There is an evolutionary psychological concept that men are more promiscuous because of the amount of parental investment they have to put into raising a child. Technically they only really need a few minutes and then they are done whereas women invest at least 9 months. A man spreading his seed as far as possible was benefitial. So you could argue that men are biologically predisposed to be more likely to cheat. However, this does not excuse what he did as he has a conscious mind and a choice over his actions unlike millions of years ago when our ancestors acted on instincts alone.
And yes i agree, this christian guy appeared quite biggoted and sexist.
'The more I learn about people the more I like my dog'- Mark Twain
'You can have all the faith you want in spirits, and the afterlife, and heaven and hell, but when it comes to this world, don't be an idiot. Cause you can tell me you put your faith in God to put you through the day, but when it comes time to cross the road, I know you look both ways.' - Dr House
“Young earth creationism is essentially the position that all of modern science, 90% of living scientists and 98% of living biologists, all major university biology departments, every major science journal, the American Academy of Sciences, and every major science organization in the world, are all wrong regarding the origins and development of life….but one particular tribe of uneducated, bronze aged, goat herders got it exactly right.” - Chuck Easttom
"If my good friend Doctor Gasparri speaks badly of my mother, he can expect to get punched.....You cannot provoke. You cannot insult the faith of others. You cannot make fun of the faith of others. There is a limit." - Pope Francis on freedom of speech
Undeceived Wrote: You're right. It is sobering to find "Christian" men who ignore these verses:
"Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her." Ephesians 5:25
"In this same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies." Ephesians 5:28
I can still love my dog Maggie like I love myself and expect her to shut her trap and not chew shit up.
Oh and in case you missed it,
Eccles. 26:14-15
"A silent and loving woman is a gift of the Lord: and there is nothing so much worth as a mind well instructed. A shamefaced and faithful woman is a double grace, and her continent mind cannot be valued."
Eccles. 26:9-10
"The whoredom of a woman may be known in her haughty looks and eyelids. If thy daughter be shameless, keep her in straitly, lest she abuse herself through overmuch liberty."
Corinthians 14:34-35
"Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience, as also saith the law. And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church."
I Timothy 2:11
Let a woman learn in silence with all submission. 12 And I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man, but to be in silence.
1 Peter 3:1
Likewise, wives, be subject to your own husbands, so that even if some do not obey the word, they may be won without a word by the conduct of their wives, when they see your respectful and pure conduct.
1 Tim. 2:12-14
I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man.
Ephesians 5:24
Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit in everything to their husbands.
I Timothy 2:11-14
And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression."
I Corinthians 11:3
But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God."
Gen 3:16
Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire [shall be] to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.
Ephesians 5:22-24
"Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body. Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in everything."
Col 3:18
Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as it is fit in the Lord.
Eccles.26:25
"A shameless woman shall be counted as a dog; but she that is shamefaced will fear the Lord."
Eccles. 42:13-14
"For from garments cometh a moth, and from women wickedness. Better is the churlishness of a man than a courteous woman, a woman, I say, which bringeth shame and reproach."
1 Cor. 11:7
"A man is the image and glory of God; but the woman is the glory of man."
This guy is considered a True Christian by millions, so what are you if you don't follow the teachings of your own bible?
If I were to create self aware beings knowing fully what they would do in their lifetimes, I sure wouldn't create a HELL for the majority of them to live in infinitely! That's not Love, that's sadistic. Therefore a truly loving god does not exist!
Quote:The sin is against an infinite being (God) unforgiven infinitely, therefore the punishment is infinite.
Dead wrong. The actions of a finite being measured against an infinite one are infinitesimal and therefore merit infinitesimal punishment.
Quote:Some people deserve hell.
I say again: No exceptions. Punishment should be equal to the crime, not in excess of it. As soon as the punishment is greater than the crime, the punisher is in the wrong.

Honey, you should know that True Christians only have to follow the parts of the bible that don't make them uncomfortable/look bad. Everything else is a metaphor, or god wasn't serious, because that guy is totally a prankster. Remember?

Watcha think of someone who stereotypes a couple billion people based on the advice of one of them? Is that horrible and vile?
I think it's completely fair. The views of christians are vile. Are you a christian? Than you have vile ideas born of a filthy book written by a bunch of dumbfuck uneducated self-proclaimed prophets who barely knew their head from the hole in their ass.
You don't like it? I don't give a fuck.
I've never met a christian who wasn't a hypocrite on some level, and the large majority of you live immoral lives protected and justified by a phony deity.

Just don't ask multiple Christians which parts are which. They will only give totally different reaponses and confuse you. :P

In this case, it's a view supported by evolutionary psychology. Why do you find it vile?
