Name another society that claimed to be following the laws of God, who, as a society, accepted sex as a recreational activity, the majority of whom, in childbearing years, practiced pharmaceutical, surgical birth control, routinely resorting to abortion, and who accepted sex outside of marriage as completely acceptable

The problem, I think, is that you are describing a theocracy with the words, "following the laws of God."

The theocrats in Tehran, also, believe that they are "following the laws of God [or 'Allah']."

In fact, so, presumably, do the terrorists who comprise ISIS.

One further note: If you sincerely believe that sex should be engaged in entirely for procreation, what would you say to infertile couples? Or to married women who are beyond menopause, and are, therefore, no longer able to bear children?

Sex is for marriage with an openness to conceive

If you disagree go ahead. Who’s stopping you?

You might want to observe the venom that comes from those trying to rationalize birth control. The anger is remarkable

Here you are comparing the religion founded by Jesus to Isis for the sake of spewing pro birth control at me

Ok you like birth control. I get it
