Even if theism is a failure, it's still superior to atheism

[Ahriman]

More on Root’s second point:

The notion that men ultimately want ONLY sex out of a relationship is as dead wrong as the idea that women ALWAYS want more than sex.

I’ve been in lot of relationships, some of which were based only on sex (the ‘fuck buddy’ paradigm) and others which were purely platonic. To this day, some of my best mates are women I have no desire to have sex with.

As described by Root, male-female relationships viewed through his theistic lens are demeaning to both men and women.

But theism is somehow ‘better’.

I guess the only way theism would be better (in this context) is if you believed men and women deserved to be thought of in a demeaning way, even if that way of thinking is logically incorrect.
