“So When Modern-day Religious Conservatives Wax Nostalgic About How Marriage Is A Sacred Tradition That Reaches Back Into History For Thousands Of Uninterrupted Years, They Are Correct, But In Only One Respect - Only If They Happen To Be Talking About Judaism. Christianity Simply Does Not Share That Deep And Consistent Historical Reverence Toward Matrimony. Lately It Has, Yes- But Not Originally. For The First Thousand Or So Years Of Christian History, The Church Regarded Monogamous Marriage As Marginally Less Wicked That Flat-out Whoring But Only Very Marginally.”
