These are the sorts of things

that legalistic religions whose precepts are based on laws and not justice and love get themselves into:

Pakistan court rules conversion of kidnapped Christian girls is legal

Of course the conversions are legal because if they were declared illegal the children would be killed as adulters or fornicators. The men, of course, are completely innocent as they were led astray by these 10 and 12 year old children.

I can't begin to express the disgust I feel about this sort of thing and the contempt in which I hold these people. But then, it is a medieval religion in the 21st Century. What else can be expected?
