Sex on sabbath (day of worship and prayer) is out Interfaith marriage is out Menstural sex is out Premarital sex is out Adultery is out Incest is out Bestiality is out Rape is a crime against the property of the husband or father of the victim Slavery is OK, and there is no penalty to raping a slave
Nothing on sex with children, apparently kiddie raping wasn't worth mentioning Biblically speaking, Mohammed did wrong by Aisha only in that she was his neice, her being raped since she was six years old was of no moral issue.
Take that as you will, God's not against short eyed nonces doing the diddly so long as they abide by his other rules.
No he didn't, he died a Virgin, as did his disciples, he thought the end times were coming within one or two decades, so he was just focused on spiritual purity, which meant throwing away everything of the earth, including one's own people, and even ones own family.
That's why his advice was so bad, its only bad if you dont think he beleved that he was living in the last days.
The Christian religion was never meant to be anything more than a short lived doomsday cult, the Christians could afford to do stuff that would get themselves killed, and die without leaving any children behind, the end was approaching fast, and so nothing mattered except being pure enough to get into paradise once kingdom come.
So for most of Christian history, the way things were run was based around keeping the flock ignorant of what their religion's founder was truly teaching, because they needed a functional society that would survive long term, not one that would effectively commit suicide within thirty years.
Thus, the threat of literacy and the widespread availability of the Bible to Christian society, no longer were they to merely receive choice prices of scripture from charismatic preachers chosen by politically savvy leadership.
That was bad because following Jesus led to ruination, however, Christians were smarter than their leaders gave them credit for being, and once they saw how impractical and difficult the words of their savior were, thet decided to modify their understanding of it, and reinterpret the words as of they were not coming from someone who did not intend to ever leave a biological or memetic legacy behind (because they had thought the world was ending soon).
Which meant all the more troublesome bits could be safely ignored because Christians were too sensible to pay attention to them, abd if they had enough sense to do that, surely their lord of lord's and king of kings must not have meant what he had clearly said according to the text, surely he had meant to say sonething different than what he'd been mistaken for saying if one were to be taking him in a literal way.
Nothing more confusing than a text that was biblically inspired, as even in the time it was being put together, there was difficulty in understanding what had been said within by the very people in the process of compiling the book together.
