there's many examples where people, especially white marks are admant about the age of certain sacred asiatic traditions. and yet there's nothing to back it up. for most of its early development christianity is just a puzzle box. at some point, those who made up the new rules simply declared these new rules were in fact old as fuck. for example, most christians want to believe that christianity cares about the sanctity of marriage. but rabbi jesus was clear in his eschatological commandments; marriage seemed almost useless to him (insofar he even existed).  that's why for christians, it always comes as a shock how long it took for the church to create the sacrament. in fact, my cucky family members refuse to believe me to this day.  don't faint, jew lovers, we're talking about the 13th century. > yes the holy church is so based it took them over a thousand years to produce that statement. and of course, i'd bet money that even this is a retcon and it might have been really the avignon papacy. because all marriage elements (the transfer of the wife, the rings, the kiss) are pagan, it's obvious how this is how most people married in the medieval era and that the church initiated a hostile takeover.
