"This then is what Solomon did, he went after Astaroth, the impure Venus of the Sidonians; after Milcom, the abomination of the Ammonites; after Chemosh, the abomination of the Moabites; and after the murderous Moloch, the abomination of the children of Ammon. And all these were worshiped upon what the Old Testament in II. Kings, 23, v.5, calls the high places before Jerusalem, which were on the right hand of the mount of Corruption."
Haha. You are a special kind of fruit bat! Do you really think Solomon with all his wives just had Jesus returning for the church in mind when he penned that. If you actually read the book, it's about intimacy between a man and his bride which gives us a good understanding about the kind of intimacy Jesus wants with his church. As usual, you start wrong and then dig the hole for yourself.
@torbod3an It's an idea put forth by those who are creeped out by sexuality. In their minds, since there can be no positive portrayal of sex in the Bible, it must be all code for something else. Some Rabbis have made the same laughable mistake, though replacing Christ and the Church with their legitimately monotheistic God and Israel.
this is frighteningly strange and theologically incorrect in so many ways

There is nothing in the entire text of the Song of Solomon that suggests that it is about Christ and the Church. Where did you learn hermeneutics? :)
