You like the religion but don't actually believe it. Or you're not willing to compromise on being a pussy hound. You're remaking the religion in your own image, appointing yourself God and worshiping your own reflection. Probably not what you wanted to hear, but standard fare among people who want the trappings of religion but none of the obligations and restraints.
Take an art history course, read some philosophy, maybe you'll get over it.
Yeah, my thoughts exactly.
Why's he asking us for advice rather than his minister, rabbi, or spiritual adviser?
He's looking for us to come up with clever rationalizations that will allow him to live a godless life while "putting God first."
That's some women bullshit and we gotta call each other out on that stuff.
If the guy is a man, he needs to own his decisions. If he believes in God and takes his religion serious, talk to his spiritual advisers and do as they advise.
Otherwise we may as well just insert a rationalization hamster wheel.
why are you assuming I didn't ask any spiritual advisers? I have. A priest and a rabbi (I'm friends with one, a very wise man).
And what am I rationalizing here? Because I have a desire to believe in God and attend church, I must force myself to get married even though the deck is stacked against me and my future children? This isn't the 50's, where both men, women and their children benefitted from marriage: there are grave consequences for many men who get married these days, legal, financial, emotional and even lethal (a significant number of men become impoverished and/or commit suicide after getting divorce raped). Have you been living under a rock?
And look at big Righteous Alpha over here! He's never rationalized anything in his entire life, no sir! He's a real MANNN! Life is so easy, everything is either black or white! We all live in a vacuum, where we all have limitless choices, and men and women both live in a leveled playing field!
Your posts smacks of knee-jerk assumptions and a myopic, overly simplified worldview. Post something less dumb in the future.
