This is about as nuanced an opinion as I'd expect from a wrestling fan. Did your pastor teach it to you at Sunday school or some cringey counselor at Bible camp? Maybe it's just one of those things that redneck families instill in their kids in-between teaching them how to spit tobacco and the dangers of black people.

I say celebrate your love by loving, not a piece of paper.

What is your point? Love doesn't exist? If that's your point then just stop talking to me about this cause we'll go in circles all day.

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

So you picked the one without the prize at the end. Big deal.

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.

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.
