There is also a lot of historical realities that are simply ignored...the idea that a wedding gave a man and woman permission to have sex and procreate is a gross generalization, given that the implication is that societies have never given such permission without a wedding.

False; given that the implication is that Christians have never given such permission without a wedding, but if you are not a Christian I could understand that error.

[C. Edmund Wright]

Really low hateful and sin filled accusation on your part, indicating an evil pharisaical spirit about yourself. Knowing history does not mean one agrees with it, or disagrees with it, necessarily - it is just the removal of ignorance.
