Scholars agree that pederasty was not only universally moral across Greece but was also the moral concern of the wisest of the politicians, philosophers, poets, dramatists, etc. People such as Socrates, Aristotle, Plato, Solon--and any other men entrusted with the safety and moral structure of their society and the rights and happiness of the citizenry.

As to the rape of Ganymede! I am surprised to find you believe those gods were real! But then you are a gullible fellow. Funny that the only rape you can come up with in 1000 years of pederastic culture where every young boy had a sexual relationship is one “rape” by a mythical being! But that is only because you are unread.

There is something very interesting, however, in the fact that over 50 young men are featured loving the gods and that every god except Mars mentored one or several adolescents in some erotic way! What this confirms for us is that not only was pederasty morally approved of by the gods--but verily that they led the moral teachings by example!!

So it was clearly not just moral (as in "permitted")--but moral as in "idealised"--and pretty much demanded of a good citizen!

YUCK YUCK!

Question: Are all those Greeks going to Hell to benefit from further expressions of Yahweh's mysterious and boundless 'love'?! I know you hate questions because you like to be able to squirm down mouse holes! But why not pretend to be a man--just this once? Show us you can be a man--just this once? You might get a good feeling about yourself, if you try it. Waiting... -g-
