While the phrase age of consent rarely appears in legal statutes, when used in
relation to sexual activity, the age of consent is the minimum age at which a
person is considered to be legally competent to consent to sexual acts. It
should not be confused with the age of majority, age of criminal responsibility,
the marriageable age, the voting age, the drinking age, driving age, or other
purposes. Laws vary widely, and while most jurisdictions set the age of consent
in the range 14 to 18, ages of consent as low as 12 and as high as 21 exist.

But Satan DIDNT lie!???
by mrbunyrabit inwhy does the bible portray satan as this big liar, and that he is the father of the lie when he didn't lie?.
genesis 3:4-5.
4 then the serpent said to the woman, you will not surely die.

I don't see the word "liar" in the passage--the serpent is called "crafty."
However, the serpent claims the knowledge gained will insure their inherent
immortality. But it's a lie since it encourages them to indulge human selfish-
ness and betray God so they lose immortality from Him.
http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Genesis+3&version=NIVA more general interpretation for the fall is that human selfishness is common,
and overindulged it's a curse. -

Jesus King of Edessa
by mP intheres an interesting new book out that claims that jesus of the bible shares many similarities with a historical character who was the king of edessa.
his name was izus and manu.
supposedly there is a reference in mt about jesus being called emmanual when this only happens once.

It's okay, but when I Google it I see the back and forth over it short of
the same conclusion giving me the idea that it's forced (unsurprising given
Ellis seems to have Stone's ambition of selling an Untold History). One of the
disputes over the Josephus Luke/Paul ideas:

To give credit to early believers and the idea of faith understood as such,
the harshness of a Jehovah representing the earliest drafts of the idea, when
there were tribal disputes and Mosaic law punishment, seems to have already been
taken into account by Christians, who ended it and didn't ask for their religion
to be made law of the land with punishments, and the Jews, with capital punish-
ment being made rhetorical in the 1st two centuries AD by the earliest rabbini-
cal Jews."Forty years before the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem in 70 CE, i.e.
in 30 CE, the Sanhedrin effectively abolished capital punishment, making it a
hypothetical upper limit on the severity of punishment, fitting in finality for
God alone to use, not fallible humans."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Religion_and_capital_punishmentSome later developments (Theodosius I in 380 AD, Muhammad, etc.) were 'centric
political regressions. -

It's always been complained, I suppose because it's easier to remember the
favorites of a past period than wade through the current batch to find them. It
doesn't help that popular music is mostly a youth market which is less experi-
enced.In the early 1900's, popular music wasn't as serious as classical music. In
the late '50's-60's, mainly more conservative older types and acoustic jazz fans
complained (you used to have to know how to play an instrument). George Martin
once wrote that many older people first heard the melodic sensibility of the
Beatles with "Yesterday" because the instrumentation had the acoustic sounds
they were familiar with.In the 70's, people complained that music started to seem more produced and
processed--drum machines, etc. The sounds haven't changed much since but that
makes it easy to detect regurgitated formulas. Some new sounds like vocoders
beg for complaint.At the other extreme are the trendy fans. Sydney Harris once wrote that
they're ironically the most dated: they restrict their favorites to a narrow
band of the latest dates. -

Nothing among known things or ethics will prove the basic God concept or not,
only to reject added religious or political stipulations that misinform or cause
harm. The ability to hope or not for a possible basic God beyond the known
things will remain. -
