Adam and Eve had other children besides Cain and Abel.

I agree with this. A lot of sex offense cases are b.s. The age of consent ought to be 13 like it is in Spain.

Back during the Boston witch-hunts of the late 70s (which NAMBLA formed because of), a judge dismissed most of the charges against the defendants, and said "Nobody should fear going to prison because of consensual sex with a teenager." If a judge said that today, he'd be the object of a lynching party emceed by Bill O'Reilly. But it was common sense then, and it's common sense now. (Actually, I should say good sense. If it were common, everyone would have it.)

Good. Why would it be higher for boys though?

I just thought of something to all of you who firmly believe in god. Now aren't you guys always saying "it's gods plan?" Regardless if someone dies, your own life course, etc. So if that's true, don't you think it'd be gods plan for some people to be heterosexual & some to be homosexual? If it's really gods plan for whatever happens in your life, I would assume that would mean you would be forgiving of every disaster, murder, loser in life, etc. Someone is poor? Well then instead of tyrading that they're a loser & milking the system, really you should accept that it's gods plan for them to be poor. Same w/people who murder or rape others: it's gods plan. I'm always hearing how everyones life is not their own life, its gods. So, then accept it.

This is another step, termed progressive, that the leftists are taking to crumble the moral fabric of society. They have already legitimized adultery, pre-marital sex, divorce, abortion, recreational drug use, and so on.

Give people an inch and they will want a foot. The next thing that the leftist judges and self-described progressives will push on society is legalizing adult-child relationships, what we currently define as statutory rape.

Don't think there is such a movement out there? Think again. It is called NAMBLA, standing for the North American Man-Boy Love Association.
http://www.traditionalvalues.org/pdf_files/NAMBLASexLiberation.pdf

Does anybody else find this so-called association highly putrid and absurdly beyond the limits of decency? Does anybody care?

Go ahead, destroy the sanctity of marriage, break down the family unit, ruin the moral fabric of society. NAMBLA and other such extremist movements will find their way to the mainstream, as homosexuality seems to have become mainstream in these modern times.
LMAO, i cant even get mad at this, hah

God gave us all free will so not everything that occurs is God's plan. It is not God's will for any of us to suffer pain, hardships or death. Why do we have pain, hardships, trials, tribulations and death? It's because of sin. Sin is a condition that we ALL have, whether we choose to admit it or not. Sin ultimately leads to eternal death. BUT, there is good news, Jesus paid the price for our sins at the cross. All He asks is that we repent (turn from) our sins and accept His FREE gift of salvation. He knows that we struggle with sin and He will help us overcome our sin and weaknesses if we allow Him to.

Famous film from the 50s. Rock around the clock came from that movie. There were many others back then with the same theme.

The more things change, the more they stay the same. The difference back then was that most "immoral" things weren't talked about and kept behind closed doors. I just turned 60 this year.

So if god gave everyone free will, isn't it to say that homosexuals should have free will to marry as well? And what you said about it not being gods will to have pain or suffering, that is very unusual that you said that because I have heard the exact opposite from many devout followers.

I was thinking about the same thing, that bad things were done back then but never talked about. Case in point: in my neighborhood when I was growing up, my neighbor was a flat out child molester. He said or did things to me, my sister & at least one or 2 other girls at that time. No, no rape or anything like that, but just vile things. I'm almost positive that my parents found out about it but nothing was done because..well, they just didn't do things like that back then. I just talked to my sister about it a month ago, to see if she remembered any of it. She did, I do & I would love to get that ass in jail because I'm sure he's never stopped, he's probably still a dirty old man.
