why cant anyone spell GOD ???
Marriage is for suckers.
Marriage is the cornerstone of society and should be treated with reverence.
I love you, Posh. Will you marry me?
I'm already married. Sorry, Posh.
why cant anyone spell GOD ???
It's a religious thing; not supposed to spell the name of the Diety. Bad luck or something.

Did not think religion and luck (good or bad) went together.
Isn't that what religion is all about?
Religion is all about luck???
Yeah, the luck to be born in the same country as your parents. It's how people choose their religion.
And on that note, I'll say marriage, like religion, was exceedingly useful in the growth and stability of civilisation. Times change.

Pug, my parents were not and are not Christians. I am. So your comment is wrong. There are millions upon millions, like me.Yeah, the luck to be born in the same country as your parents. It's how people choose their religion.

Here's something I've learned about sharing the internet with Americans; never discuss God with them unless you're prepared to have your image of someone shattered. There are some scary people out there and it's best to leave some stones unturned.
Is that a dig at me? and if so, what IS your image of me? If not, Cherrio.
I don't know how you came to that conclusion. I don't know where you're from as you're flying a Dutch flag and say you're in NY.
It's not about you. Sorry.
1. no need to apologize as this is all in good fun.
2. Dutch? That an Italian flag.
Since no one really answered, allow me:
It is a custom in the Jewish religion not to spell the out the word god out of respect.
Posh must have been raised Jewish, and therefore the spelling g-d.

That spiel was totally undeserved. Nobody attacked anyones religion. Joewatch's question was a perfectly legitamate one.

That wasn't a spiel, just a friendly stab back at all our obnoxious friends. Honestly, no malice - was smiling while I wrote it. I'm not even religious but I respect those who are.
But I don't believe for a second that he didn't know. He was just being a smarta** :-)
K-man you a spiritual person and i think that is cool. I think you are closer than you think.
Speaks volumes to me. The big guy straining to touch us and Adam with a limp wrist and kind of indifferent about it.
People come into our lives for a reason, a season and a lifetime. Hopefully that special person is a lifetime.
Hooch, I love you, Buddy. I'm actually closer than you think, too, but I'm not a Christian.K-man you a spiritual person and i think that is cool. I think you are closer than you think.

A Different Opinion
I was the one who posted the infamous link to the NoMarriage.com website, and my case is quite enigmatic, to say the least. Last November, my parents celebrated their golden (50th!) anniversary. It was a good for me and my whole family to witness together, as my mother was crying profusely. Ironically, despite coming from a family whose parents have been married for fifty years, my view of marriage is more realistic than idealistic.
Posh may chronicle her parents' thirty-five years of blissful moments when together in holy matrimony. That was wonderful to read, yes, but we need to realize here is that we must first understand the lens through which we are seeing these memorable moments. In fairness, we can account for the divorced men who would be more than willing to share with us their miserable moments of being together with their wives. NoMarriage.com is a misogynist litany of the evils of women, and justifiably so because their inherent messages stem from the pain of direct experience. Just as Posh may cherish the positive experiences while simultaneously looking away from the negative experiences from a 35-year marriage, the men behind NoMarriage.com have every right to ignore those positive experiences and dwell on the negative because, with due respect to these hurt men, their pain from negative experiences discount the positive ones, and their pain is very real. We must not only look at the message, but the messenger as well. Examine the lens through which we are seeing what is projected before us. From which frame of reference are we reading these accounts, and what are the intentions and ideals from each author? As some obsequious and overly-idealistic romantic fools impose their dogma upon us because they cling too zealously to their ideals of marriage, we cannot lose sight of the other side of the coin and heed advice from divorced men whose coffers have been emptied.
Should we go ahead and marry for the sake of marrying just because someone dogmatically asserts the virtues of marriage, or should we be more cautious and self-protective when others warn us of its potential evils? I am more of a moderate, but generally I tend to lean toward the latter because in my experiences I, along with many other men, have witnessed episodes that corroborate with the poignant themes of NoMarriage.com. Make no mistake, men: there are many selfish women out there, as millions of divorced men will attest. Of course, one may use my own argument and say that my own lens should be examined, but I will retort that "money talks and bull**** walks." When a divorced man shares with you his pain of paying $5000/month in spousal support, that pain is very real. The whole NoMarriage.com site is a compilation of rants that readers can feel the pain of failed marriages resonating throughout the website. One of my friends is a successful dentist, but after his divorce he pays $85,000/year to his wife. O.J. Simpson had to pay his ex-wife Nicole over $10,000/month in spousal support, and an alimony payment like that would drive some men to kill their ex-wives.
For better or worse, for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health, for as long as we both shall live....
These are perhaps the most important declarations one will vow during a marriage ceremony, but realize that it is an ideal that can only be achieved through sincere and unselfish intentions as well as mutual respect.
Proceed with caution, guys--and watch your wallets!
