I'm quite cynical and I don't believe relationships are supposed to last.

I'm not going to shit on anyone, it's wonderful when you see old couples who have been married since the stone age. However, I think finding a life-ling soulmate is a rarity that most people aren't lucky enough to experience. I think most relationships go sour purely out of boredom, it's the monotonous day-in day-out family life that gets to people in the end. Of course it can be spiced up though, it just takes work.

I'd like to find a lifelong partner sure, I'm not saying any of this to suggest I'm scared of commitment because I'm not. I'm just cynical it can happen.

Had me some baby backs last night. OMG they were tasty. Of course Satan always takes more than his share. That's what makes him so Evil.

Hey Satan, leave some for the rest of us, k?

Yeah, I'm vegetarian, go ahead.

Not to have crazy explanation to what i don t understand. Science is enough.
If God is the answer to your question, it means that you have asked the wrong question.
A good question always ask how never why.

The best reason to be an atheist is to not live in fear

a) of eternal torment
b) of eternal boredom
c) of having some cosmic NSA looking over your shoulder every minute for reasons to condemn you to a) or b).

Flush those fears and the rest of life becomes much more enjoyable.
So how, exactly, does God know that She's NOT a brain in a vat? Huh

The best reason to be an atheist? Because I can't force myself to believe what appears to be nonsense, I don't have a choice to be anything other than what I am.

I didn't, obviously. But after reading that I'm not sure why anybody would "wait".

Made me laugh, thought I'd share.

Yeah....... Right. I believe this one.

Madonna once gave her best reason for being an atheist:

'When I get on my knees, it's not to pray.'

Then she went teetotal fucknuts crazy.

TBH I never understood the whole waiting until marriage thing because you wouldn't know if your sexually compatible with your partner. Imagine if a guy that turns out to like BDSM, hot wax, role playing, etc... married a girl that only likes "missionary with the lights off" that will not be a compatible marriage...
