                Who’s ‘they’? And what does arranged marriage have to do with child rape?

                Could you reread your own comment and tell me who ‘they’ are, according to your grammar, and what their beliefs are? Namely, are ‘they’ the arranged brides who do in fact support arranged marriage?

                  Sorry. High

                  The first, “they”, would be referring to buddhist.

                  The second , “they”, was meant to be the children getting raped or from their point of view.

                  No religion is immune to this shit! Religion is used to divide people

                    You still fail to show how Buddhists in particular support child rape or even child marriage. From what I know of Buddhism, which is admittedly not that much, that religion says nothing of child marriage.

                    I’m gonna take a wild guess that you equate Buddhism to India, which is the region most widely known in the West for arranged marriages (outside of Muslim countries, at least). Well guess what, firstly, 0.7% of Indians are Buddhists. Secondly, the Hindu Marriage Act of 1955 prohibits brides under eighteen years of age from marrying, unless they’s fifteen and has parental consent — which is pretty much the same as is typical in the West. This act applies explicitly to all religions except Muslims, Christians, Parsis, and Jews.

              History says you are wrong. War, famine, forced rape, current political system… all are products of religion. You can’t build something with the thought that only one gets the cookie in the end.

                You said all religion is filled with the same shit, which is profoundly ignorant. Nowhere did I say that religion hasn’t caused atrocities. But if you think that all religious traditions are the same, you have some reading to do.
