APog:
To insist that every bad act needed to be explicitly condemned by Jesus reeks of either being intentionally difficult,
mP:
Im not being difficult. THe biggest evil in Jewish community and indeed the Roman Empure was slavery. Nearly half the population were slaves, why cant Jesus say a single word against it, but instead worries on multiple ccassions to teach us to the virtues of paying taxes ? Surely those millions deserve a one line a few times. If he cant help half the population with a good and just parable to help their sorrow and pain then he is worthless.
He never mentioned pedophilia because the word or concept didnt exist back then. Raping little kids was a social normal, everybody did it. There were brothels everywhere in the ancient world. GOto Pompeii and you will see just how many there were. There are lots penises through out the town as ornaments on houses etc. Sex was everywher ein the open back then.
Entire countries basically institiutionalised pedophilia, such as the Greeks eg the Spartans. Every boy left his mother and had a mentor or old man. THis man also raped the kid. IM not making this up, im sorry i cant find a link i will try and find one.
EDIT found the link

There is some evidence that in late-Classical and Hellenistic Sparta boys were expected to take an older male mentor, usually an unmarried young man. However, there is no evidence of this in archaic Sparta. According to some sources, the older man was expected to function as a kind of substitute father and role model to his junior partner; however, others believe it was reasonably certain that they had sexual relations (the exact nature of Spartan pederasty is not entirely clear). [72] It is notable, however, that the only contemporary source with direct experience of the agoge, Xenophon, explicitly denies the sexual nature of the relationship [70]
Notice that while ther eis debate it appers that it did happen.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pederasty
Pederasty or paederasty ( US: /'p?d?ræsti/ , UK: /'pi?d?ræsti/ ) is a (usually erotic) homosexual relationship between an adult male and an adolescent male outside his immediate family. The word pederasty derives from Greek (paiderastia) "love of boys", [1] a compound derived from πα?ς (pais) "child, boy" and ?ραστ?ς (erastes) "lover".
Historically, pederasty has existed as a variety of customs and practices within different cultures. The status of pederasty has changed over the course of history, at times considered an ideal and at other times a crime. In the history of Europe, its most structured cultural manifestation was Athenian pederasty, and became most prominent in the 6th century BC. Greek pederasty's various forms were the subject of philosophic debates in which the carnal type was unfavorably compared with erotic yet spiritual and moderate forms.
The legal status of pederasty in most countries is currently determined by whether or not the boy has reached the local age of consent. Illegal forms of pederasty for the purposes of law enforcement fall under child sexual abuse.
This shows that pedophilia was everywhere and Jesus and the Bible did not condemn it, because again it was a social norm.
And before you attack me, i dont condone any of this evil, im just pointing out that Jesus didnt know or say these things were wrong.
