No, I have researched the origins of marriage a number of times before this thread. I'm just too lazy to bother finding the same sites and citing them, because I'm lazy and if you think that the bible invented marriage or something ridiculous like that, then whatever, or whatever you think, is fine. I'm confident with what I believe, so in this case I'm willing to let you stay on your soap box and believe what you believe as well.
