By the way, just from a pure logic point of view, whether a worldwide flood happened or not (no indications at all that it did), it wouldn't prove the existence of god. It would only prove that the claim reported in the folk tale which is now a part of the Bible did happen. It would not prove WHY.

After all, there are also stories in there saying that several times, god ordered genocide against some non-chosen people group. Although there is evidence of many people fighting over the millennia, there is no proof that said genocides occurred, and again, even if there were a graveyard with a sign on it saying "these are the entire population of the nation of whomever, mass murdered at the order of god, " it would no more prove that god did order the deed, than all the modern day claims that fanatics make after they murder innocent people in the name of god.

WINSTON CHURCHILL ON ISLAM - IN 1899!

“How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism lays on its votaries! Besides the fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia in a dog, there is this fearful fatalistic apathy. The effects are apparent in many countries. Improvident habits, slovenly systems of agriculture, sluggish methods of commerce, and insecurity of property exist wherever the followers of the Prophet rule or live. A degraded sensualism deprives this life of its grace and refinement; the next of its dignity and sanctity.

The fact that in Mohammedan law every woman must belong to some man as
his absolute property, either as a child, a wife, or a concubine, must
delay the final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased
to be a great power among men. Individual Moslems may show splendid
qualities - but the influence of the religion paralyses the social
development of those who follow it. No stronger retrograde force exists
in the world. Far from being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and
proselytizing faith. It has already spread throughout Central Africa,
raising fearless warriors at every step; and were it not that Christianity
is sheltered in the strong arms of science, the science against which it
had vainly struggled, the civilization of modern Europe might fall, as fell
the civilization of ancient Rome.”

-Sir Winston Churchill (The River War, first edition, Vol. II, pages
248-50 (London: Longmans, Green & Co., 1899).

CHRONICALLY UNEMPLOYED AND UNDEREDUCATED,

and instead of looking for a woman to take care of you

you figure out the means and the know how

to start doing things for yourself

have you tried filling out FAFSA and getting some training so
that perhaps you are better qualified for a job?



or...have you just decided to give up?

Yeah, I think men are the biggest idiots in that scenario ..
I have a cousin who after his divorce with a spicy woman figured he'd best go for a young girl. Easy to shape to his needs etc. Right. Sure it went that way at first, the girl was only 17, he was 30, 32. But then she grew up and boy was he in for a shock, hahaha.
They almost broke up, she had a serious affair, about to leave him. He came to realise that he truly loved her and didn't want to lose her. And he had to fight like F to win her back. So much for a young, meek girl!

Apart from all that, I suppose a younger woman makes them feel more masculine. Again that status thing "Look what I've achieved!!"
Maybe if men worked through their issues after divorce, they'd find that a woman closer to their own age and from their own culture would make them much happier.
Men often don't work through the pain from divorce, they jump right into the next relationship. Often make sure they got a replacement at the ready before they dump the missus.

Maybe a similar thing goes for divorced career women? Too busy and too disconnected from their feminine side to work through the pain from divorce properly? Then maybe going for a younger bloke, thinking that'll be easier and maybe even a little ego, as career woman are driven by so much masculine energy and thus sensitive to status.

All in all I think there's a huge problem area for many single woman in their 40s and 50s in finding a new partner. Men their age often prefer to go for younger women OR they aren't emotionally willing/ready to make a new commitment and play the field.
And possibly it's as hard for women in their 60s, albeit for different reasons. I know from my mom she got approached by men in their 70s and compared to her they were really old f@rts. My mom was to lively, young at heart to settle for an old f@rt.
My mom's -now 73- has been single since she was approx 48. Had a few relationships, but nothing worked out. Mostly because the partner's kids threw a spanner in the works, that happened several times. Kind of weird how kids seem to have a stronger hold on the father than their mother in such things? I've had that experience with my ex as well. Mostly our relationship got effed up by his kids. And last week he even admitted that to me, so it's not me making this up, thinking me and my kids are so wonderful.
But I digress...

It's a problem indeed. But there are still good nice men out there looking for a woman their own age and culture. THere's some on here ...

It often seems to me, that what defines a cult, is the same thing that defines insanity: not anything objective, rather it's a matter of general sensibilities of a local majority over a local minority.

There are still Christian religious orders, for example, which require those who join to do all the same things that the Scientologists do. Renounce all previous ties and loyalties, make regular "confession" to the leaders of the group, and so on. Most of the sub-cults within majority religions are accepted, simply because they've been around a long time, and because they are allied to the majority belief system.

That's the challenge of dealing with someone who has set out to use our American desire for personal religious freedom, to craft a system designed for personal profit, or to allow abuse of members or even non-members.

The recent fracas over whether we should let certain Christians conduct a public business, wherein they demand that their customers all adhere to their beliefs, or be refused service, is an example. If we decide 100% for or against that, we open doors to ourselves being abused, even as we act with the best of intentions.

It was banned in Germany (now there are warning labels anywhere near a Scientology center on their materials and there are many other countries it is flat out illegal in. They also have to have printed on their E-Meters that it is not a medical device.

If you want to see something really interesting. It is the most accurate documentary on Scientology ever made. It has former high ranking Scientologists who escaped the church, including the guy who was second in command to David Miscavige and second in charge of Scientology, Their former spokesman and several Hollywood Actors and Driectors who have left after realizing the truth.

You should check it out. You can stream it on Amazon, Netflix and HBO it won several Emmy's and also won at the Sundance film festival. It's called Going Clear: Scientology and the Prison of Belief.

It is a must see for everyone!

For thousands of years men have poured out there hearts to women. Men would write poetry, sing to them, always polite to them, any jester to show ones affection. But in the last century that has all changed. With the rise of technology there has been the destruction of common decency. Sex is everywhere in our society which has become common to us numbing our minds. The effect of giving into ones carnal nature has cause the escalation or loss of chivalry and romance in general, because we live in a society that is focused on "ME". Here is an example, if a man took a female out opened doors for her, brought her flowers, was just generally very nice and polite, walks her home on the first date he would get the nice guy flag. No guy wants that flag ever. But if a man took her out for drinks and went back to her place to roll in the sack she would be more likely to keep him. Courting to win a woman's heart really doesn't exsist any more. There's no romance in that. Any thoughts?
