sorry folks I have no idea how I ended up with a “red Letter edition”-
You’re forgiven. :)
You (and Prager) make excellent points, and I appreciate it. Never saw it this way, but it is so true. Thank you for the ‘enlightenment’!
“When Judaism demanded that all sexual activity be channeled into marriage, it changed the world. The Torah’s prohibition of non-marital sex quite simply made the creation of Western civilization possible. Societies that did not place boundaries around sexuality were stymied in their development. The subsequent dominance of the Western world can largely be attributed to the sexual revolution initiated by Judaism and later carried forward by Christianity.”
“This revolution consisted of forcing the sexual genie into the marital bottle. It ensured that sex no longer dominated society, heightened male-female love and sexuality (and thereby almost alone created the possibility of love and eroticism within marriage), and began the arduous task of elevating the status of women.”
I for one will be pointing this out and expanding on it for many moons to come. Thank you!
