"You have repeatedly advocated Pederasty as a normative practice" "I have made over 20,000 posts to SI. Show me ONE where I "advocated" pederasty as a normative practice. It WAS a normative practice in many cultures in ancient times." Let me restate that. You have continually asserted that Pederasty in Greece was a normative practice and because morality is a cultural invention; therefore their Pederasty was of no moral consequence. Further you have repeatedly stated that you had no moral objection to someone else being a Pederast TODAY, and if it were legal there is no reason that Pederasty could not become normative again today. In fact you have argued that Pederasty as you mis-define it is a basic Human Right and Pederasts should be protected by law. Everyone can look up the definition of Pederasty and by now surely has. If you wanted to convey that you were talking about mere homosexuality then you should have chosen a different word. You didn't and so I am free to assume you don't for a reason. <<<That's like claiming that don't support the Holocaust: you only support the rights of Nazi Germany to kill Jews.>>> "What does the right to abortion have to do with killing Jews??" It's a straightforward analogy that demonstrates the absurdity of your position. Jews were dehumanized and then legally killed by the Nazis. Babies are dehumanized and then legally killed for convenience. You support the legal killing of babies and then think that you are morally superior to the Nazis who did the same thing to the Jews. You are NOT! BTW nice try calling societies that kill millions of innocent children for convenience "civilized". You are so sophisticated.
