vapor-lash:Well, its not that it ignores other types, it just regards sex as something exclusive to romance. Just for the record, I love my family and friends and pets (fuzzy friends) too, and am still friends with a few people who either have lifestyles I dont approve of or have made many bad judgements. They havent hurt others. However, I was friends with someone who I thought was great, but she ended up doing things that were hurtful to her bf. At least, they would be, if she hadnt lied about them. Shes pregnant now and as far as I know, he still knows nothing.
Ahh, marriage. Observing how people treat marriage now, Ive come to believe that marriage should be a) an expression of your love and commitment to someone and the desire to remain together forever and b) a legal document changing a couple's monetary situation. Since marriage is an expression of that, I could never wrap my head around the logic of people waiting til the papers are signed to have sex, because sex is an expression of the love thats already there and... yeah, one big circle. You have to fall in love first to get married, and that takes a lot longer, so logically, wouldnt sex come FIRST? Not like you cant divorce people after sex anyway. Like so many other things, marriage is a good thing, but it never stops people from giving it the astrology treatment ("ancient art and science" to "hokey fortune-telling device" -LG).
Like most other things I see the truth somewhere in the middle. Like this I guess: We cant expect perfection, but we cant stop striving for it either. Maybe that makes sense. This is making me think of the id, ego and superego. Haha, poor ego, having to pacify three conflicting parties at once.
Oh bah, **** Christianity xD Thats one thing I wont tiptoe around, even to my own mom. Though, shes the passive type of Christian that believes and goes to church about every other Sunday, but other than that never really thinks about it. For passive ones its only slightly more important than, say, table manners. I mean, Jesus was awesome, but thats pretty much it. The remnants of good teachings that remain in the bible are great too. Its too bad theyre right next to BS and the followers of that religion pick and choose what parts they want to believe in or twist, whenever its convenient.
Its alright I figured maybe if I explained myself it would clarify things a bit. Sometimes it works, and sadly, sometimes it doesnt. Im glad it did, though. I understand what you saw, I just dont see the same thing, and I knew some would have differing impressions. But now Im really curious if someone here bought it >.< Why must I be insatiably curious?
