==Early historical roots and parallels==
In the 2nd century AD, one of the [[heretical]] sects established by [[Marcion ]] embraced the basic [[Gnostic]] convictions that The God of the [[Old Testament]] is not Father of [[Jesus Christ]], but an inferior deity who was ignorant and vengeful, foreign to the principle of ''"unlimited love"'' taught by their version of Jesus. They regarded the created world we live in as a miserable product of this inferior deity who also devised the degrading method of [[sexual reproduction]]. Thus, Marcion rejected [[marriage]] and required that his followers should not help this "malevolent" creator to keep the miserable show going on. Some Gnostics turned the argument the other way and maintained that since this mortal body will perish in any case, it does not hurt the divine spark within you if you let the body to have the sensual, mostly sexual, pleasures it longs for. These heretical views represented so serious challenge to the early church that the church father [[Tertullian]] devoted several years to writing five monumental books refuting Marcion.<ref name="Skarsaune">{{cite book

==Influence of Cultural Marxism==
[[Cultural Marxism|Cultural marxists]] including [[György Lukács]], representant of the [[Frankfurt School]], promoted to America what later became known as '''cultural terrorism''': radical sex education in public schools, covering such subjects as free love, outdatedness of monogamy, irrelevance of religion and the archaic nature of middle-class family. Women were called upon to rebel against sexual mores of the day, such being the core values to [[Christianity]] and [[Western culture]]. His ideas later became the basis for the sexual revolution embraced by a generation of drug-challenged [[Baby boom|baby-boomers]].<ref>{{cite web |title=Original Intent: How the Democratic and Republican Parties Are Destroying the American Dream |author=James Jaeger |publisher=James Jaeger Film |pages=16min:50sec |url=http://www.originalintent.us/html/ |accessdate=30 Jan 2016}}</ref>
