I went back to where the original post that talked about rape of children being committed only by those who did not have some god and his light by JT. Stupid remarks like that just get me righteously ticked off. His whole rambling monologue is just too funny to pass up. I have seen fifth graders with a better understanding of basic science than this diatribe. And his religious lesson? Makes me think he needs some guidance in catechism 101 or hell flunk the class again again.
BTW, your thing about marriage? You are wrong. Marriage has always been a social contract and even if the gods were invoked to grant fertility, this did not make it a religious ceremony but a civil contract between families concerning pooling of power and resources. Religion was a peripheral or non-intruding addition. If you had ever studied religions you would know that. Also, regarding the beginning of time, there were no people around. We came much later, so dont get ahead of yourself.
and the day will never come when religious myths [do] Evolution in since it is not possible to disprove science with fairy tales.
now, how then do you explain all those god-fearing men who rape children? Did they forget to pay the light bill? And the thing about mating season? Who cancelled ovulation since yesterday? We might not have seasons, but we are able and willing to mate and multiply every month. Granted, I would prefer if we were only fertile once or twice a year too, cuts down on the cost of being female not just because of the mess, but also because for some of us it is a painful event, and the hassle of tampons ...~ Christianity = acknowledging God through the LIGHT, or Word, or IMAGE of himself which he had provided; is the only reason people do not rape children, that you have any rights, that you are not eaten, and that humans do not have a sexual mating season like every other animal known to exist. { because we are meant to apply restraint and reason to our actions to show respect to each other and the universal laws.
Every religion since the beginning of Time states, be married.

Well, you were rambling from the get-go.but now I'm rambling.
The first 4 days did Evolution in, but only after it was permitted time to disgrace itself.
