``So all the Pederasts agreeing that Pederasty is Moral makes it Moral? What do the Boys who are getting raped say``

You’re being dishonest again. Rape was illegal in Greece. The Greek writers and historians combine to paint a picture where the boys had the power to choose or reject. As well, relationships were subject to the father’s approval. The reason it was all moral is because they believed it was moral. In other words, as a collective group--as a society--they reasoned out what behaviour was in their best interests--just as all cultures do. I happen to be strongly behind individual rights and freedoms so I would not have interfered. They valued children very highly (male children, at least) and had laws to protect all citizens based on what they believed was right. As the forerunners of moral philosophy, they of course argued incessantly over what was moral and as to how one ought to live.

We stand on their shoulders. we have made some changes but it is remarkable what these people reasoned out 3000 years ago and how so much of their wisdom (such as Aristotle, Socrates, and Solon) has stood the test of time. Most modern people and educational Institutions honour them for their contributions. You choose to despise and condemn them. It just goes to show what a pathetic anti-social and immoral loser you are.

``do you think God has the right to judge anyone? Answer my question and I'll answer yours.``

What is this--a child’s game with you? Fuck--are you…Fucked!

God does not exist. If there was a Creator being, her rights would be defined strictly by might is right. Nobody would have the power to engage in polemics or to challenge what it did. So, of course, it would have the right to judge or do anything it wanted. Whether it judged rightly or wrongly, morally or immorally would depend on what it believed the good to be and on whether or not it chose to do what it believed to be good.

But this had nothing to do with my question to you. I had asked you what you believed to be the future of the entire Greek society in the mythic afterlife. Would they be tortured forever? And is torture the highest form and demonstration of Love?
