A thousand years ago there was no religion in marriage, it was only recently taken over by religions.
That's not even close to being true. Most religions get involved with marriage and several religions are well over a thousand years old. Certainly Islam, Christianity and Judaism are heavily involved in marriage an all are over a thousand years old.

Indeed the statement contains so much prejudice and inaccuracy, its hard to know
where to begin, reminiscent of many atheists on the forum who cannot substantiate
their own claims with anything other than vitriol.

No, it is really the agenda of religion to control populations and this is just another sick example of it. Religion should have ZERO to say about whether a woman and a man stay together or not. Or a man and a man. Or a woman and a woman. These kind of relationships should have NO control by religions. These kind of things, including abortion, divorce, marr ...[text shortened]... didn't like the arrangement they skipped town. No religious control which is how it should be.
God ordained the first marriage.

And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall on Adam, and he slept; and He took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh in its place. Then the rib which the Lord God had taken from man He made into a woman, and He brought her to the man.

And Adam said:

“This is now bone of my bones
And flesh of my flesh;
She shall be called Woman,
Because she was taken out of Man.”

Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.

(Genesis 2:21-24 NKJV)

The fact that God is left out of so many marriages today could be the cause of so many failed marriages. It is the governments of the world that have the agenda of controlling the populations. Governments make people pay for marriage licenses and also pay for government courts, lawyers, and Judges to get divorces. Most religions wish only for happy marriages. Governments make more money through divorces. Who ever heard of anyone donating money to a religion for a divorce? That is not the normal routine. 😏

HalleluYah !!! Praise the Lord!!

Your words are showing a contempt for the true God, I believe it is called blasphemy. That is a very serious sin against God, for Jesus says that blasphemy against the Holy Spirit is unforgiveable.

P.S. The annunaki.

I said God not the Church. The Church did not begin until after the resurrection of Christ, who built His Church to last until He comes again.

Um, while I agree that marriage was probably not originally a religious idea, It was certainly co-opted
by religions early on and religions have claimed jurisdiction of marriages (as a means of controlling sex,
and thus people) for thousands and not hundreds of years.

This doesn't in any way diminish the fact that modern day marriage should be defined by or dictated by
a religion.

But it's just not true that churches were not involved in marriages until a few hundred years ago.

Well I can't remember a time when I didn't commit the biggest blasphemy there is (not believe in your imaginary friend) and am thus (according to you) damned irrevocably...

As is anyone and everyone who has ever not believed...

That wiki article states that "the institution of marriage pre-dates reliable recorded history".

This is true, however, the Holy Bible, written after the fact, does record that the first marriage was between Adam and his wife Eve in Genesis chapter 2.
No other historical book gives such detail about the first marriage.

it is impossible to shows contempt for a true god. one can only blaspheme against an invented god. jesus is a false prophet, it's irrelevant what he says.

the annunaki were the first to create adam. your fairytale was just copied from this story.

You are lying for you have no way of knowing what I have read or what I haven't read. You are only speculating the same as those scientist do on the origin of the universe, the age of the earth, the origin of life, and that there is such a thing as biological evolution. They are all wrong, too.
