Lots of folks want to make excuses for poor behavior. Is society better served by a 2 parent household? Is society better served by those 2 people staying together? Societal pressure to stay loyal and true to your mate isn’t just a way for the man to get more money from you or a way for the church to insert itself into your life. I cohabitated with one woman, and it’ll haunt me to my grave. My wife and I moved in together once we were engaged 22 years ago and she hasn’t left yet.  Nothing wrong with that, but if things go south You should be able to leave without paying a bunch of people to do it. I'm going to divorce my old lady after the first of the year, which will cost 2000 more or less. why should we have to be out that money, I'd rather her have it than a lawyer.

Organized religion, is about money first and foremost, the Catholic church in point. How much money do you think is donated to charity by folks who belong to an "organized religion" vs folks who do not?

The list of scheit I’m going to hell for is long and fairly comprehensive. Premarital cohabitation is waaaaaay down the list. I like that. If there is a heaven or hell, or God(s)there is n o evidence in evidence. "Faith" is believing in something with no evidence. If it bobs your cork, and does no harm (extremists excluded) go for it. Just don't nag me about it.

Only bible I know about was KJV
This was a bible that a king had written to suit him .
You can say it however you want to .
But I’m sure head games were mixed in for insecurity reasons and maintaining the subjects .
Stx first post was on the money for the most part .
One that I fall back on is the Holy Ghost was left as a comforter and a convictor.
Which means to me , a conscience.
You feel comfort from doing the right thing and conviction for not doing the right thing .
We all know when we are crossing the line .
Marriage I figure was an insecurity , control , and money issue .
Seek your on salvation comes into play here also .
Don’t need no fancy church or lying ass or brain washed oreacher telling me what’s up and wasting another day of my life

This stuff is not rocket science... Back in old testament times and before, a man and woman would hook up with someone they could trust so they could survive. They needed each other to survive and have offspring, so they stayed together. Then came organized religion and governments. A woman nowadays will leave her husband for another that makes more money, because money is everything now.

In this case, the words of Matthew 7-1 seem like good advice to follow.

How much money do you think is donated to charity by folks who belong to an "organized religion" vs folks who do not? You threaten someone with eternity in a river of fire unless they give, they tend to open the pocketbook. If it wasn’t for the falsehood of paying your way out of hell, it would be a lot less giving!

Why is religion so obsessed with sex? Pretty obvious. Sex Power Money. Maybe you could add to the list, but those three drive most sins/problems/crimes. Whatever you want to call it. Murder, envy, theft...... The 10 Commandments, the whole criminal code. A huge part of it is centered on money, sex, power. Money and pűssy. If they didn't exist, men would have no problems. If they didn't exist, what would men have to live for?
Parents who say they have good kids..Usually don't!

Her only fault is me.

The 10 Commandments for the most part are what you should follow not a church.
