    Of course hating on the church but no other religion Islam prophet literally married a 6 year old and had intercourse at 9 it’s in Hadiths which Muslims learn about the life of the prophet. This video has nothing to do with a church but yet you bring it up because you single out Christianity because of your hate of Christian’s. Seems like Christianphobic
