"My point was that if society did not condemn it, there would be no harm either" I believe there is a strong possibility of emotional harm coming to the child even without society's condemnation. When a child who has not fully developed emotionally and is trying to deal with and understand his sexuality is confronted with a friend and mentor becoming a lover, it's not hard to see how this could mess a kid up. But quite frankly, there is no way for me to know for sure how it would affect a kid without the taboos preached by society, just as it is impossible for you to know either. The reality is that we must deal with society, which is not likely to change it's views on the subject in our lifetime. As for your example of Greenland, well I don't know what the Eskimos did on cold winter nights, but I seriously doubt they were having sex with their kids. In any case, if you want to believe there would be nothing wrong or harmful with having sex with kids if it weren't for society's condemnation, that's up to you. But remember that the boys have to live in that society. And if you are a Christian, you should consider whether God thinks it's ok. Dakota |
