(7,886 posts)"If you follow the rules of Christianity not close enough, you disregard it's laws for setting up a stable society. And start raping children. "
Child Rape is not a product of not following Christianity, in fact, most major religions through out history practice pederasty or other forms, it's only in more modern times that we have decided that it might be a bad idea.
Following the rules closely leads you to stoning people for eating shrimp, and selling daughters into slavery, far cry from just "attempting to govern an economically and scientifically advanced society with Bronze-Age laws and morals." There are few rules in the bible and other holy books which allow for more than a basic tribal society, which is what the US is being reduced to.
