Well so what? Perhaps I realized stockholm syndrome was a fatal flaw so I changed the scenario in my head. lol Truly I had envisioned random acts of sex, leading to a relationship later in life. So, to refine the point, since as iron sharpens iron, argument sharpens positions, good catch on...

Did I say at any time it was a continuing hostage situation? Maybe you implied that but it wasn't stated. In the relevant scenario the previously underage girl is free to choose to be with the man as an adult. The state would be victimizing her by not allowing her control of her own body. If I...

The only way you can properly explore many of the small differences of a moral question is through a hypothetical. If someone takes something from me, cops arrest him, if I tell them that it's fine, the person can have that thing, then the person isn't guilty of stealing. He is still a theif...

Homosexuality isn't a federally protected class. I would advocate that the civil rights legislation be amended to make homosexuality a protected class, but until it is the 14th amendment doesn't apply. But I should have said family law, not just marriage.

The show is really good at making its viewers horny. I agree. I hope the new red priestes has as many nude scenes as melisandra. They usually die. I'll bet Aria kills the one that paid to have the older actress killed.

So first the man victimised her. Then the state does. Got it. In my hypothetical I purposely left out an ongoing relationship. So if wouldnt be a form of Stockholm syndrome.

No idea. I assume his identity doesn't matter. He might have been a nobody. As for some foreshadowing... Since all the "children of the forest" were just killed, I assume their magic that protects the wall is gone too. When John left Castle Black, did you catch what he said to the new Lord...

Going by the constitution the 10th amendment cleary states that all powers not vested in the federal government shall be vested in the states. They have gone on to neuter that a little bit. And wisely so in regard to, as you point out, saying that civil rights should be upheld by the states as...

How about this... Man is 25 female is 13. Man has sex with young female. No one ever knows. She grows up and enters a consenting relationship with this man. After some years, it becomes known the the man had been fucking the child since before she gained the age of consent. Since she is...

Well said. I made no argument for utilitarian. I simply said moral. What is moral is only determined by societies and individuals. If, for no other reason, than that is the only thing that can determine it. God doesn't determine it. The bible has a story where God tells the Israelites to...

I did say they had to be sexually mature.

My view expressed there without much distortion is, I think, spot on. There are societies and groups of people in the past who have allowed what we call children to enter into marriage with men and the women grew up to function well in that society. I don't know why you feel the need to...

In full context that isn't even close to what I said.

The way you put it, you're stretching the truth

The way you word it, it's just a plain lie.

While Jesus could possibly be a completely made up piece of business, Mohammad existed in the full light of history.

I dont get any of my ideas from the bible. But coincidence may happen. Any common beliefs I share with the bible are merely coincidence.

A natural cardiac arrest from a medical condition might and probably would be from a simple super natural cessation of ones heart. And who can't sort out complex arguments?

It can. But often I suspect it does not. If you take the assumptions of the mythology, that Jesus is God, and he kills someone to bring them back to life... Why assume to just having your heart to stop beating, only to have it resume beating a few moments later would cause pain?

If you kill someone, then turn around and revive them, leaving no harm... Have you really murdered that person? Set aside this isn't a true story for a moment. Suppose it is real. That wouldn't be a murder, it would be a demonstration of power.
