That length of time polemic is weak. The concept and practice of "queen of heaven" goes back to Babylon in the Old Testament. That certainly doesn't make it right for Christians.

Don't you find it interesting how the verse got reinterpreted right when contraceptives became mainstream and accepted?
Don't you find it interesting how it took over 2000 years for people to properly understand the verse?
Don't you find it interesting how almost every Church Father apparently got it wrong?

In any case, it's not the only verse. Witchcraft is also condemned, which in ancient times included contraceptives.

Argue contraception all you want. But don’t pervert scripture to do so.
