The high-profile sex-criminal Jeffrey Epstein seemed a little upset that -criminalizing sex with teenage girls was a cultural aberration.- Indeed, the pagan world in Mesopotamia, Egypt, India,and the Muslim world was saturated in slavery, sexual coercion, and pre-marital fornication. It was a nightmarish world. There is no other word for it. But, when Christ came, He turned on the lights and transformed the way the world looks at marriage and sexual purity. We trace the laws of consent to directly after the Magna Carta and King John's coercion of the daughters of the lords. It was the Christian world that changed everything - no thanks to the Muslims, the Hindus, the Buddhists, and everybody else.
