I've been married for 10 years, and I fucking LOVE being married. My wife is the best thing that ever happened to me.

Still, there's no way in hell I'd like a second wife, and a second mother-in-law. No thank you.

[–]unimpresseddriver 36 points37 points ago

Who said a second mother-in-law, just marry sisters, or better yet, twins!

[–]Bilbo_Fraggins 9 points10 points ago*

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Still, no thanks. Sibling rivalry is bad enough as it is, can't imagine it in a marriage. :-)

Anyway, if I wanted the headaches that come with being with multiple women at the same time, I'd rather skip marriage and be able to swap them out occasionally. ;-)

I don't really though.. I'm but a simple man who enjoys thoroughly his simple life with his partner.

Mormons can drink caffeine, just not alcoholic beverage, coffee, tea, or other hot drinks. Oh, and the also can't smoke, and should pay 10% of their income to the church for tithing, plus a small amount per month for something called Fast Offerings (help the poor and needy supposedly).

The 10% tithe is pretty prevalent throughout Christianity. It's in the bible somewhere.

On that note, I love how god said in the bible that tax collectors are evil(don't have the passage), yet taxes his own people anyway...

[–]julzham 4 points5 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Very misinformed. God never said tax collectors were evil. It was the people saying that - tax collectors took up Caesar's tax but then also took money just for themselves. It was a very corrupt system. It was Jesus who actually broke the mould and befriended the tax collectors when no one else did. Downvote this if you want - I don't care. I just think you need to be careful in your arguments otherwise you can come across as being ignorant

[–]WAPOMATIC 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Actually, as I recall, the Bible itself doesn't mention 10%; that comes from a Jewish tradition. This verse used to be printed on all the tithe envelopes I'd see at the various churches I went to.

[–]designerutah 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Deuteronomy 26:12

12 When thou hast made an end of tithing all the tithes of thine increase the third year, which is the year of tithing, and hast given it unto the Levite, the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, that they may eat within thy gates, and be filled;

The Old Testament does mention tithes and even tells the Jews what to do with them.

[–]Antonskarp 5 points6 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Ehhh this really isn't agreed upon by the mormon community.

Joseph smith forbode "hot drinks", which were later interpreted to mean "cofee and tea", which were later interpreted to mean "caffeine-containing drinks".

Some mormons avoid hot drinks, but drink ice tea and iced coffee. Some mormons avoid coffe and tea, to the extent that they will not eat cofee-flavored candy, and some mormons won't drink pepsi.

[–]designerutah 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Just like Catholics, Mormons pick and choose which doctrines to believe. The description I gave was based off the actual Bishop's Handbook from 2007... the last one I have.

Joseph smith forbode "hot drinks", which were later interpreted to mean "cofee and tea", which were later interpreted to mean "caffeine-containing drinks".

This is partially true. The part about "later interpreted to mean..." was not an official church doctrine (as far as I know), but was only something certain groups of Mormons took too far. Like wearing only white shirts to church when other light colors are allowed.

Basically, we're debating how individuals behave versus what the doctrines as published are.

[–]Tabz18 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

They can't drink coffee because of the caffeine in the coffee.

[–]designerutah 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

This isn't my understanding. Just to put it in light, I'm an ex-Mormon, with 30 years in the church, including service in the Bishopbric. Some Mormons interpreted the doctrine that way, but it wasn't church policy. Church policy specifically states: coffee, tea, (and other hot drinks -- though many Mormons drink hot chocolate without an issue), and alcoholic beverages. Weird, because it means iced tea is fine, iced coffee is fine, and so is Near Beer, but a good wine isn't.

Actually Jesus sent a vision to Paul(I think) that they could now kill and eat all "unclean" animals. And correct on the wives and several iconic figures had mistresses, sometimes had a baby with one, or even another wife.

No you see he was really hungry and got tired while waiting for food right? So being exhausted he quickly passed into REM sleep and started tripping on DMT giving him the "vision" due to his hunger. I like to believe this Peter feller was an honest guy :p

Leviticus 11:7-8

"And the pig, though it has a divided hoof, does not chew the cud; it is unclean for you. You must not eat their meat or touch their carcasses; they are unclean for you."

Deuteronomy 14:8

The pig is also unclean; although it has a divided hoof, it does not chew the cud. You are not to eat their meat or touch their carcasses.

The bible also featured prophets with multiple wives...

Really, Islam and christianity aren't that different, it's just that when one blows up shit, we shit ourselves, when the other does it, it's a "misinterpretation".

[–]HeNeArKrXeRn 2 points3 points ago

My very religious(christian orthodox) grandma's explanation for this was: the pig is dirty and unhealthy, but once you say grace before eating, god makes it ok and you won't get sick.

Jesus was supposed to have abolished the old law, so most Christians won't put stock in that as anything other than history.

[–]abbiistabbii 4 points5 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

All of the vicious Old Testament laws will be binding forever. "It is easier for Heaven and Earth to pass away than for the smallest part of the letter of the law to become invalid." Luke 16:17.

"Do not think that I have come to abolish the law or the prophets. I have come not to abolish but to fulfill. Amen, I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest part or the smallest part of a letter will pass from the law, until all things have taken place." Matthew 5:17.

[–]explodingplant 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I guess they chart is more about culture? Islam isn't that harsh on homosexuality. Just to put it out there, homoerotic literature was more prevalent than heterosexual erotic literature in the expansionist period of Islam. Islam values the nuclear family unit and privacy, so as long as you were married and not causing a public nuisance, homosexuality's not a big deal, Islam endorses sex for pleasure rather than just procreation. It became more and more taboo in modern history. And I guess pork became okay at some point for Christians, maybe because they realized it's delicious.

[–]jefuchs 3 points4 points ago

Whenever polygamy is discussed, guys always assume it means they'd have multiple wives. Think again.

Are you the most desirable man in your area? Do you have the most money, or power, or best looks, personality, or biggest dick? Well, then you might have multiple wives, but the rest of us would not even have one. Every time one of those Alpha guys adds another wife, that's one more Redditor who sleeps alone. Women would never settle. They'd never say that all the good ones are taken. The one she let get away would still be an option for her.

Even if we were limited to two wives, then the top 50% of men would marry, and half of us would be alone. If you could have five wives, then as many as 80% of us would be alone.

If you like the idea of being married, just be happy that you're limited to one at a time.

[–]emkajii 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I'm going with the bacon one. Not because bacon is great, but because polygamy isn't a good idea. I mean, first, it's incompatible with the conception of women as being equal to men. We see marriage as being a joining of co-equal entities. Having multiple wives is not really compatible with that.

Secondly, polygamy (even with the necessary submission of women to men) kinda fucks over everyone but a few rich bastards. The harm to women is obvious, but the harm to men exists as well. There is not an unlimited supply of women in the world. Every man with a second wife is dooming some other man to solitude. If one rich bastard has 100 wives, that is 99 other men who must therefore be forever alones. Unless you're going to start aborting male babies to supply society with a surplus of wives, far more men are going to end up solitary than will end up with nightly threesomes.

Actually one of the most key differences between the two is that in Christianity you have assurance of salvation (i.e. if you believe that Jesus Christ died for your sins you are guaranteed to spend eternity with God after death) whereas in Islam you do not have assurance of salvation (i.e. even if you were a very devout Muslim, Allah can still choose to send you to hell when you die).

I think you people might be interested to know that christians don't have the right (in their religion) to eat pork. It's written in Leviticus 11:7 check it out.

Edit: I'm not the only one saying this in the comments apparently.

If these were the only differences, I think I'd have to toggle back and forth depending on my mood.

Technically the bible does say that you can have multiple wives, and you shouldn't eat bacon.

Christians just choose (or chose) to ignore those parts.

Well, Hell in Islam is not forever. The time spent there is determined by your deeds in life.

I didn't realize people didn't already realize that religions don't hate each other because they're different. They hate each other because they're the same. When has Christianity ever declared war on Hinduism. But Catholics fight protestants, shia's fight Sunni, islam fights Judaism and Christianity. They do it because the similarities scare them, the idea that they could be wrong frightens them. That is why they hate each other, if it had anything to do with being wrong everyone would hate zaroastrians not jews.

[–]smischmal 0 points1 point ago

Well... considering they are both just as made up, you could always make up your own. It could even have mandatory bacon and tons of casual sex if you wanted. You should also make hell only for people that you really hate (you can have rules like that since you are the prophet).

Historically speaking, men lose when polygamy is in effect. (Think about the Islamic countries where one, richer more powerful man has lots of wives, and the poorer men lose out, generally single, highly manipulated, mostly being sexually repressed and so forth. It's quite common, and there's quite a bit of research and such written on the matter. Women always have the advantage in a polygamist society.)

Oh, and bacon is the shiznit.

[–]wayndom 0 points1 point ago

To me, the interesting thing about this is that nowhere in the bible is there any mention of how many wives a man may have, and of course, many biblical figures were polygamists, with no disapproval of same in the Gud Buk...

More like tons of incredibly crazy nagging. "Why'd you F#$ her again?.. It was my turn....I'm not spending all our time together watching you play video games.......Who's she?.......Did you wash up? Who's your favorite? No, NOTHING is wrong (10 times a day). Does this burka make me look fat?"

Multiple wives actually ends up giving women leverage.

Not satisfied with you? leaves for ANY other man

With one wife per man, a woman usually only has the option to leave in search of single men.

technically, Christians can't eat pork either. It's punishable by death, like being gay, or shaving.
