>>15641045I don't think you are even getting any of what I am saying. Unlike abrahamic stuff. Dharma doesn't have a fixed set of scriptures which are immune to criticism and must be followed in all circumstances. It's mostly about doing what's right. What we call pedophilia today was a normal thing a few centuries back and was considered moral by many. I don't condone to it's views on pedophilia but you can also find arguments by the same guy against the points same guy made. It's a never ending spiral of arguments.
Shiva Purana Rudra Samhita, Parvati Khanda, 2.3.22.44-54 “Everyday during leisure time she used to water the trees planted by her along with her maids and extended acts of hospitality. Chill gusts of wind, cool showers, and unbearable heat she bore with equanimity. Different sorts of worries she did not mind at all. O sage, fixing her mind in Śiva alone she remained firm and steady. The first year she spent in taking fruits, the second in taking leaves, in the course of her penance. She spent many years thus. Then Parvati, the daughter of Himavat, eschewed even the leaves. She did not take any food. She was engrossed in the performance of penance. Since she, the daughter of Himavat, eschewed leaves from her diet she was called Aparṇā by the gods. Then Pārvatī performed great penance standing on one leg and remembering Śiva, she continued muttering the five-syllabled mantra. Clad in barks of trees, wearing matted hair and eager in the meditation of Śiva, she surpassed even sages by her penance. Pārvatī thus spent three thousand years in the penance-grove performing penance and meditating on lord Śiva. Remaining for a short while in the place where Śiva had performed penance for sixty thousand years, Pārvatī thought like this. Does not the Supreme lord know me observing these ritualistic activities now? Wherefore am I not followed by him though engaged in penance?”
