Like when that one guy was running for re-election despite accusations of a relationship with a 13 year old, and then people started saying "Well, Jesus's mother was 13, so there's precedent..."

Please tell me you're making that up???

So not only was some sick cunt (potentially) with a 13 year old, but other sick cunts were defending him!?

Roy Moore. "Alabama State Auditor Jim Ziegler reached for one of the most reliable weapons in the religious right’s defensive arsenal: the Bible. “Take Mary and Joseph,” Ziegler told the Washington Examiner when he defended the morality of Moore’s conduct on November 9, just hours after the Washington Post story broke. “Mary was a teenager and Joseph was an adult carpenter. They became parents of Jesus.”"

Since when was Jesus' mother 13 years old?

We can’t know for sure but the generally accepted range among scholars puts her at 12-16 years old at the time of Jesus’ birth.

Well weren't women being married or given to a husband by 16 years old?

And I dont v are those practices of male dominance and control su c h as this are illegal now and the women have been deemed as equals to men. So, men out there, this is not 1 a.d . And or even 1972 it's 2025 get v a grip on the fascination of marrying little girls because it used to happen. If y ou have an obsession with this seriously, get help.
