"But if you believe that because you don't like something, it shouldn't exist, why don't you try not liking war, famine, child abuse, and stupidity?" Because all of those things are mentioned in a positive light in the Bibble.

1. In the view of many historians, if Jesus had not been married as a young adult, it would have been his most noteworthy characteristic. He would have been "Jesus the Bachelor," not Jesus Son of Joseph or Jesus of Nazareth.

2. "Over 2,000 years"? Really, Huck, you only have about 6,000 years to work with here. If the New Testament's chronology is taken at face value, J.H.C. was death-penaltied in about 33 C.E. There weren't any "Christians" before then, of course. By the time it's been "more than 2,000 years" that Christians have been plying their trade, Presidents Clinton and Warren will both have completed their second terms.
