That explains the Christians at my door, telling me I'm going to hell because I have two kids with my fiancee, to whom I am not yet married.
That explains why they constantly call me horrible names and try to beat me up because I'm unmarried yet sexually active.
Man, I was really starting to worry that I had it a lot worse than the homosexuals, with all the attention we fornicators have been getting from the Christers.
Ah, good olde appeal to bigotry. Rather than look at what scripture actually says thus defining what a proper Christian response should be, take the "thinking man's" approach and build an arguement based on stereotypes.. But wait doesn't that make you a hypocrite? No of course not. You don't believe in God so it is ok for you use the very same type of stereotypes to build anti Christian sentiment.
What happened to you? Loose a few arguments, and you can be found scraping the bottom of the barrel for anything to hurl at religion and those who represent it.
You've still yet to win one you know...

You know the funny thing? I was just starting to soften my stance on marriage. Thinking of the future, thinking of it as a grand gesture to make at some distant point but you, you reminded me what it really is. What it was and what it will always be no matter how much we try to change it. A shackle, designed to tie a woman to a man regardless of how she feels in the future. Designed to make men like you feel more secure. Designed to leech off of that bond and insert your religion where it most certainly does not belong.
Its a gesture that would be fantastic at first but as time went on it would tarnish everything. It would strip away the passion and the freedom because of what it represents. What it will always represent. There are other more imaginative and more beautiful ways to strengthen that bond. Marriage can't do that though. It can't strengthen, it will either have no effect long term or it will destroy it because when it comes down to it a shackle is a shackle even if you loosen the chain.
