"Given the option between reading the Bible and a piece by this fellow Winters, I suggest the former..."

It's not an either/or. Why not do both and become informed?

And for the record, JE is actually exactly wrong. The problem Jesus had on the marriage front was with a group of men who thought it was okay to stone to death a WOMAN who had been caught committing adultery (no punishment for the man) but who themselves could dump their own wives - and did - thinking that a writ of dismissal  justified their behaviour. 

It was not just hypocrisy, but murderous hypocrisy to which Jesus objected. The behaviour of a couple enjoying sex is a long way down the moral food chain compared to a gang of bullies smashing a young woman's head open with rocks.
