Im not going to name any religion but why don't they strictly forbid sex with minors.
My last question got deleted for the only reason that some people felt offended by the question about if there was a link between pedophilia and religion.
How can this be illegal and theists saying atheist going to hell and comparing us with famous (supposedly atheist) dictators is not against the rules.
Strange kind of rules to say the least.
Btw my question wasn't asked in any offending way , it was in the same style as this one.

There isn't a link between pedophilia and certain religions. In fact there is way more pedophilia among the non-religious than the religious. If you would actually take the time to look at all the good that is done by many religious organizations and religious individuals you would actually start being more appreciative of all the good that is done my them, even just in your own country.



And goodness gracious, have you been living under a rock or something? If pre-marital sex is forbidden by religions---pedophilia is more than forbidden, it is known as an unspeakable crime. Jesus did indeed say, "Whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to have a great millstone hung around his neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea." (Matthew 18:6)

Sex with young brides dates way back. It's only the puritan right wing religious fanatics that really have a problem with ancients cultures and child brides. In our more modern society it is very much frowned upon and for good reason but in the past there were legitimate reasons for older men to marry much much younger girls.

There are theories that the church in question, decided to turn their heads when their priests began violating young boys, their alter boys, most often. The theory states that it used to be legal for priests to get married and have lives outside of the church. One of the Popes decided to change that and said his priests could no longer have wives. Shortly after is when the abuse of minors began.
