Do you have evidence that in biblical times it was common for 50 year old men to marry 6 year old kids?
Was there law against it? No, there was no law against a pre-pubescent girl being married off. The Bible forbids lust (Matthew 5:28). However, lust is allowable within marriage (Proverbs 5:19). There seems to be no explicit statement of age of consent in the Bible. Hence, if an adult male wanted to marry a 10-year-old girl and also engage in sexual intercourse with that girl, there was nothing to condemn or stop it. As for the specific instance of 50 year old men and girls, if I ever make a specific claim about this, and how common it was, then be sure and raise it again.
Tell me what is it about this Islamic ideology that compels supposed non-believing skeptics like yourself to handle it with kid gloves or defend it vigorously ?
I was not defending Islam (although in the case of his wife Aisha, taking all known accounts and records of Aisha's age at marriage, estimates of her age range from nine to 19 and so it is impossible to know with any certainty how old she was.) I was stating historical truths about marriage in Biblical times by way of comparison. Can you disprove what I have stated, factually speaking?
I've noticed this about you before FilmFlan. I know you're a brainwashed liberal but your inconsistency is baffling.
Seem like you're one step away from taking your shahada.

A personal attack is not an argument. But I forgive you for you know not what you do.
