In antiquity, men courted young boys. They wrote poems and gave them gifts with the consent of their parents. Also, children were sold as sex slaves. The rise of Christianity stopped this kind of exploitation when compassion and individual rights became a thing. Let's make compassion and individual right a thing again.

That and Jesus saying, "If anyone harms a child(or child's faith in Him) it's better they have a millstone tried around their neck and dropped to the bottom of the sea." And frankly it's one of the few times that that any Pharisee present didn't try a counter argument.

"The rise of Christianity stopped this kind of exploitation when compassion and individual rights became a thing"

First, the Bible doesn't mention "individual rights" anywhere. Second, if that were true, then why does Christianity have such a long history of oppression and exploitation?

All human institutions can be corrupted, but if you study antiquity you will clearly see the change. Modern values are basically Christian values. The ancient Romans and Greeks had no problem with oppression and exploitation. It was part of the plan. You don't have to be a Christian to be influenced by it. Christianity is part of Western Culture. I myself am a Buddhist.

Some modern values are in line with Christian values, others are not. The Bible makes it clear that women are not equal to men, yet in the United States they are supposed to be. In Christianity slavery is allowed. In modern society it is not allowed.

Slavery was a part of life in antiquity. It was mostly abolished in modern Europe until the African slave trade brought it back. Serfdom may be considered a type of slavery. Not sure it is accurate to say "Christianity allowed slavery." Slavery is more the norm than not in most cultures throughout history. The fact that it is questioned at all could be due to Christian values.

It had faded in Europe where exhausted rocky topsoil made farming of any sort more a subsistence deal, and made a come back with colonization of the Americas which opened vast swaths of rich soil and mild climes for unprofitable farming but lacked in people to do the labor, let alone a massive serf class to exploit. That the slave trade coincided with Portugal making inroads into Africa wasn't exactly coincidental, and the numbers that were sent to Europe were a smaller fraction.

But yes, while Chistianity allowed and excused it, it also provided the roots of the later turning against the practice of slavery.

When I say that Christianity allows slavery, what I mean is there isn't a single verse in the Old Testament or the New Testament that completely prohibits slavery

No, the bible makes it clear that men and women are different and have different jobs. You know "treat your wife like your own flesh" and other verses about equality.

And the verses about how women can't be in positions of authority over men, can't speak in church, make a woman unclean for twice as long after birth, etc

The first one is wrong. Women couldn't teach men. They could be in positions of authority. No one but the prophets were supposed to speak in church. Women were called out specifically because they would gossip. The last one is biological. 'Unclean' meant that you could spread or get diseases or sicknesses more easily.

"Unclean' meant that you could spread or get diseases or sicknesses more easily."

So explain how giving birth to a female child makes somebody more susceptible to spreading disease than if they give birth to a male child

Look it up. The Female body does different things based on the sex of the child.

The only positions of authority women had was over their children, and that only secondary to their husbands'. The entire planet. Till the 20th Century. Minus the occasional queen.

The Hebrews seem to have been somewhat mislead on the concept of disease by that whom they claim created them. Sometimes you have to take THE Word for what it is, no improvising require, even if they got it wrong. Which they do. A lot.

"Exactly what about it is not work-safe?"

The word "sex", regardless of context, auto-flags a meme NSFW. It has literally nothing to do with the mods or supporting pedophilia or anything like that.

"That it embarrasses those who support pedophilia?"

No one here is doing that

"That some addle-brained, soy-boy, pedophile-loving mod didn't like it?"

There aren't any "pedophile-loving mods" here

Stop calling them groomers. Call them what they are, "pedophiles."
