Troublesome Question

Apologies, TC, I simply linked to a chapter in "Through the Looking Glass." I had no idea of the nature of the site, nor of Dodgson's paedophilia. I defended loving children & reading & telling them stories, as I do, as father & grandad.

I first heard of the Humpty Dumpty arguments from the theologian Dr J. Packer, as an illustration of the care needed in theological argument in the definition of terms. I think it's in common use in the UK as a warning.

I very rarely quote from other websites, apart from Scripture.

Apologies again.

 

Very good! Crisis averted

 

Yeah, once something is old enough to become public domain, it can pop up on all sorts of distasteful websites.

And I admit that I had never heard of any pedophilia allegations about Carroll either. Sad.

 

The ungodly will try to “uncover” any ugly. That is their nature.

I was never a great fan of the author or the story, and what WE might consider pedophilia in US courts were not the same standards of those that man’s days.

Do not photographers take pictures of naked babies and children even in our times?

In reading on line, there is a lot of supposing, but nothing really concrete other than he loved the oldest daughter. Again, not a crime.

If someone has some facts, post the link.
