Again, it is always worth pointing out, that the further you go back in human history, worldwide, the more superstitious and the more socially conservative most humans were, not just in Christianity, but worldwide.
Conservatives exist in every religion and superstitions too. Far more of the world in antiquity were ignorant of scientific reality back then.

NO, I don't belong to anyone. I am not property. Sad that you think your life belongs to someone else. Sad that you would subject yourself needlessly to some backwords romance which in reality is worship of servitude.
The good thing is that God does not exist and you are not the property of anyone. The bad thing for you, is that you have yet to realize this.
They did not seem themselves as being "conservative" but as simply being orthodox.
