Not that love doesn't exist, but that the modern, romcom view of love is Hallmark card bull****. The entire reason love exists is to encourage procreation, so it in itself is basically an evolutionary contract, and not some shiny, sparkly gift from god that should be treated as sacred and eternal.

As to the rest of your comments, I'm Jewish you retarded monkey.

Replace pastor with rabbi, Sunday school with... Saturday school I guess, and Bible camp with Torah camp. I mean, let's be honest, in America there really isn't much difference between Christians and Jews besides the fro.

Also, inheritance and hospital visitation/decision making rights type stuff.

It used to be the other way around. They called it a dowry.

This isn't against long term relationships ftr, it's just a pointless symbol that a lot of people don't realize that they can shake.

Or so your kids don't get called bastards.

You saying god exists? Cos if that's so, I'll fight you. AND I'll lose. But I'll fight you anyway.

That's why I didn't capitalize "god".

A bunch of adult (I think) ugly dudes who still live at home and don't have girlfirends trying to lecture about love and marriage as negative ideals.

Ok.

I have more girlfriends than you do mate. Still has no bearing on how marriage is as archaic as circumcision and honour killings. You can love someone just as much without the government having a role in it.

I've seen pictures of you. I'm sure all of your GFs are quite lovely.

Honestly, looks are only half of the game (so that means I'm half finished before I start). I figured you'd understand that.

I also want to let you know that I'm holding back a savage joke per your whiny requests. Commend me.

So, pretty much your entire view point is the same as mine and your angry about that? I don't believe in god, but I don't see anything wrong with calling marriage a celebration of love. I do have an issue when people want to still live in a world where marriage is viewed as nothing more than buying of property.

In judaism we have a thing for teen jews that get together on the weekend. It's not really about religion as it is about helping your community. Torah camp? I mean we have this thing when we turn 18 they pay for us to spend a summer in Israel... I guess that's the closest thing. Are you talking about hebrew school? That's more about learning a language rather then learning about god...

Frownland trying to put himself on the same level as Lemmy in regards to women? Screw feeling sorry for you. I'm going to just stick to laughing.
