And I guess it does suck pretty hard when your first born son would rather chase boys around than marry a girl that the parents could profit from. That could be one explanation for why homosexuality is considered so bad. You need kids so you can get more boys into the military, and girls to form marriage alliances, and homosexuality just screws things up.
Yeah, because love never solved anything, not like letting people love who they want would keep there from being conflicts.
Religions were invented to impress and dupe illiterate, superstitious stone-age peasants. So in this modern, enlightened age of information, what's your excuse? Or are you saying with all your advantages, you were still tricked as easily as those early humans?

Unfortunately marriage used to be much more political than anything else. Still is in some places. What's love got to do with it? Just a second-hand emotion.~

In the case of the jewish stuff it is much simpler. They raised sheep and goats. Sheep and goats require less water than pigs which makes them better suited to the arid climate of the southern state of "Judah." Politically, the more temperate climates of their neighbors in the north and on the coast allowed the states of Aram-Damascus and Philistia on the coast to raise pigs. Nothing in that fucking bible should be taken at face value. It is all a pile of shit.

Well, yeah, that goes without saying, we're just giving our ideas on why the shit took on certain shapes and colors.
