@Countermeasures Because of basic bitch Reagan era social science I could never get on board with the full sexual revolution despite having no theological objections. It was clear that monogamous marriage with no divorce was best for kids. Anything that makes that more likely improves the general quality of life.
My historic analysis is misunderstood. I assert that the revolution in the scientific world picture weakened the church enough for it to be infiltrated. The same trick jews used ever since gained them entry - 'If you were wrong about X isn't it possible you were wrong about us?'
Of course scientific paradigm shifts weren't the only factor. It was a perfect storm of scientific, political and technological revolutions hitting simultaneously as they all fed into each other.
We celebrate the 248th anniversary of one such inflection point this very day.
