Let it be known that IndyCoug doesn't see anything inherently immoral in people marrying 14 year olds, because that was the average age of marriage 2000 years ago in the Roman Empire.

This isn't what I think. This is what was commonly held as acceptable back then. What my opinion is now (I'M AGAINST IT) is completely and utterly irrelevant as to what society as a whole back then thought about it.

I just want to understand your point.

Your point is that marrying 14 year olds 150 years ago was OK?

Now you explain your logic in defense of marrying 14 year old girls 150 years ago.

I didn't say it wasn't wrong. I said I'm not sure. The culture was different back then. People got married young. I'm not defending or supporting it 150 years ago. I'm saying that I'm not sure.

On one hand, God made us and in many societies when a girl menustrates she's considered a woman and is eligble. On the other hand, in 2007, that just seems kinda icky.

So that's my final answer: At this time I'm note sure.

Sorry I didn't phrase my question properly.

Why do you feel like it's OK to leave the door open? I guess you sort of answered that, but I disagree with you.

I haven't been making reference to events 150 years ago. I'm saying that at some point in the past essentially EVERYONE thought it was OK. What I think is irrelevant as far as that goes.

It's not a defense. It's me saying that I don't know the answer to that question. Want me to make up an answer so you have some closure? Too bad. I'll think about it. Maybe I'll arrive at a conclusion, maybe I won't.

I want to know what you think about 150 years ago.

I know what you think about 2007, and I know what you think about 1 AD.

Why is your opinion irrelevant? Does it become moral if society accepts it? Does that mean slavery was moral because it was accepted by almost everyone in the Americas for so long?
