This post is a straw man.

You can have a loving relationship outside of what you think of as "old fashioned". To think that there is only one path to a successful relationship, and that said path is ordained by "God" (ironically the same God whose book he inspired consistently urges the subjugation of women) is reductive and ignorant of the vast realm of types of relationships that can make both individuals happy.

Well it doesn't have to be a marriage I was talking about a relationship were two people love each other.

Oh shut the **** up. It goes from the idea of two people loving and committed to each other to you taking an unnecessary swipe at Christianity? How is that different from the DC forum habit of turning political disagreements with Obama into swipes at Black people, you hypocrite?

Phobia brought up Christianity and Hamas' post was in direct reply to Phobia.

I don't know exactly what that is supposed to mean but I have a feeling I know what you mean by it.

Speaking of straw men, last I checked "part of the problem" isn't the same as "the single explanation for why every relationship succeeds or fails."

Because nowhere in that post was "That's the way it was meant to be.", and that's not a singular explanation whatsoever.
