Quote

Yes

Quote

They are not forced

Quote

Did you know that men typically die younger?

I guess so

Telling, Abdul.  Care to actually answer the question asked?  He didn't ask if they were forced.

Do you people like getting trolled by abdul, or is it ignorance?

I like Abdul. He's polite in his trolling.

It tends to divert attention away from good discussions to dealing with his massive copypastas. It's still rape if you thank me after fucking my ass...or do this ^_~

Whatever. I still like him and thats all that matters, bitch.

Nobody else but Wardogg has managed to annoy me.  I value emotion.

I am sorry because I didn't understand his question, if you mean that they will be punished if they didn't marry or they are encouraged to get married please continue reading because I will answer based of my understanding of the question.

In Islam marriage is recommended and specially for those who have sex desires because if they are not married most likely they will be like most Non-Muslims they will fall into Zena (Arabic Word used for sexual intercourse between persons not married to each other) and this is considered a sin in Islam. Still if the man doesn't have the sex desire and he have all it takes to get married it's also recommended to marry because by doing this he will be following what Prophet Mohammed recommended us and his actions which we call (Sunnah).

and peace shall be on him who follows the guidance.

They speak to you of easing your pain as they point to the rack they have you stretched upon, pulling your mind in one direction and your body in another.

We are, first and foremost, animals.  While we seem to be overly impressed with our opposable thumbs and limited capacity for reason, we are still biological creatures with inherent instincts to procreate.  Add to this that sex is about as much fun as one can have, and it is no wonder the guilt inspired by religion's embargo on the very act tears many religious people to shreds.

It is just part of a system designed to make you into a good little producer.  Continue with your worker bee subsistence, drone.  Keep those tithes coming!

Jesus Crotch, did I understand the question that was asked correctly? If yes thanks god.

This is a hypothesis of mine regarding why religion makes sense - that is to say, why it is self-consistent and, if one accepts the fact that God can violate the laws of nature, a sensible belief system. I say nothing of its truth here, although if it is true this hypothesis becomes unnecessary.

Throughout recorded history, people have believed in various Gods and practised various religions. However, people would tend to reject those religions that sounded like total nonsense, and accept those which were (comparatively) sensible, in general terms. Thus, by a process of memetic evolution, we have ended up with lots of small cults believing in highly irrational things, and a few mainstream religions which are comparatively mild and reasonable.

Advocates of religion often mistake its self-consistency for truth, but now we see a way in which a false religion may become more self-consistent than any story written over the course of just a few years, simply by evolving over several millenia.

allow me to simplify.

religion makes sense because it does. and because the bible says that god made everything and gay marrige is bad.

I am an atheist. Nice try, though.

Religion is not necessarily theistic.

No, belief in a god or gods is not necessary for a religion.
