I asked a question about why the Bible didn't prohibit child marriage among the Jews (and YES, they did practice it), and got a bunch of answers stating that since that happened in Biblical times it was all right! I thought religious people believed in unchanging, eternal standards of morality, so what gives?!? Either child marriage is wrong, or it isn't! If it is wrong TODAY, it was wrong back then, too. If it was RIGHT back then, then it should be allowed today (but of course it ISN'T right... I'm just trying to make a point, here...) Same with slavery; people think it was o.k. for Jews to own slaves way back when, but somehow today it's magically wrong... folks, make up your damn minds!
