However you interpreted what I said, do not take it to mean that modern social mores are more in line with our evolved behavior.

The opposite is true. What is considered the traditional behavior of men and women is the healthier behavior for men, women, and society.

And it is healthier because it recognizes and seeks to manage the natural tendency of ungoverned passions to run amuck and destroy a society from within, as ours has been destroyed.

To: Age of Reason

I’m arguing something much more deeper and profound. I am arguing that we do better when we are married and stay married. Not just because that’s what the bible teaches - but evolutionary - because that’s how we were made.

The licentiousness - has always been a poor deal. Since Adam it was a poor deal. It is about using what was made for what it was not made. Why does sex feel good - because of the necessity of children. Why does man try to cut himself off from the responsibility to just enjoy the pleasure? Is contraception an evolutionally sound idea? No - not at all. It’s about one of the most negative inventions out there if the idea is to have children and continue on the species.

If your goal is to pass your genes on the strategy is not hard. Get married young. Stay married. Have children. Raise them. It’s been the strategy forever. It’s what works and it’s what we are made for.

The rest of this? Where does it come from?
