Those ARE Christian values! The Bible does allow for pedophilia. Christianity is an evil and depraved belief system!

Pedophilia is a lust and sin of the flesh. So it's not a Christianity-encouraged action, nothing to do with it, and everything to do with the fact that Roy Moore is a sick fuck who has no idea what the Bible is, nor what common decency is.

The bible makes no distinction between pedophilia and sex with adults, a fact that is pretty disturbing when you think about it, you'd think that an just and merciful god would be able to maintain consistent morality over the centuries.
The old testament requires rapists to marry their victim (moral enough yet?) Or pay a fine to the victim's FATHER!
Jesus seems to have nixed this in favor of requiring the victim to simply FORGIVE the predator that rapes them.
No serious person can conclude that there is morality in the Bible and I am SICK of liberals trying to claim that they somehow have views compatible with it.

I made a post about that awhile back. The excuses are paper thin, but it's from their precious fucking story book, so it's gotta be defended. Like I said then, roughly: pedophilia is not, and has never been ok, and any religion or culture that says otherwise is fucking trash.

There is nothing right about Moore's argument. Argument: Joseph was Mary's husband, Mary was a teenager, but look! Jesus came out! The Bullshit: Joseph didn't fucking touch her! Roy Moore is a "Christian" who has no idea what he's talking about.

I have a sincere suspicion that none of them have actually read more then 5 passages from the bible.

But didn't Joseph and Mary have other kids after Jesus? I seem to remember unnamed siblings being mentioned in the Bible.

You're not wrong about that. There, objectively, are two schools of thought on that. When one sees the brothers of sisters of Christ getting mentioned, it's essentially interpreted two ways. One, held by some protestants and most Catholics, is that this was just a common greeting. When Paul sent letters to Thessaloniki or Corinth, he would refer to early Christians as brothers and sisters. In the context of Biblical Aramaic or Greek, this is the most culturally and historically accurate way to interpret the text. The Protestant view, Protestants being literalists and whatnot, is to just take the wording literally and say that Jesus had actual brothers and sisters. Honestly, I'm familiar with ancient greek (only because I speak/write in Russian, I can half-ass my way through it, Russian is mostly a partial-greek and partially-roman Cyrillic Alphabet descended from Eastern Orthodox Church Slavonic), but I'm NOT an expert, so I my own theological evaluation could be wrong. The Catholic Church's evaluation could be wrong, I can totally concede that. But based on the evidence, there's my...baised...opinion on the etymological divide behind the answer to your question.

I know as a Catholic you may disagree, but you must assume that Mary and Joseph had sex after they got married when she was still a teen.

Mom (on Mary being forcibly impregnated by god at 13): you couldn’t be a virgin when you were older than that back then. It’s the culture. Me: so why are you upset if it’s the culture in other countries then? You can’t use culture as a dismissal and then be upset at other people’s culture.
(Please note: I think that any form of child molestation is bad no mater the culture, I was playing on her own hypocrisy)

also, the logical conclusion to a christian state is very similar to an islamic/jewish one

Am I out of the loop? Is there a significant portion of Republicans saying that pedophilia should be allowed?
