Actually he was incorrect. The point I was originally making was that in the "good ole days" it was common for men to be tyrants at home and it was accepted and condoned by society. If you beat your wife to a pulp then she just put on more makeup, some sunglasses, and all was okay. This was generally passed father to son so in a sense I was "saved" when my mother broke the cycle before my father could influence me. I have no "rage" for my father because you can't have anger for someone you never knew. It's a common myth amongst CC's that the past was better than the present but only because they don't really examine what the past consisted of. We lived in a world where we either ignored or hid the ugliness so often the reality was more grotesque than exists today. The same horrors of today existed in the past we simply pretended not to notice. Women had a******ns, men beat wives, spouses c***ted on each other, r****m was rampant, and gays existed at the same rate they do today. It wasn't a beautiful world simply a world where we pretended the ugliness didn't exist. If any rage existed in my post its at the ignorance that wants to go back to a social construct that was worse than we have today...

Bull. This isn't born out by statistics nor logic. Rush isn't secular. The countless numbers of CC's who've divorced, many multiple times, aren't secular. Being forced to stay with someone by religious stigmatism and constraints is less successful than for those who stay together out of an original love and a commitment to each other. It's the south and mid-west--bastions for CC's--who led the nation in the highest divorce rates in the country. I would submit that it is more likely for CC's to marry out of lust--because sexuality is suppressed--than for those more sexually progressive and who are more likely to marry out of love and commitment to their mate. CC marriages fail at a higher rate because sex, not love, was at the center of the union. When the sexual attraction subsides the marriage fails--that is my opinion of course...

In every complex life form the most common form of sexual behavior would be considered rape in humans, in that the female does not have to consent. In many species of social animal a new male coming int the pack k**ls the offspring of other males if they are still nursing from their mothers, so that all females can be bred to the new male. In most species young that have any unsoundness, blind, deaf, growing too slowly, brain damaged ect will be k**led or abandoned. while I know that the "progressives" want the same to be true for humans plus the willingness to abandon older members so that they die and to not cost pack resources is the norm for animals, but not yet legal in humans. Most homosexual behavior in animals is a form of social control. don't forget that polygamy is also the norm, and that mating or attempting to mate with immature young is also the norm.oh wait, all that describes the desires of the progressive humans I take it back, the left does want humans to have the same "standards" as the monkey don't they. God Help Us
