“Zeus Carries Off Ganymede to Rape”

Gregoree. Zeus was a myth! He no more carried off Ganymede than Yahweh pinned Moses down and asked him to view his “hind parts”! It does show, though that same sex love was demonstrated by the gods who were worshipped by the Greeks--which confirms that not only was it moral to them but so moral that the gods led the way! This myth gives religious sanction to a particular convention just as your myths sanction certain acts like stoning people to death or giving exorcisms to the mentally ill.

“THAT"S THE DEFINITION OF PEDERASTY”

Nice caps!

If you are a limited moron, yes!

I demonstrated the actual definitions ( Message 28599183 ) and why--but please feel free to keep it just as you like it in your fixated little mind!! Clearly, if you have not figured out by now what pederasty was to the Greeks even though I have spoon-fed you like the child you are, then enough time has been wasted on you. You are clearly either a complete idiot or you are completely dishonest. Not the first time we have been face to face with those alternatives in explaining why you are as you are! Regardless, of what you pretend, the law WILL arrest people for sexual exploitation under pederasty laws without requiring any back door escapes.“Thanks for your ringing and fawning endorsement of Pederasty”

I gave no endorsement of pederasty. You endorsed incest.

“You chose that name very carefully”

Why does that bother you? I always want my usernames to reflect great wisdom, and (if based on an actual historical figure) that the person be loved and honoured for his morality and contributions to humankind. Odd that you would be bothered that I am proud to be named Solon--the same who is revered down through the centuries as one of the Great Wise Sages and as the Father of Western Democracy. I suppose ‘gregoree’ (a wormy little unattached name that floats unknown through time and space!) doesn’t quite match up--but then again it suits YOU perfectly!

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-
