Subject: Is my assessment of them wrong? |
Bible Note: This definition of sex equals marriage is the biggest scam proposed since the sexual revolution with the pill. In fact it is directly tied to it. Men told women that now they were in control their biology and destiny. All they had to do was take the pill. Then they said, "now that you don't have to worry about getting pregnant, you really have no good reason to say no to sex with me before we get married. Besides, marriage is just a piece of paper. Who needs that, we have sex. Ooops! I mean we have love. Don't cry, we'll get married later when we can afford it and all that." Many women bought the into that scam, so the ones that didn't had to compete with women who were giving themselves away without any committment. And we ended up with less marriage, weaker families, more divorce in the marriages we do have and a broken down society where we actually murder up to a third of our children to cover up the evidence (children conceived without committment and "by accident") that the whole scam is a lie. The truth is that men sold women a bill of goods in the sixties. Men got what they wanted without having to make a committment of any kind. And if the woman gets pregnant well, that's her own fault. Then she is pressured to have an abortion or face the shame or hardship of having a child without a husband and all the social and financial hardship that entails. They call that "choice." Marriage is a personal and commual committment acknowledged and witnessed in a community ceremony, even if just at a courthouse, because the abscence of marriage or the failure of it has serious social consequences. So it is more than just sex between two people. Sex equals marriage, as recently proposed by Theo-Minor and seconded by Stultis on this forum is nothing more than Darwinian materialism dressed up in a few Bible verses to cover its nakedness.
