Would you ever follow a religion whos founder had intimate relations with a 9 year old?
No, but neither would I a religion with an angry god that is supposed to be benevolent but drowned all its creations including little kids in a fit of rage or because it couldn’t solve its issues with them in any more constructive way. As for the pedophilia bit, I’ll never be a follower of Islam but lets be honest. Back in the middle ages arranged marriages for inheritance, power, or social status to children wasn’t that uncommon in Christianity either. Bianca of Savoy, Duchess of Milan was married aged 13yo (1350), and aged 14yo when she gave birth to her eldest son, Giangaleazzo (1351). St Elizabeth of Portugal was aged 12yo when she was married to King Denis of Portugal and gave birth to three children shortly thereafter. Richard II of England was joined in marriage to young Isabel of France, aged 8 years old.
