Whatever reason some people are attracted to children, is hard wired into them. It shouldn't be a surprise anymore that some percent of people are like this. That's why I would never allow my daughter to be in the room alone with another adult man. You just can't trust people.

I like hwere your head is at but I think God can take the blame on that one, who did so without Mary's prior consent.

You bet she gave consent to Joseph, she even lied and said she was impregnated by an angel to her parents when she had to explain the result. To someone today that would be laughed off and sent to court, but at the time they ran with it... simpler times :D
He was a monster. Yeah, and it's even in a section of the website called "Big Yikes". Ok I get, pedophilia == bad. But my, aren't we being slowly trained to be hapless outrage porn junkies these days, by the continual barrage of manipulative trigger-articles like these.
I make the claim that rational thought evaporates completely when sex and/or sexuality in any form is the basis of public discourse.

"And Mary said, “Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord; let it be to me according to your word.” And the angel departed from her." - Luke 1:38 She gave her consent.
It seems like the angel tells her in Luke 1:31 that it's happening whether she wants it to or not > "You will conceive and give birth to a son, and you are to call him Jesus" It's nice that she accepts it afterwards, but that's definitely not how consent works, and it doesn't seem like she was given any other option Edit: I saw your other comment saying "there's other evidence of god respecting free will and he proba…
It's like when a father tells his daughter she'll get married and have three sweet little children. That doesn't mean it's immediately set in stone and she's forced to.

The problem is that people still can't detach age of consent from pedophilia. Being a pedophile is about being attracted to kids, meaning you get aroused from the bodily characteristics of prepubescent people. If you are attracted to a 13yo that looks like a 18yo then you aren't a pedophile, but if you are attracted to a 13yo who looks like a 13yo you might very well be. Having said that, you still should be banned f…
You're right up until your last sentence, which is totally wrong and illustrates another important thing people misunderstand - there is a difference between a pedophile and child molester. The age of consent is about consenting to sexual activity. A pedophile is someone who feels attraction. If you're a pedophile, that is, you feel attraction to young children, but you seek out treatment and never act on it, then yo…

Good catch, problem is what are the citations: [42] https://taz.de/Missbrauch-und-Missachtung/!5823374/ [43] Joe Humphreys (11 December 2021). "How Erwin Schrödinger indulged his 'Lolita complex' in Ireland". The Irish Times. [44] staff (January 2022). "Turns Out Schrödinger, the Father of Quantum Physics, Was a Pedophile". Futurism. Retrieved 14 January 2022. [45] Johnson, Lacy M. (2 August 2021). "Chanda Prescod-We…
Yes, many of them go back to the same primary source. But the [42] you mention seems entirely on point, eg, with 'That was a mistake, Humphreys admitted three weeks ago: "The evidence was obvious," he wrote. "Schrödinger was a serial abuser." ' That's certainly enough to suspect that this is not meant to interpret a cultural difference in the age of consent as pedophilia, but is actually the "the evilness of a terrib…
Great claims require, great evidence, especially on such a delicate topic. If a household scientific name will be judged as pedophile, so be it! But please, get historians and primary source evidence; not a newspaper article behind a paywal.
The sentence you quote is from Joe Humphreys[1] a journalist for the Irish Times itself. I could not find any biography or peer reviews work on Schrodinger by him[1]. Again it is not about whether it is not true or not. The whole article makes a lot of claims which touch very sensitive topics that should be accurately and precisely described with at least mention of original sources or authorities. Unfortunately it seems we have Joe Humphreys' word :(

But he was god… could she really be in the position to refuse? It’s like Monica and Bill Clinton… a poor intern with a powerful president! That is why it is usually forbidden for a person in power to hit on an underling!
As I said below, a cursory look at Christianity teaches the God respects human free will. It's partly why so much evil is in the world. If Mary had refused (which she could have), he would have respected that decision. The Jewish people would have needed to wait longer for their messiah, and it might not be the year 2022 right now. Also, God is not a human, and is not subject to the human weakness that a position in…
