@MMS21 @dj Embarrassment? You're the one reading pedophilia into things where it isn't even implied, offering an insight into your own mind.

There are plenty of things to criticize the Old Testament for, including slavery (which, yes, almost certainly included rape). Exodus 21:7-10 makes it clear that women (and men, incidentally) could be sold as slaves, and women could be returned if they were not "pleasing" to their master. However, age is never mentioned.

The New Testament clearly condemns sexual immorality, almost constantly, and Jesus himself defends children (remember the millstone statement).

On the other hand, how old was Aisha when Mohammed raped her?
