Marriage is a man owning a woman? I think there are a lot of people who would object to that. This isn't the middle ages.

For one thing, now a man can own another man according to some movements!

I said not my opinion.
But marrage came from a time were it is that, ownership.
Calm it... breath in then out

My opinion on marrage is its a waste of money and will not itself generate true happiness.

Please dont twist my words. I dont like it

I'm not angry at you and I didn't mean to twist your words, sorry.

That's... Umm that's not right at all... Not anymore

Marriage (in a Christian sense) is a relationship between a man and a woman. The man does have a 'head of the household' position it doesn't make him an owner in any way. Women keep their rights as humans in a marriage.
I do not agree with marriage being a man owning a woman in the slightest and I think very few people would say that's what it is

[Descan]

Marriage at points was used as a contractual obligation, a political thing. And in more misogynistic areas, where women were already treated like objects, it could be considered a man "owning" a woman. But the woman was already "owned" by her father, so it wasn't marriage doing it. And the less prosperous you were, the less political/contractual the marriage process was.

I thought we were talking about now .-.

[Bohandas]

Perspirational?

Like in the background of an exercise video.

And on the subject of Ecclesiastes,

"Meaningless! Meaningless! Everything is meaningless" -Ecclesiastes 1:1

That's my other favorite quote from Ecclesiastes.

[That Wolf]

It is forgiven.
And im sorry that the truth hurts.
Yeah I dont agree with ownership either.
But it still happens.
And many people know marrage as that. Can you say youv never heard of a cow being given as payment for the daughter. To basicly get rid of her.
Its fucking sad but true.

Yes Bohandas! You got it. Finaly
We have a winner.

He was. I was basically saying "that may have true from a certain point of view in the past, but not anymore."

My english is terrible. Try to read it carefuly before I get disected for experimental fun.

What do we think of the ancient astronauts? You know the one where it is said beings geneticly modified us for use as slaves? Any one have any info or actually believe in it. I know alot of people can pick some holes in religions pointing to evidence of it being real, something about ancient sumarians (I think they where the first big civ)
Its interesting and could explain the general back pains humans get.

Go on hang me for saying this

Eeeeh... whut? How is that... I mean... what the hell does that prove? You'd expect genetically engineered slaves to be *good* at carrying stuff.

If anything, it's a pretty decent piece of evidence towards humans' ancestors moving like modern-day monkeys - the transition to upright, bipedal movement meant that the bone structure originally optimized for an entirely different mode of movement is suddenly put under more strain than it was supposed to, hence back pain.

[That Wolf]

Oh yeah its crazy. I agree, the back pain part was about earths gravity.
I havnt a clue on how evolution works (exept in pokemon) but wouldnt back pain be nonexistant if we did evolve to stand up?
meh I dont know anything.
Just suggesting other religions.. well other than the bible or qu'ran

[Cryxis, Prince of Doom]

IIRC some people say ancient astronauts were people from the future with time travel that went back in time

I thought it was a bit insane, history Chanel has the show ancient aliens and they talk about them sometimes so I'm info on them is very muttled

[That Wolf]

I thought it was a bit insane

Yeah I agree.

But we both agree the reptilians are real right!

[TD1]

Yes. Reptiles exist.
