If you're going to be married then adultery is a bad idea and who wants to see a marriage fail and end in divorce? I hated that my ex cheated on me and I hated that it helped to end my marriage so I dislike adultery and divorce. I would expect most people to feel that way.

@Sgt_Spanky I'm anti- marriage and anti-fidelity. I'm for a fantasy world of enlightenment.

@Storm1752 You gotta do you as hard as you can.

@Sgt_Spanky Thank you. To me, every day is Day One. Alternative Realities are useful in that
It didn't have to be this way, it being a result of random events,
The present and future do not necessarily follow from the past,
History is replete with sudden changes of course (revolutions, unexpected discoveries and revelations, etc.).
Hence, it's not IMPOSSIBLE marriage and adultery may either slowly be replaced with a new paradigm, or suddenly, if conditions warrant.
Marriage and adultery go together like peas in a pod; you can't have one without the other, they have always been linked.
Why?
Because asking two people to remain faithful to each other from one arbitrary date til death is in today's world the exception. Adultery has always been with us, but in modern times almost to be expected. Is it too much to say the institution of marriage no longer fits most situations most of the time? Should there be alternatives?
Yes and those alternatives are available to anyone who wants them. At some point they will be the norm, I postulate, and marriage the exception.

Too hot to be asexual, hon. Besides, I thought you said you were TRANS-sexual.
Just kiddin' around, don't take offense.
(I agree about the 'sodomy' thing, btw. As a bi-man I think that's gross. But that's just me.)

And they're expected not to question anything so the ignorance can flourish.

@Sgt_Spanky Yep. That's what makes it work. Depressingly effective.

The ideas in the bible are so primitive and ignorant and are such an obvious product of its time that no one should be able to relate to any of it. It also amazes me that Xian and Muslim women accept the lowly position their holy books outline for them.

@Sgt_Spanky It defies logic.

@KKGator That's why the brainwashing begins shortly after birth, it takes time to sell someone on an idea that would repel them if they were old enough to mount a counterpoint.

Yes, but women keep fucking them sooooo....

How can you tell; because men are the masters of everything and women are their property? How do modern people relate to any of this shit?

@Sgt_Spanky Modern women, do not relate to it, we are more advanced now.

@SCal No, we can choose who we are with, and who we will mot be with!

@TeresaWyckoff huh?

I see tons of women demanding a strong god fearing man even many secular women who get with religious guys and then pretend to be shocked when they try to control and convert them.

To each their own, but just sayin..

@SCal I am a woman, looking for a good man. I have been lucky to have had 2 good men in my life, one was my late husband, who practiced Judaism, but more ritual, than religious. The second was an avowed Athiest. Both were/are goid men of common sense, and neither forced their choices in me.

And yet, in times past women were almost deified, revered, respected and given great honour, .e.g in the Old Kingdom times of Ancient Egypt, the hieroglyphic symbol for woman was depicted as a Water Jug since the woman was deemed as being, like water, both the Giver of Life and the Sustainer of Life, whereas the hieroglyph for man was merely depicted as being a Plow, i.e.a very simple thing used to make furrows ready for the seeds to be sown and togerminate into plants for harvesting.
Then along came the European-Northern Meditterranean Influences and the roles were completely reversed and after that came the 3 basic Judaeo- Abrahimic Religions and women were demoted even further down the scale.

@TeresaWyckoff

There are some great guys on this site. Some awesome ladies too.

We argue a lot, but somehow we find a way to keep conversations going.

Well, if you're gonna make up a God, you may as well make him petulant and pissy.

That's why Blasphemy was invented so as stop "God" from getting its feelings hurt by the Truth.
