A wife Led Marriage

[Farbin Kaiber]

This thread has shaken my religious and sexual ideas to their very core. Am I a better, or a worse man for having read all this?

Oh, and it wasn't the wife's box, it was her potatoes being mashed. Sometimes if it's a big meal, there are a lot of potatoes to mash. Gotta get in there and work them over.

Wait a minute... You quoted ancient Greece which started roughly 600BC, but the story of the first marriage and the institution of marriage was created with Adam and Eve roughly 3800BC

Who was the one that was uneducated...?

hahahahahaha! seriously?

so, how old is the Earth again? roughly 5000 years, right? :|

That's a bold claim, because do far: living on a feminized society, I can't see any benefit to being a man. Frankly, it's become so bad,em can't even discuss their problems without being labels chauvinistic. THAT'S sad.

Proof?

I'm sorry your life as a man sucks so much but that doesn't mean it does for the rest of us..

^I hate the stigma that just because you are religious, you think humans roamed with the dinosaurs, and the earth is 6,000 years old. The two are not synonymous.

Ok, this was pretty damn hilarious.

I just don't get how you pick and choose what parts to believe, some is literal, some is metaphorical.........I can't understand it.

[Farbin Kaiber]

^That has nothing to do with it. There is no picking and choosing. It's an "old deal" to "new deal" type of situation, all the rules(The Law) for the old generations no longer apply, now it's One rule, not all sorts of "Laws". The old stuff is an example of how impossible the old "Law" was, and why Jesus came, to fulfill the otherwise impossible laws. So now the only rule is believing in Him.

I think you're better having read it. Shaking your sexual ideas to the core is a sure fire way to get a good mashing.

Will there ever be 2 potatoes?

A few years ago I read a very interesting article in Time magazine, called "The Myth About Boys". It was a cover story actually. Here is a link to it:

http://isites.harvard.edu/fs/docs/icb.topic443751.files/TimeMagazine_072607.pdf

It's a very interesting read that explores the differences in boy and girl upbringing, our improvements over the last 30 years, and potential issues of a female oriented education system.

Anyway, I read this article back in 2007 and it has something that has stuck with me enough to come to mind in this thread. Especially when earlier in this thread it was mentioned that men are portrayed by our society today as inferior.

I think regardless of our beliefs or motives, we all should be able to agree on the fact that men and women are different from one another. If you don't agree with that beyond your genitals, you can start by reading about the endocrine system and how differences in that can account for differences in behavior. You can continue your educational journey from there with the nervous system and its facets, and so on and so forth. This is a fact. But don't mistake being different as inequality.

Point is if one gender (generally speaking) is better at certain things then the other, it doesn't mean that they should be limited to those roles only, but it also doesn't mean that acknowledging those things makes one a sexist either. And the differences between the sexes don't have to be all encompassing or set in stone.

Getting to my point concerning this thread: A marriage can be successful when two people embrace their differences, realize their shortcomings, and use their each individual strengths for the common good of their family unit. However you determine your personal roles, if the end result is good and both people are happy, that is all that matters.

I have always felt that the following is really something useful to live by concerning any sort of a relationship (whether it be romantic or not):

"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails."

The world would be a better place if we treated each other in the same way.

I think as a society we should all focus on getting along and moving forward. It is not important what the other person believes and what you think about that. And I am directing that comment at both sides of the camp. Everyone has faith in something in some way, shape, or form.

You guys need to stop putting the pu$$y on a pedestal.

I have a good friend who constantly puts the pu$$y on a pedestal, and it has led to one terrible relationship after another. I keep telling him to man up, but no matter what I or other friends say, he always becomes the "women" on the relationship. I think some guys just don't have the balls to control a relationship.

How did this thread become about religion anyways, who the waffleswaffleswaffleswaffles goes to church still??

[Redfox]

Why anyone argues over religion is ridiculous. Athiests get more butthurt than Christians to support their claims, beliefs, etc. I have a relationship with god. At a point in time I was atheist entirely. I've had two extremely deep and personal experiences that reconfirmed my beliefs and faith. I, however, do not attend church. I believe we have a maker. I don't believe in a few thousand year old book that preaches one tune that can't be true today- being a virgin and having sex before marriage =being stoned to death, or being around a woman on her period is a sin, unclean, having oral sex is a sin, or sex on your period, whatever. I highly doubt our maker is so petty.

I believe you shouldn't steal, rape, murder, molest kids or waffleswaffleswaffleswaffles animals, etc etc. Common sense morality shit. I pray. I believe in God, an afterlife, and hell and evil. I try to be the best person I can be. We are human. We make error. But regardless many of the the scriptures aren't applicable to today's society or world. Man wrote them. We are imperfect and make error.

Do I share that I believe in god? Absolutely. Am I ashamed? Not at all. If you aren't interested in hearing it, then that's fine. It's your life and choices. Not my problem. If your atheist it should be the same regards. Don't waste your time trying to prove anyone is wrong on their faith, keep it to yourself if they don't want to hear it. Life's short and moves too quickly. Arguing the unknown will never have an answer, only opinions. And you know what they say about opinions... They're like a$$holes, every one has one.

Hmmm, seems as though the New Testament could have been a bit more brief, no?

But wait, which version of the New Testament? Which translation? Which books to include or not include?

Either way, I know plenty of people who don't need the thread of eternal damnation for not loving him (God has major ego issues for being all-powerful and all-knowing).

[Farbin Kaiber]

Well, I read the KJV, but I also use the Strong's Concordance to look back to the original Greek and Hebrew words used to see the meanings further back than when the KJV modified things a bit more.

hahahahahaha! seriously?
So, how old is the Earth again? roughly 5000 years, right? :|

I'm sorry your life as a man sucks so much but that doesn't mean it does for the rest of us..

I never stated such claims, nor is it right for your to force feed me an answer. Mockery gets you very little respect in the subject of debate. All I gave was my opinion and statement of facts as I have found them to be true. Unless you have any substantial evidence against me, you have no argument


Unless of course... Youre only here to publically mock me for my beliefs.. Which is.. Wait a minute! Discrimination?
