All cultures change, so are not the "same" culture through time. All cultures have ended or will end. . The dominant form of "marriage" in human history has been <i>irregular</i>. Many if not most humans who have lived together &amp; borne children have done so without what we would call marriage. Polygyny for the rich &amp; informal monogomy for everyone else has been the most common form of marriage since the development of "civilization". . By the way, the Jewish bible clearly condemns one man marrying sisters. It also condemns men having sex with their daughters (like Noah &amp; Lot) and having sex with your daughter-in-law (like Judah when he founded the Jewish people by having sex with Tamar, who was disguised as a Canaanite temple prostitute...also a no no). But selling your daughters is OK! . NO “civilization” has ever “survived”.

Having actually attended a seminary, I cannot believe that they either weren't offered or fell asleep in classes concerning history and critique of the bible, but somehow aced the hatemongering, homophobia, and sexism.
