We all know that could never happen because animals can never truly give their consent. Sure, we kill, hunt for fun, neuter, breed for food, experiment upon, and do innumerable other things to animals without even pretending to think about asking for their consent, but we have to draw the line somewhere, right?
And don’t come here saying that in cases when it’s a female human with a male animal, it’s pretty damn easy to tell if there’s consent or not. That’s just… THERE ARE NO WOMEN ZOOPHILES GODDAMMIT! That’s our truth and we’re sticking to it.
And definitively don’t come with your anti-humanist nonsense that higher animals like great apes and dolphins are more than capable of learning human language, understand the concept of marriage, and deciding, of their own will, to take part of it either with members of their own species or with humans. MARRIAGE IS JUST FOR GODDAMN HUMANS TO MARRY OTHER HUMANS AND THAT’S IT, YOU HEAR THAT, YOU FREAK!!!

And let that be a warning to all you young ladies.

“I’m sorry, I only want to have sex in a secure relationship where I can have a truly intimate experience with a man who loves me enough to publicly commit to spend his life with me. I want to be able to trust him to raise our children and be there with me no matter how difficult life gets. I don’t want to complicate the drama of dating and the important decision of choosing a life partner with the hormone-induced haze created by throwing sex into the mix. I don’t want to worry about if he’ll be there in the morning. I don’t want to be worried about being an unmarried mother and the almost inevitable poverty that follows. And don’t get me started on the risk of disease that I can almost completely eliminate with this decision. Why should I sacrifice this ideal on the sofa of my parents’ basement with someone who doesn’t know me well enough to understand the importance of this to me?”
If she ends up an old maid, that’s more of an indictment of the men around her than it is of her “antiquated principles.”
Argue with individual points, if you will, but don’t write off the whole list of valid concerns a young woman may have just because it doesn’t help you get laid. That only disqualifies you from being the caring man she’s looking for.
-
You don’t buy a car without test driving it, shoes without trying them on, etc. None of these decisions are even remotely as important as marriage. Why then would you ever marry if you weren’t sure that you could be at least comfortable with your partner sexually? Sex is an important part of every marriage. It can be the force that drives a couple apart.
-
Hidden due to low comment rating. Click here to see.
You are absolutely right. There are things you need to “test drive” before marriage. Can you work with them to solve problems? Can you get into disagreements and still love them? Do you have compatible philosophies and expectations about family dynamics and child-rearing?
Is “am I sexually compatible with this person?” one of these things? If it is, it must come after all of these other considerations have been satisfied, because the emotional bond that it forges is so strong that people tend to overlook other issues that will cause serious rifts later in the marriage. (These are the forces that drive couples apart – sex is just a symptom. The split is not about the sex unless the relationship was all about the sex.)
The honeymoon only lasts so long. To stay happy, you narrow down dating partners to people you can live with before introducing sex. The problem with the cartoon above is that the guy obviously doesn’t understand her, meaning they’ve probably known each other for a very short time and haven’t discussed these things.
You’re also presupposing that the “sexual compatibility” question is relevant to someone who (through conscious decision) has no other partners from which to draw comparisons. Sex is good. Can someone who hasn’t experimented with various ways of doing things have strictly-defined preferences? Or will two virgins experimenting together in a trusting environment not figure out how to satisfy each other when they are both committed to serving and sacrificing for the other?
There is a whole philosophy and paradigm behind a person’s decision to wait. You can’t evaluate that decision fairly if you don’t consider that they’re making it with a different paradigm.
-
Quick, sincere, not-trying-to-be-a-smartass question:
Are you married?
-
Yes, I’ve been married for ten years, happily, and yes, we both waited. Thanks for asking, as I suppose it is quite relevant to the discussion to know that I’m not speaking completely in hypotheticals; I appreciate the respectful conversation.
-
Quick, insincere, trying-to-be-a-smartass question:
Are you waiting involuntarily?
-
Ah, I see the problem here. You’re making a lot of assumptions about a cartoon drawing of a couple you don’t know jack shit about because they don’t exist. For all you know this could be their first date or it could be their 500th.
The only thing that is clear is that it is their last.
-
Yeah, I guess I should have made it more clear that what I’m critiquing is the cartoonist’s caricature of “that girl”. “That girl” actually does exist, but if she waits until the 500th date to tell guys this, she’s got some severe social problems and probably will end up an old maid.
I was just trying to flesh out the cartoonist’s caricature to make her more realistic. More than likely, if you start dating “that girl” in real life and she’s actually sincere in wanting to stay a virgin, she’ll tell you closer to the first date.
-
If she goes by “antiquated principles” in this, what else lies under the surface? Is she planning on beating her future children? Is she against drinking, gambling and watching TV past 5 o’clock in the afternoon?
Either she’s got a heck of a personality or I’m putting my eggs in another basket. And by that I mean “sperm in another female.”
-
Let’s just reword that:
“I’m sorry, I only want to have sex once all of our possessions and money are legally mutually owned.”
That’s just messed up and horribly materialistic, either that or it’s religiously motivated, and it can be rephrased as:
“I’m sorry, I don’t want to have sex yet because a magic man told me it was bad”.
-

It’s so easy to reduce the entirety of human motivations and belief systems to straw men.
Come on, I made a short list of her possible motivations precisely so you didn’t have to do that. I even invited people to attack them individually and not write them off. I don’t mind people disagreeing with me; don’t worry, I knew my thoughts would be unpopular.
By the way, I agree with your assessment of those straw men. Those are horrible motivations for anything.
-
But marriage IS just a legal contract to attach your possessions and money. Having a real, committed relationship can occur with or without it, and marrying somone doesn’t require a committed relationship.
If you haven’t had sex, then your relationship is still in the testing stage, you really don’t know each other -that- intimately yet. Unless sex isn’t ever going to be an important part of the relationship (not to dismiss that as invalid), then agreeing to marriage without having had sex is just foolhardy.
-
In response to your first paragraph, that’s a fair interpretation of commitment, and it may work for some people, but not for someone like this girl. In her mind, marriage has a deeper meaning. The act of taking vows will afford her much more emotional security, and any attempt to circumvent that will bring doubts. If a man loves her and is committed to her, why would he not be willing to sacrifice his position here and just make formal vows? In her mind, it’s because he’s not committed to keeping them. That is a deep communication problem that I can’t possibly hope to resolve on an internet forum with two hypothetical parties. All I could do would be to make some observations about the nature of sacrifice in healthy relationships, the importance of communication, etc..
I’ll make a generalization here and say that people who say they want to wait until marriage are the kind of people to whom marriage is synonymous with a committed relationship. Whether any given individual has the capacity to actually make their marriage work is a different discussion that doesn’t lend itself to generalizations.
As for your second point, you’re right: two people can’t be fully intimate without sex. But do you need to know a person completely before you can commit to them? What about before you can love them? I would say no, because complete understanding of another human being is a lifelong endeavor. All two people can do is make a calculated wager that they can make a relationship work, and this can be done without knowing the other fully — all that is really required is the combined wills of two people. A basic understanding of the other’s character and values is highly useful as well, but if, for example, you look at cultures where arranged marriage is the norm, that isn’t even the couple’s job, it’s the families’.
In western culture the romantic ideal makes us believe that love is necessary. It definitely helps. But two people can love each other before sex. Sex will strengthen that love, but sex will not create love (though it may create the illusion of love).
Relationships are complex. People are complex. If you’ve already had multiple partners, sleeping with someone before marriage probably is a necessity for you; I won’t argue with that. What I am arguing is that for someone who has consciously made the decision to wait (and therefore has no previous experience to compare to), sex before marriage is not necessary, and therefore someone who makes such a decision isn’t missing anything vital (to them) and is not foolhardy to place other concerns over something as meaningless (to them) as “sexual compatibility.”

To all you virgins: thanks for nothin’

This chicks beauty mark is fake. You’ll notice it’s gone when she’s an old maid. If she was being lying about that, what else was she hiding? Maybe she wasn’t a virgin at all, and had herpes? Looks like Daniel dodged a bullet.
Good on you Daniel, good on you.
-
In the alternate reality, he knocks her up and he’s gone anyway.
Whether you think it’s “Antiquated values” or no, the guy is the perfect caricature of a piece of shit, probably drawn by some douche who couldn’t charm his way into the water while standing on the shore.
He’s also the reason why single guys have to choose between meeting a girl and getting a herpes sore or meeting a girl and getting a 3 year-old. Both, mind you, equally shitty options.

So first Christians want you to believe in their god (because they don’t want to be alone in thinking magic is real), then they want you to worship.
The thing is, many Christians don’t see a difference between the two. I can see where people can believe in god, but I don’t see why they would worship him and sacrifice their dignity in the ordeal.

Ha ha. Yea, exactly. Look how badly he goofed the whole “don’t kill your neighbor” part, amirite?

You know what, I fucking hate my neighbours.

Everybody does. That’s why they made a commandment about it.

Yeah, because what did he mean by “kill?” And what about “neighbor?” Clearly the stone tablets aren’t enough.
Also he admits he’s not the only god around.
Such a goof!

I don’t hate god. I just hate the fanclub.

Nothing says “meaningless oversimplification” like squeezing a concept unto a shirt.
The shitty religious tone around here is palpable and the shitposting discussion, nonstop. This leads me to believe that MCS is the worst church ever.

Oh, so let me get this straight. Two midwestern nuts said something idiotic, so we vote for the socialist and send the businessman packing. Now the stock market is tanking, business are starting to lay off people because they know ObamaCare will poison their botton line, the fiscal cliff will make EVERYBODY’s taxes go up and the entire country will be broke in four years! Smart. Reealll Smart!Thanks for the input, Alec.
-
More idiot strawman arguments from the conservative loon. Face it, the American people saw through both your misogynistic attitudes and your fiscal fantasies. The fact is, the economy is recovering nicely, unemployment is dropping, Obama has reduced the debt and women CAN get pregnant from rape.
And yes, taxes are probably going back to pre-Bush levels to help pay off the cost of Bush’s wars and Congress’ deregulating the finance industry. Sorry, you play you gotta pay – you can’t just stick it to the poor this time.
-
You know who doesn’t think Obama’s a socialist? … Socialists.
Basically, calling Obama a socialist outs you either as an intellectual lightweight who uses charged buzzwords out of their context to undeservedly further your point, or as someone who’s just bitter that they can’t get away with saying “nigger” anymore.

-
That’s one sucky title, if I do say so myself.
-
The entire world had slaves 2000 years ago you stupid fuck.
-
Verily, the Lord did send his messengers down amongst the people, and they did say in one voice “Don’t ever change anything, if everyone is doing something bad, that’s ok. The entire world has slaves, you stupid fucks.”
-
Yeah, it’s not like a god would know better than anyone else, right?
-
There is not a sentence in the New Testament which expressly forbids downloading and watching porn torrents.
Stupid logic that guy has.
And not everyone had slaves. Only some regions engaged in it and some of those regions still do.
-
Dude, I’ll bet you have a huge stockpile of shit you googled while you were yelling at me.
One guy saying the bible says something doesn’t mean the bible says that.
Even when that guy is you.
I still think some christian girl you dated once banged the football team or something. You really have a chip on your shoulder.
-
Fact 1: the bible doesn’t condemn slavery.
Fact 2: the bible tells you how to treat slaves (which strongly implies that it is in favor of slavery, obviously).
Fact 3: Jesus had a great chance to condemn slavery on the sermon on the mount, but forgot to in all his wisdom.
-
“Fact 1: the bible doesn’t condemn slavery.”
the abolitionism movement also took its mandate from the bible.
“Fact 2: the bible tells you how to treat slaves”
it also tells you how to prepare your meat and textiles. Not a lot of bible-thumpers out there claiming that vegetarians and people that wear cotton/poly blends are going to hell.
“Fact 3: Jesus had a great chance to condemn slavery on the sermon on the mount, but forgot to in all his wisdom.”
this is childish logic. ‘But Mom, you didn’t specifically state that I could’t have chocolate cake for breakfast, so….’
-
The Abolitionist movement was comprised of a bunch of religious people, but don’t go saying they took their mandates from the Bible on abolition. That’s like saying they made a great cake by following a recipe for pie.
As for 2 and 3, you can’t have it both ways. Either the Bible is the infallible word of God, or it’s a human text. If it’s the word of God, then stop wearing jeans. If it’s a human text, then realize that everything in it, like the proper ways to treat slaves, can be thrown out.
-
What he said.
Also: “the abolitionism movement also took its mandate from the bible.”
Guess where the other side got their backing from?
-
Yes, actually, the vast majority of abolitionists did cite their religious views as the primary reason or at least the justification for their relatively extreme position (extreme for a society that was, even in its most progressive corners, institutionally racist).
And yeah, sure, a lot has been thrown out of the bible, and rightfully so. It was written by primitive and ignorant people. That doesn’t mean that it is devoid of truth. That doesn’t mean that “god”, for lack of a better concept, had nothing to do with writing it.
Why the fuck does everything have to be so all or nothing with you people?
-
“Guess where the other side got their backing from” – Slavery predates christianity. Slavery predates civilization. Which was the more radical position at the time?
Christianity didn’t invent empathy. But to end the institution of slavery without it would’ve required people as a society to decide that something that people had always been doing was all of a sudden the wrong thing to do because… why? I mean, there are any number of reasons it was wrong, but those reasons were always there.
Once, again, you guys are just pointing out how useful christianity has been to human social development.
-
“It was written by primitive and ignorant people. That doesn’t mean that it is devoid of truth. That doesn’t mean that “god”, for lack of a better concept, had nothing to do with writing it.”
I guess we agree that your god is primitive and ignorant then.
I’d venture to say that all texts contain some truth. Heck, there’s more and better moral lessons in most children’s fiction than in the bible, and without the R-rated stuff.
There’s nothing written in that book that requires divine inspiration.
-
“Once, again, you guys are just pointing out how useful christianity has been to human social development.”
And you point out how useless Jesus is in comparison to people that actually exist.
-
First of all, you’re spraying spittle all over the place. At this point none of your arguments are rising very far above the level of ‘christianity SUX!!!1!! stoopid redneck!’
Second, I agree, lessons can be found everywhere. I hope the Jedi religion is the next scientology someday. Much better lessons to be learned.
But your assertion that nothing in the bible required divine inspiration is, once again, purely theoretical, and pretty myopic. You base all your pronouncements from the perspective of the very moral structure that religion had a strong hand in molding.
Jesus the man, as portrayed in the bible, minus all the supernatural stuff, would be a pretty non-controversial figure in the present day. People would consider his moral code very reasonable.
But remember, in his time he was considered a radical. His ideas dangerous, even illegal. It’s easy for you to say now that its common sense.
-
“But your assertion that nothing in the bible required divine inspiration is, once again, purely theoretical, and pretty myopic.”
Nothing in there exceeds what a peasant could have come up with. But if you want to set very low standard for your god, then go right ahead.
“would be a pretty non-controversial figure in the present day. People would consider his moral code very reasonable.”
Like living like tomorrow wouldn’t exist? I wonder if that could have any bad consequences.
“But remember, in his time he was considered a radical. His ideas dangerous, even illegal. It’s easy for you to say now that its common sense.”
And we’ve already established that some of those radical (gotta love that word with an exclamation mark after it) things predated him by several hundred years. I guess even Yahweh needs inspiration from mortals, right?
-
“Nothing in there exceeds what a peasant could have come up with. But if you want to set very low standard for your god, then go right ahead.” – Once again, all you have is ‘could have’. I’m talking about what actually happened. And Jesus was a ‘peasant’. It wouldn’t have been as powerful a movement if he had been a powerful figure.
“Like living like tomorrow wouldn’t exist? I wonder if that could have any bad consequences.” – That doesn’t make any sense. The whole point of his message was for people to stop living solely for themselves.
“(gotta love that word with an exclamation mark after it)”<–wtf are you talking about?
"…predated him by several hundred years. I guess even Yahweh needs inspiration from mortals, right?" – No it works the other way around. Presumably 'Yahweh' wouldn't be subject to linear time since he would have invented it. It seems like you are having a difficult time wrapping your head around these concepts. Try to find other sources for your knowledge of christianity, besides cartoons.
-
“Once again, all you have is ‘could have’. I’m talking about what actually happened.”
So if I say “it really happened that way” would that make my argument stronger? Or do I get bonus points for not claiming to know things I can’t?
“That doesn’t make any sense. The whole point of his message was for people to stop living solely for themselves.”
So you don’t believe he thought the world would end soon? He certainly seemed to think so.
“No it works the other way around. Presumably ‘Yahweh’ wouldn’t be subject to linear time since he would have invented it. It seems like you are having a difficult time wrapping your head around these concepts. Try to find other sources for your knowledge of christianity, besides cartoons.”
Oh, I know how Christians believe all these things are true, but if we discuss the things we can prove have an actual impact on the world (unlike your god) then we have to go by what men did.
Sure, you can always use the argument “my god travelled back in time and spread his wisdom using other religions and non-Christians, thus making it appear that my message isn’t divine at all, but very much human. PS: I’m not a very clever god.” but that won’t get you anywhere.
“Try to find other sources for your knowledge of christianity, besides cartoons.”
I read the bible. I’ve read Christian apologetics. I’ve discussed with lots of Christians. I’ve been to church (LDS, and JW churches as well as “normal” ones). I’ve watched debates. I’d read whatever book you got your religion from, but I stay away from that New Age crap.

I thought it was we Christians who were supposed to be constantly pushing our be lief on others. There sure seem to be a ton of atheists on here pushing this crap on everyone.
Hmmm…
-
Everyone who has a belief pushes it. It’s human nature, it seems.
-
Christianity has received all manner of legal and civil privilege for decades. They’re the first to brag about the wonderful religious freedoms in America when people of other religions complain about mistreatment, but wont hesitate to cry “DESCRIMINATION!” when there’s the tiniest legal or civil push against anything Church-related.
And now, more than they have in a long time, Christian lawmakers are moving a slough of Christ-based law into the US, be it against Gay Marriage, Contraception, Abortion, Liquor sales, or what-have-you.
A lot of Atheists used to respectfully sit back on these matters – turn the other cheek, if you will. But now we’re sick of Christian privilege, and we’re ready to drop our Religious sensitivity, because being quiet, respectful, and staying out of Christian business, is a favor that is NOT being returned to us by Christian organisations, lawmakers, and voters.
-
I think the gay marriage laws have mostly been around for awhile now, haven’t they?
But I agree with your sentiment.
-
Mostly, yes. But Minnesota is voting on a state amendment against Gay Marriage this month, one of the Carolinas passed a new state-wide ban earlier this year, Prop 8 passed in Cali only four years ago…
They’re still pushing it, and they always fall back on “The Bible says that marriage is between a man and a woman” so it’s completely fair to say that they’re still pushing the Bible onto us through law.
(That was my post you replied to, BTW – I didn’t see that I wasn’t logged in)

Your gravatar reminds me of an idea we had in a game of of 13th Age (like D&D). Elves drink beverages that they make themselves (think about it). They attach ropes to their horses, and since they are so thin, their cloaks act as kites and they fly in the air instead of riding the horse. Then there are Elven fire brigades. They use their beverage production unit to put out fires while kiting.

Every action has an equal and opposite reaction. Christians push their beliefs, atheists push back. But I shouldn’t expect a Christian to know a lot about physics, except “Newton was totally a Christian, too, so there.”

Pushing beliefs != Stating Facts
-
Why couldn’t a christian who believes God wants us to make our own miracles make the above picture? Or someone who believes in another deity?
-
Because it implies an unnecessary god.

Coooooooooooooooooooooooooool man. Your wit has again carried the day! Bravo! Hip hip hooray! Whoop de fucken doooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!

I thought it was we Christians who were supposed to be constantly pushing our be lief on others. There sure seem to be a ton of atheists on here pushing this crap on everyone.
Hmmm…
-
Everyone who has a belief pushes it. It’s human nature, it seems.
-
Christianity has received all manner of legal and civil privilege for decades. They’re the first to brag about the wonderful religious freedoms in America when people of other religions complain about mistreatment, but wont hesitate to cry “DESCRIMINATION!” when there’s the tiniest legal or civil push against anything Church-related.
And now, more than they have in a long time, Christian lawmakers are moving a slough of Christ-based law into the US, be it against Gay Marriage, Contraception, Abortion, Liquor sales, or what-have-you.
A lot of Atheists used to respectfully sit back on these matters – turn the other cheek, if you will. But now we’re sick of Christian privilege, and we’re ready to drop our Religious sensitivity, because being quiet, respectful, and staying out of Christian business, is a favor that is NOT being returned to us by Christian organisations, lawmakers, and voters.
-
I think the gay marriage laws have mostly been around for awhile now, haven’t they?
But I agree with your sentiment.
-
Mostly, yes. But Minnesota is voting on a state amendment against Gay Marriage this month, one of the Carolinas passed a new state-wide ban earlier this year, Prop 8 passed in Cali only four years ago…
They’re still pushing it, and they always fall back on “The Bible says that marriage is between a man and a woman” so it’s completely fair to say that they’re still pushing the Bible onto us through law.

New meaning to the term “curb stomp”.

More like “curb chomp“, amirite?!?
-
The only and only possible sound these ever make going down the street is “crunch crunch crunch”
-
I was thinking, “Om nom nom nom”
-
I guess they just eat up the miles.
