Marriage and Family

As explained by D'Souza, before the Chistian era, pederasty and homosexuality were not considered wrong: "Christianity exalted heterosexual monogamous love, which would provide the basis for a lasting and exclusive relationship between husband and wife, oriented toward the rearing of children. We take the family so much for granted—it remains such a powerful ideal in our society, even when actual family life falls short— that we forget the central premises on which it is based. Those premises were introduced by Christianity into a society to which they were completely foreign."


How is that remotely true if we got Leviticus from the Jews (known as "Vayikra" in the Torah) ?

*Coughs* A better way to put it might've been that most societies didn't see it as wrong.
