What pedophiles are there in religious texts?

0

The problem with classifying many people in these texts as pedophiles is that women tended to be “baby-ready” at a much earlier age than now. Many girls were married and pregnant by the time they were 13 or 14. It is only much more recently that we started to classify people who engage with young girls as pedophiles. Everything must be taken in context. It was culturally acceptable all around the world, in all religious, for girls to be wives and mothers. As much as I would like to be able to use pedophilia as an argument against many religions, it would be an unreasonable argument.
