God invented concubinage, satan marriage.

God invented concubinage, satan marriage.

Summary

This quote may be interpreted as a perspective on the differing nature and origins of concubinage and marriage. It suggests that the concept of concubinage, which typically refers to a relationship where one person serves as a lesser-status partner to another, was attributed to a divine being, possibly emphasizing its historical prevalence and acceptance. Meanwhile, the mention of Satan inventing marriage could be seen as metaphorical, suggesting that marriage, with its legal and social obligations, might be perceived as more restrictive or potentially adversarial in nature. This quote prompts contemplation on the origins and implications of both types of relationships.
