The age of consent for girls was 10 in many Western countries during the 19th century. We have progressed since then (in some respects).

Some girls can conceive at 8. Does that mean they should?

Stick with the context.
The accusation was that some of us support lowering the age of consent.

If it is being opposed on religious grounds, I am throwing your history back up at you.
If it was good then, then it is good now.

Or are we admitting 'christian' (use of quotes intentional) 'morality' is not consistent?

Can't have it both ways. Either you're always 'right', or you're always fallible.
This is an example to demonstrate the complete illogic of false moralist fanatics. FF578 was laying the end logic at God's feet for all his outrageous commentary. I'm merely disarming him.

And you're playing. Good sport :)
