Biblical Marriage?
If you're on Facebook, I bet you've seen this graphic. The Christianists want to pretend that God instituted a 20th-century understanding of marriage at the dawn of creation. But God did no such thing. The uber-evangelicals are creating a myth. The current understanding of marriage dates from the Victorian era. The "biblical" understanding is more brutal toward women.

Yes.
BTW, I like your Biblican typo that you deleted. That might just be a good word for folks who persecute others with their version of the Bible. . .
Biblicans. . . hmmm.
Biblicans: loud and incessant Bible-misreading Republicans.
Good one, Susan. Yes, I corrected my typo. But I think you're right: "biblican" might be a handy term for those who use the Bible to clobber others.
JCF: That's a good working definition, but I don't think all the Biblicans are Republicans.
