The ‘biblical view’ that’s younger than the Happy... →
In 1979, McDonald’s introduced the Happy Meal. Sometime after that, it was decided that the Bible teaches that human life begins at conception.

A tip to fanfic writers:
inothernews: thegirlwiththefinchertattoo: If you are describing a woman’s vagina as being “inflamed” with passion during sex, that is alarming rather than arousing.  I don’t want to be taken out of reading this magical moment to wonder if your heroine has a yeast infection. If you find yourself writing “inflamed” in your fanfic, heliopause.
