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 make a specific claim about this, and how common it was, then be sure and raise it again.

So no evidence. Gotcha.

I was not defending Islam

Actually you were. You jumped into this thread specifically to point out to me how much more reliable the Islamic message is to the bible's. Then you attempted to shamefully justify Muhammad's pedophilic marriage with a straw man by trying to compare it to biblical marriages where girls got married at young ages. When challenged to bring evidence the best you could muster was "well there was no law against it".

A personal attack is not an argument

So why the inconsistency? Why do you as a self professed liberal atheist always try to handle islam with kid gloves? Is your hatred for Christianity that strong that you have to side with a religion so at odds with every principle you pretend as leftist to stand for? To the point where you feel the need to justify its 50 year old founder sleeping with a little girl.
