I know there are 12-year-olds in the world having sex. But it's not normal behavior.

That is an erroneous statement as it stands. But it depends upon how normal is defined. It's normal from a biological point of view for pubertal mammals to have sex. Other points of view (religious, parental, etc.) may disagree

It's also normal from a biological point of view, in some cases, for mothers to eat their young.

How about the article’s statement that Obama is promoting pedophilia?

Really, its time to stop posting WND articles, they are just so ridiculous.

Human beings are not just mammals. Thery have intelligence and will. They do not have to blindly follow instinct.

Girls who start having sex at age 12 have not usually done so consensually. Early sexual behavior in girls leads to years of suffering from STDs, later abortions, loss of self-respect, lesbianism, low self-esteem and a host of other psychological and emotional problems.

You are wrong. However, explaining why is not the point of this thread.

How I tire of this argument. It's quite normal in some mammals for there to be a strict sexual order. The dominant males breed in a harem, everyone else goes bye-bye. And if you take over the harem from another male...you get to eat the cubs.

Oh, and some animals eat their own feces.

I guess these behaviors should be normalized for humans as well?

So, now we are supposed to define normal behavior by the way that a wild animal acts? Besides the scientific and religious problems with the theory of evolution this is another negative effect of the acceptance of Darwinism. It can be used to justify any behavior. I have even heard evolution used as a justification / explanation for rape. So, please spare me your attempt to drag humans down to the lowest behavior level of animals.

Absolutely correct. There is no "normal." It's an illusion. The freest, most prosperous, productive civilzations in most of our history have been ones that declared a Judeo-Christian ethic. The most barbaric and cruel societies, where innocents including children are sacrificed, where females are supressed to sub-human status, where slavery either by law or by socialism, is okay -- not a one of them declares the Judeo Christian ethic.

Our Judeo-Christian foundation is the key that we turn and open the door to our lives, progress, pursuit, and freedom. When we allow its tenets to be rejected, we suffer the consequences and it should come as no surprise. It isn't as if there haven't been plenty of examples over the centuries.

Remind me never to eat at your house.
