You really want to make them mad? Remind them it used to be 10 and that Christian Feminists are they reason it was raised. The left isn't the only side with delusion and cognitive dissonance.
The Theotokos (St. Mary) was about 14 or 15 years old when she had Christ. I think one of the differences is back then "children" were more educated in the ways of the world, they didn't sit around all day on an ipad watching TV. And I think this is a big change with maturity as well depending on what kinds of situations you are exposed to, if you have to wake up at sunrise every single day to work on your family's goat farm your maturity will be different because at a certain age your expected to do things.
That being said, do I think in todays world its acceptable to have sex with a 14 or 15 year old? No, because their maturity level and level of understanding is much less than a 14 or 15 year old in the B.C. era.
I also think the gamboling age, and age to go to war should be increased to 21. If not then everything should be lowered to 18, it shouldn't be you can go to war at 18 but can't have a drink are you more mature to go to war and end up mentally damaged from PTSD than to drink?
On a somewhat related note, my observation, the concept of the teenager as we think of them didn't really seem to have come about until after WWII, and the idea that teenager = child seems to have started in the eighties.
I never really thought about when it came around but yeah I can agree with that. Considering around that time people seem that be enjoying an "easier" life.
Please continue to call out Christian hypocrisy with me. I am a follower of Christ, but Christ's "religion" consisted of doing what He said and "where two or more of my people gather, there I am also". There's nothing to do with buildings, priests or any of the made up non-sense. Most of the Christian religion is based on Paul NOT Christ. Christ never established a religion. Technically following Christ is a lifestyle choice as well.
But anyway, I don't go out of my way, but when I see it, I call it out for what it is. And yes, some of the more insecure types are still getting over themselves, but as a whole when you invoke logic reasoning and respect, most will start to listen and change themselves.
I am secure in my beliefs. I do not need anyone's permission to have them or anyone's approval for how I follow them. My relationship with God is between Him and I and no one else. Therefore, whatever anyone else claims, is their business. Someone saying they don' believe in God, does not magically speak Him out of existence. God doesn't stop existing just because some people don't believe, yet a lot of Christians knee-jerk react to Seth McFarline making jokes as though he aborted a million puppies and say his jokes are persecution... yeah nevermind people being stoned to death and tortured, Peter Griffin making fun of Jesus is clearly the same... fuckin children.
Funnily enough, while I do believe that what a lot of people believe is 'Christianity' is honestly bullshit, I find myself more unwilling these days to shit on Christianity now that I know that Islam and Judaism seem to be untouchable, while Christianity is an open target.
Both are open targets. Don't give cancerous Cancel culture power by being afraid to criticize. If you know what truth is and you stand on truth, then who cares what anyone else thinks?
Really though, it's better not to shit on any religion. Call them out, question them, sure, but it is always good to do so with respect and not from a place of trying to make people feel bad or insecure.
But that's just it? What is respect? I make fun of religions and such peoples for humorous ice breakings. I don't seek to harm. So intentions really make the difference.
This is too reasonable and logical for the pitch forking mob here.

True statement and is proven every day on this site multiple times.
