    One of the fastest ways to discover how much Twitter life departs from real life is to tweet in support of marriage and religion — and then watch the blowback. For others, the idea that marriage and religion sustain happiness is self-evidently true:https://www.nationalreview.com/corner/it-turns-out-that-sexual-liberation-isnt-all-that-liberating/ …

        Both are useful for social cohesion - and not much else.

        So long as the marriage isn't gay and the religion isn't Episcopalian I guess...

        That's because it's code for bigotry and homophobia.

        Then why were people in the streets wanting the “right” to marry? (Before you start in, I don’t disagree with gay marriage, I just don’t see it as a “right.”)

        So do you think marriage merely correlates with happiness and has no causal connection? Same with faith practice?

        Those people who despise religion and marriage are just so damn happy that they need to let you know — with a vengeance!

        Confuses cause and effect. Marriages make people happy when they genuinely have the right life partner. Otherwise people feeing pressured to marry people that aren’t right for them led to unhappy marriages and lives, which is what happened before the sexual revolution.
