Man: Do you agree to stick together after your love turns into hate? Devil: Ignorance is no excuse! Man: That works out great - for us! Man: Modernity and its rituals: God invented 'em!! The Bible says (1 Corinthians 6:9-19, Deutrenomy 23:2) that unmarried people who have sex go straight to hell when they die. So do their kids. Marriage began about 4350 years ago with the ancient Mesopotamians. Previously, families consisted of clans with several male leaders who shared multiple women between them. Everyone who lived and died before 2350 B.C. - the period covering 99.8% of human history - was thus damned. Don't share the fate of your grand-grand-grand-grand-grandparents: get married today!
