they werent, norms=/= health. MEDICALLY its proven that 9 year old are NOT ready for sex or childbirth, stop debating this.

as for not understanding the role of age, im sorry, but u dont know what you are talking about. i understand evolution and genetics better than you. stop arguing about things u knot nothing about.

this post is full of hilarity.

i dont CARE what youve said, empericism and observation bot overwhelmingly support the fact that anecdotes<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<accepted/tested psychology {emperical research}. this also shows me that you know NUTHING WHATSOEVER about logic or science.

please dont give me a bullshit site, i cud just start posting links to racist websites, but that wudnt make racism right wud it? hitting is wrong, a violation of rights, and simply evil, stop blabbering and foaming.

ive given you object evidence and lots of it. thats called proof, either reply to it or shut up and concede

i dont care about your rationalisations. you refuse to hold gods by the morals you hold men. that becomes a copout then and you can simply say "it wasnt evi" when KILLING INNOCENT CHILDREN wud be a textbook example of an evil act. it was evil, and u fail to prove otherwise.

god made man and all things that go with him, he also did acts to men and to his sentient creation which were evil, so no, god made evil and made innocents to be put in it to suffer from it and be corrupted by it. i see no reasonable reply from u on this.

MY science???? 😆 . there is only THE science and it tells me that circumcision has historically been practices so that children will feel less of an urge to masturbate which is owing to the fact that the skin of the genitals with the greatest number of sensitive nerve endings is removed, which leads to less sexual pleasure on top of other complications like the penis being unable to reach proper erection due to skin stretching and the sensitie glans becoming caratenised due to there being no protective foreskin. its a myth that it keeps you cleaner, if washed well, there are no problems of hygiene with an uncircumcised penis. this shows me that u get all urt information from relegius propagandist sources.

your confusing adultery with fornication. u can fornicate and be commited to one sexual partner. and in that great rant you fail to justify why its PUNISHABLE. {not to mention, showing rampant ignorance of birth control or the fact that single parents can raise psychologically sound children. and 70% of the AIDS in africa is spread INSIDE marriage genius}. things CAN be bad for u and ull suffer the consequences but what the HECK does punishing you on top of it do for you. how is THAT justified. as i said, EVIL.

bull. then why does hell exist? 😛

lmao, at you claiming to pwn any1

its not a technicality. its a flaw in your argument. pedophelic JUSTIFICATION is a philosophy of many pedophiles. you dont respect it. hence proving that not all philosophies deserve respect. i.e. i see no reason to respect yours

false claim. falsified many times in the past few days already

nope, its disproven and i have posted why with material from me and other to which you are unable to reply. ur argument remains circular

nope i know enough about it as i know enough about ur delusions. u r unable to reply again.

false. why do so many sects and so many internal arguments still exist then? thats direct evidence against ur claim.

that doesnt justify its lack of lucidity now does it. {your fond of changing the subtext and not answering questions}

miracles cant be explained because they dont EXIST!

read above. its a god of gaps argument.

that is the adherants problem. if they are delusional enough to be unable to tell the difference between them and a philosophy or them and a human who lived over a millienia ago, then i cant help them. how can a person whose been dead for over a millenia be close to you? only through delusions i assume

no, its not. you being rude has nothing to do with their belief. you just need to get you act together. period. and the fact that you insist that no one can love someone who died 1000 years before them shows how close minded you are when it comes to religion. heck, you're missing out on the fundamentals here 😂

1. can u adapt to living without air? no u cant

air is vital for survival and is not a variable. social conditions are variables. so are life styles. fail.

2. no, physical maturation depends on genes, enviornmental factors can force unnatural change but no1 can turn a 9 year old into a sexual human. its forced on them and it has consequences.

you answered it yourself: genes
unnatural from todays standards and from another cultural point of view. at the tme it was the norm.

3. the more we learn to GET BY, it has nothing to do with age, you can me made to live in a desert if you were taken there at birth. but just like the semetic people, your mortality rate wud go up insanely, simply because your body wasnt meant to live in those conditions.

provided I am an outsider to that culture. just because i was taken there as a baby doesn't make me used to it. but living there for 1000's of years, however, does. BIG DIFFERENCE. same way arabs have serious troubles when they go to switzerland and other cold places because after thousands of years of living in the desert life, there bodies aren't used to that kind of cold. and another example: the native indians were practically destroyed when they were introduced to alcohol by the settlers. why? because after millenias living an alcohol-free life, there system had extremely weak defenses against it.
once again, you show a complete failure to understand "life styles".

4. there may be grey areas in pedophelia, but sum1 over 40 marrying a nine year old is black and white. i dont care which age it was, pedphelia is pedophelia just like child abuse is child abuse.

no. its not pedophilia because:
1) he had other wives
2) people in his culture married girls at the age
more fail.

japan is wrong for allowing it and it has a culture of pedophelia in its past. 16 year old is a gray area, 9 year old isnt, nuthing non pathological can make a sexual being out of a nine year old.

so now you decide what pedophilia is? got news for you: entire nations and cultures don't base their ideas of right and wrong on the opinions of an opinionated, spiteful, ex-muslim, 21 year old who takes himself too seriously.

no they werent, norms=/= health. MEDICALLY its proven that 9 year old are NOT ready for sex or childbirth, stop debating this.

medically proven today to not work on the bodies of girls today. not back then. understand that things were different 14 centuries ago.

i understand evolution and genetics better than you. stop arguing about things u knot nothing about.

i doubt it unless you prove it. just cuz you visit wiki doesn't make you an expert on the subject anymore than it does me. you're the guy drawing an analogy between human adaptibility to social changes and the dependence of life on oxygen.

secondly, you seem to be talking like its a fact. do you have any proof that dolls were only made for little girls and relatively older girls didn't play with them?

Bruv I used the word adult I didnt use the word girl. I know that dolls werent made for adults because there are no examples of Aisha playing with dolls when she was an adult and any other of Mohammeds wives.

Originally posted by Sado22

comicbooks and videogames were invented for kids, were something that ONLY kids played with for the longest time until finally older people began picking them as well and now everyone's playing them. is that so impossible that an older girl couldn't play with dolls in a time when there was nothing for a woman to do besides marry, have children and cook?

Sorry mate I used the word adult.

Originally posted by Sado22

but, oh lord, aisha played with dolls so she MUST be immature and a naive little girl despite how girls at her age were maturing faster...to the pont that they were giving birth at the age of 10. you're [b]still
thinking from 21st century prespectives.[/B]

No actually im not im looking at the culture of the arabs at that time and in those days adults didnt play with dolls children did.

Originally posted by Sado22

"dolls are for little girls, therefor aisha was a little girl, mentally and phsyically." you're whole argument is rooted in this claim, a claim that's a guess and based on what you see around you today. its not a historical fact unless i see evidence of it. also i need to see this hadith.

I was a muslim for six years and I heard about on numerous ocassions interestingy enough I had no problem finding it on the web, the thing is you say that you've done reaserach but never heard of it, sorry mate thats not impressive at all. In fact I could probably go into a mosque rioght now and somebody could probably tell me about it.

http://www.usc.edu/schools/college/crcc/engagement/resources/texts/muslim/hadith/bukhari/073.sbt.html

Translation of Sahih Bukhari, Book 73:
Good Manners and Form (Al-Adab)

Volume 8, Book 73, Number 151:
Narrated 'Aisha:

I used to play with the dolls in the presence of the Prophet, and my girl friends also used to play with me. When Allah's Apostle used to enter (my dwelling place) they used to hide themselves, but the Prophet would call them to join and play with me. (The playing with the dolls and similar images is forbidden, but it was allowed for 'Aisha at that time, as she was a little girl, not yet reached the age of puberty.) (Fateh-al-Bari page 143, Vol.13)

No i didnt I already explained that its common practice in our culture for adults to play computer games and read comics....or alot of adults do, its not common practice for adult to play with dolls in arab times.

the fundamentals are stupid, thats whats proven.

so you accept that there are things humans cant adapt to. cool.

u dont understand genetics. major changes in sexual maturation dont coome about in 1.5 millenium, looking at the selective pressures.

this is not due to genes, this is due to conditioning and nurture. what you are referring to is presence of anitibodies and memory cells in the immune system, different ball game from genetics and sexual maturation.

culture doesnt matter, married people who take advantage of 9 year olds are still pedophiles. muhammad was a pedophile.

i dont, medicine and tested psychology does. 9 year olds are not sexual beings.

9 year olds werent sexual beings 1400 years ago, if u understood genetics and sexual pressures, ud know this.

i have an undergrad knowledge of genetics.

Mind if I ask what you were addressing here? I looked at the quoted post, but I just couldn't think of where antibodies and memory cells fit in.

If God knew that Satan would rebel and Adam and Eve would sin, why did He create?

Everyone needs a hobby.

the fundamentals are stupid, thats whats proven.

this does squat in giving you an excuse for being rude. i find arguing with you extremely annoying and redundant. i hate people who make me repeat myself. i particularly hate egocentric, self-righteous people who go around expecting everyone to think and behave like them. i also don't like people tellig me something is a fact when they aren't giving me the required evidence. and i detest double-standards of any kind which your showing in being sensitive about a swear word that's literally lost all weightage in terms of context but feel its okay to insult christians and muslims (people who happen to make up at least 40% of the world populaton btw). but most of all i hate people who needlessly insult religions. you're guilty of all this and more. but i'm still keeping myself in line.

so, please, spare me the lame excuses.

u dont understand genetics. major changes in sexual maturation dont coome about in 1.5 millenium, looking at the selective pressures.

no one's talkinga about 1.5 millenium. we're talking about people who've been there for several of them. egypt alone has a recorded history of 6 millenias. these guys have been around for a very, very long time...and living that kind of lifestyle for as long.

this is not due to genes, this is due to conditioning and nurture. what you are referring to is presence of anitibodies and memory cells in the immune system, different ball game from genetics and sexual maturation.

you seem to deliberately dodge around the issue about where these studies that you're so fond of bringing up were carried out. time period and locaton is essential in the study of human beings and their development...a point you're continuously missing and refusing to acknowledge. just because a study carried out on one portion of human civilization and in 21st century gives statistic doesn't mean they apply to people several centuries before and in different part of the world. human phsyiology is different from time to time and place to place.
to deny this is stupidity.
we all know that child labor is bad. it is. but kids were doing it, doing it before that and centuries before that were even fighting in wars at the age of 13 or even lesser. the fact remains that children going to war is not physiologically a +ve things, but at the same time, fact also remains that kids did it, could do it and probably still can (some pathan children in the run-down areas, for example, are good shooters of the rifle before they even hit 13). that's where human adaptability comes in...the bit you're refusing to acknowledge.
also, not to mention that arabs living 1400 years ago had no way of knowing this. same way people as late a few centures ago didn't know that marriage to closer family relatives is bad. like i've been saying for quite a while: culture makes all the difference. put your personal agendas aside for a change and just read waht the other person is saying.
and AGAIN, its not like illiterate arabs sitting 1400 years in the middle of a desert were supposed to know that. heck, until a few centuries ago people were still going around thinking that the woman is responsible for the sex of the child and not the man.

culture. makes all the difference.

culture doesnt matter

...about the whole reason why some people are telling me to stop bothering with you 🙄

married people who take advantage of 9 year olds are still pedophiles. muhammad was a pedophile.

culture makes all the difference. you're just being stubborn.
i find it funny that ex-muslims seem to be more fiesty in such debates while regular agnostics and atheists are calmer, more open to ideas and on the whole more aware of things. personal agendas getting the better of you? 😂

i dont, medicine and tested psychology does. 9 year olds are not sexual beings. 9 year olds werent sexual beings 1400 years ago, if u understood genetics and sexual pressures, ud know this.

proof.
not to mention:
1) there's no way arabs would've known this 1400 years ago and good luck convincing people they did
2) the entire issue of culture and life style that you deliberately pretend doesn't exist.
3) the fact the people have physiological weaknesses and strengths based on lifestyles they've had, especialy for how long they've had it

i have an undergrad knowledge of genetics.

i.e. you took a science course in undergrad and are no authority.

phuck undergrad. i took a course in arts history, arabic, psychology, philosophy, economics, calculus, physics, stats, took several courses of linguistics...and i'm no authority on any of it. heck, i'm not an authority on even english literature which was my major.

"Then He will also say to those on the left hand, Depart from Me, you cursed, into the everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels:"
Matthew 25:41

* hell is created for satan and his angels (demons)... the only time a person would be sent there if he blatantly and willfully disobeys/rejects God and His teachings... but since He desires all men to be saved, He forgives:

"If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."
I John 1:9

"Blessed are those whose lawless deeds are forgiven, And whose sins are covered;
Blessed is the man to whom the Lord shall not impute sin."
Romans 4:7-8

its not a technicality. its a flaw in your argument. pedophelic JUSTIFICATION is a philosophy of many pedophiles. you dont respect it.

* if you are talking about pedophiles... hence, pedophilia is an act, NOT a belief... your argument is the one which is flawed...

Originally posted by leonheartmm
hence proving that not all philosophies deserve respect. i.e. i see no reason to respect yours

* because of pedophilia? how low can you get? 🙄

false claim. falsified many times in the past few days already

* falsified by persons like you, care to listen to explanations? nope... you are already accepted the falsifications as facts...

Originally posted by leonheartmm
nope, its disproven and i have posted why with material from me and other to which you are unable to reply. ur argument remains circular

* unable to reply?

Is Jesus equal to or lesser than?

JOH 10:30 I and my Father are one.

JOH 14:28 Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again unto you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I.

* in John 10:30, context implies Jesus said He is also a God like the Father, which is true according to the Bible, as supported by other verses:

"Who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God,"
Philippians 2:6

* the Father and Christ are equal in form... but in greatness, and also because Christ was manifested in the flesh, the Father is greater than Christ, in fact, Christ was made a little lower than angels:

"You have made him a little lower than the angels; You have crowned him with glory and honor, And set him over the works of Your hands."
Hebrews 2:7

* so John 10:30 and John 14:28 are not contradictory verses...

Snakes, while built low, do not eat dirt

GEN 3:14 And the LORD God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life:

* God did not curse an ordinary snake/serpent... it was satan:

"So the great dragon was cast out, that serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world; he was cast to the earth, and his angels were cast out with him."
Revelation 12:9

Ascend to heaven

"And Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven." (2KI 2:11)

"No man hath ascended up to heaven but he that came down from heaven, ... the Son of Man." (JOH 3:13)

* while it was recorded that prophet Elijah was taken to heaven by a whirlwind, Jesus is speaking of a different heaven... in the letter of Saint Paul, it was revealed that:

"I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago--whether in the body I do not know, or whether out of the body I do not know, God knows--such a one was caught up to the third heaven.
How he was caught up into Paradise and heard inexpressible words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter."
II Corinthians 12:2, 4

* there is a third heaven - the Paradise - where the kingdom of God is, and is the one Jesus was talking about...

* all of these are just examples of how i can somehow manage to explain to you the so-called "contradictions" of the Bible... so, am i unable to reply? nope... just like i said, it is really unnecessary for me to explain it to you knowing that you will not accept it...

nope i know enough about it as i know enough about ur delusions. u r unable to reply again.

* what you know is not enough...

false. why do so many sects and so many internal arguments still exist then? thats direct evidence against ur claim.

"Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth."
II Timothy 2:15

* because they are false prophets who do not know how to rightly divide the word of truth... when it comes to religion, faith, etc., the basis is the Scriptures... those who are not in accordance with what was written are fraud...

that doesnt justify its lack of lucidity now does it. {your fond of changing the subtext and not answering questions}

* oh yes, it does justify:

"And He said to them, To you it has been given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God; but to those who are outside, all things come in parables,"
Mark 4:11

read above. its a god of gaps argument.

* because you can't explain something, does not mean it does not exist... science cannot explain everything... you need to accept that... 😉

Sounds like the mother who makes her kids sick and then makes them better or the father that is hardly home when he is the family worships him. Kind of SICK if you ask me!

Omniscience is not something that is within our ability to understand and the same thing goes for anything that is infinite. To assume that God created a perfect free will in creatures that he said he would make in his image, and then knew everything that they would do is strange to me. There's no reason to think that God is powerless over how much he knows about any specific thing. If he is omnipotent then he has power over what he knows and doesn't know. The situation with the angels may have been his first time giving a will similar to his to a creation of his.

An infinite power that does as it pleases set all of this in motion and I doubt that we have what it takes to understand the motivation to do that much further than, it wanted to love truly and to be loved truly. True love is chosen not forced/preordained.

Who bumped this crap?

The entire premise of "Here's a question nobody asked or probably cares about, but I'm going to enlighten all of you by giving you my answer" is pretentious and dumb.

Re: If God knew that Satan would rebel and Adam and Eve would sin, why did He create?

This is a two-part question. The first part is “Did God know Satan would rebel and Adam and Eve would sin?”

According to the Bible, yes, he did know it.

“Why did God create Satan and Adam and Eve knowing ahead of time they were going to sin?”

According to the Bible, Satan clearly had free will, and the most viable solution I can find to this problem is that God knowledge is a function of free will.

Meaning that he has foreseen both the scenario where Satan would sin and the scenario where he wouldn't sin. What scenario will play out depends on Satan.

But again, it's definition dependent. As soon as you define your questions properly you'd probably be able to answer them more specifically.

I don't get what you're reffering to, I'm guessing maybe my post?
