"The Greeks got around the rape charges by bribing the parents the same way Zeus bribed Ganymede's father." You claim that Greek pederasts bribed parents in order to forestall rape charges. This is odd since the father would have given his consent (approved) of the relationship. But please feel free to prove you were not lying by giving several examples (names) of pederasts and the names of parents they bribed to avoid being tried for rape. By the way…Zeus and Ganymede and Ganymede’s father do not count! I know you think these were real Greeks but they were not. They are just imaginary creatures--nothing more nor less. LOL! “If what you claim is true and all the Greek men were Homosexual Child Molestors” I never claimed that anywhere. But of course you know that and are just being your usual immoral self. I claimed ( as you know) that cultural anthropologists, historians, and contemporary Greek authors said it was a pederastic culture over approximately 1000 years. So most of the males were pederasts both as lover and beloved. You claim that the younger person was generally a suffering victim wounded for life. So why is he going to Hell? At what age does he become accountable or under what age can he escape being tortured forever! It seems odd that you would shed such big tears over the imagined suffering of these adolescents acting as their culture considers good, and to the esteem of that culture, while you apparently applaud their being tortured for an eternity? I bet they would gladly trade adolescence in Greece for having Yahweh as a father!! Then again, even if they were innocent (in the case of having not loved an older man without their father's consent)...they later would be guilty (according to you) by virtue of acting as the erestes in a relationship! So either way, they are going to Hell to find out what TRUE love is really like!! No wonder, you are so loving and concerned! You are doing god's work as god's little helper!
