"I don't consider having anal sex with minors (at any point in history) to be any kind of "art"."

"Why don't you hold the Greeks to todays moral standards in the same way that you do with the Hebrews?

I don't hold either group to modern moral standards. The bible is not history. It is a collection of tribal myths and stories. Many of the stories are brutal and ugly and they need to be challenged when people use them as a guide for living because that is transferring a primitive morality to a civilized modern world which we do not need. Just as we don't need Athenian morality and slavery transferred to a civilized modern world.
