Dude, Mary was between 12 and 16 when she gave birth to Jesus. And don’t get me started on the story of Lot and his daughters in the Old Testament.

Between OP and the comments, what a stupid fucking post…

    It's almost like all abrahamic religions are bad...

    I mean according to the story told to the followers. It's a lot better imo than in Islam where Aisha was six at the time of the marriage and nine when they had sex...

    Then again Mary is a character in both religions' stories

    A lot better in reality or in storytelling?

    Modern translations of the Bible try to soften culturally unacceptable practices in the present day like pedophilia and rape (especially in the old testament).

    A lot better in that Mary was older than Aisha was at the time of marriage or sex

    "Mary was teenager", conservatives defending child rapist republicans, probably actually

    Exactly. Racist Americans love to act like they’re so much more civilized than everyone in the Middle East and it’s like - I’m sorry have you been to Alabama? The President himself was best friends with the most notorious child rapist in modern history.

    Oh but the brown people are so uncivilized!
