The 1st marriage
just a question based on my lack of knowledge....
Were Adam and Eve ever married, in the conventional sense.
on another note...
what really is to "blame" for young people wanting to have sex?
Is it a lack of self-control?
One can take self control only so far; extremes of it are in fact not healthy. I recall posting a link to an article detailing the consequences of abstinence. Abstinence makes the heart grow?
Is it our instincts coming to the fore?
I find it interesting that religion often seemingly attempts to deny humans their humanity.
Is it a result of a cultural shift?
Not that people are having sex at a younger age (that too??), but that people are getting married later...
So it could be that human urges have yet to adapt to new cultural norms; that is if they ever will...
Edited by U can call me Cookie, : Maybe "consequences" is a better word to use tha "dangers"

"The good Christian should beware the mathematician and all those who make empty prophecies. The danger already exists that the mathematicians have made a covenant with the devil to darken the spirit and to confine man in the bonds of hell." - St. Augustine
