from your linked article by Dennis Prager:

When Judaism demanded that all sexual activity be channeled into marriage, it changed the world

I think I now have at least a ready answer for anyone who askes why the Jews have
been the recipients of all kinds of hate over thousands of years.

It's not the right answer, but it does make it's own sense...
Lots of people hate those who tell them to keep their zippers up until the
appropriate time and place!

I'm glad I can share it. Thank you.

The God of Abraham, Issac and Israel makes moral demands on people. And a lot of people don't like being forced to moral decision. I think that says a great deal about anti-semitism alone.

The real strong suit in Prager's article however, for me, is its argument for Western civilization. If heterosexual marriage contributed so firmly to its anchor, shouldn't what detracts from or undermines that institution be viewed as contributing to the civilization's decline?

As Prager always claims he's for clarity over pursuassion, that's a pretty good shaker-upper.
