….It is Sloth that whispers into our willing modern ears, telling us to postpone marriage and childbearing till our careers are solid and we’re “financially stable.” Sloth is the voice confiding that other forms of human “union” — i.e., those without the rigors of real marriage — will be easier on us no matter what the Bible says. And it is Sloth, finally, that seduces us into shirking the public consequences of believing just what we believe – that tells us we should just give up, go along and get along like the rest of the folks, and put up with the fiercely held untruths of our time.
