Pearl Davis, one of the more prominent critics of "modern marriage", recently debated Catholic apologist Trent Horn on the topic "Is marriage a bad deal for men?" https://www.youtube.com/live/uB7OuwPh3rw?si=MfJQh1fCxvygLmXB Trent has previously made videos critiquing Pearl and the "red pill"...

One, saying Moses had two wives simultaneously because of the reference to him having a Cushite as a wife is a reach. There is never a reference to Moses having multiple wives. The Cushite wife may not have been Zipporah, his Midianite wife, but Zipporah may have passed away and Moses could have...

@King Arts brought it up randomly in the other thread too. He seems to have a weird fixation on the idea that polygamy is not forbidden in the Bible.

I'm not watching that. And no, not everyone is an overseer, but you're avoiding my actual point and arguing in bad faith. The Bible identifies having more than one wife as something that brings reproach. Yes or no?

You acting like polygamy isn't prohibited anywhere in the Bible is itself bad faith and false, on its face. We've had this discussion before.

We know from Biblical teaching that polygamy is not ok. We don't need tradition outside of the Bible to know this. We've been over this before. You haven't defeated anything.

I'm not sure you comprehend what you think you're agreeing with.

My point stands. If you include your daughter's relationship with a woman when you talk about "marriage", you aren't talking about the same thing I'm talking about.

You're not talking about marriage as I was talking about in the OP, then.

The question that evolutionary biology can't answer. About anything. Sure, it can try to explain why people have cared, historically. But just because people have cared in the past doesn't mean an individual ought to care in the present. Evolutionary biology can't present a reason for anyone...

I do have standards, and I can explain them to you if you're interested. It's not arbitrary to expect someone to be able to define their terms.

It's silly for you to ask for people not to be "bad people" when you have no actual standard for what "bad" or "good" actually mean.

It was silly of you to ask for people to behave in a certain way.

That's kind of an incoherent answer. "Living conditions have nothing to do with what makes a good person", but "good people make good environments"? Sounds like good environments (living conditions) do have something to do with what makes a good person. And that answer just raises the question...

What do living conditions have to do with whether following those principles make you a good person? So what if society is like Sodom and Gomorrah, what connection does that have with being a good person? Can you explain the connection?

Do you have any particular reason for believing that about those principles?

Why?

Ok, Chadwarden. If you're married through a religious ceremony, why shouldn't you go through the process of being legally married as well? Believe it or not there are actually legal benefits to being married. Absolutely. So, how are you doing in working on those?

It could happen at any time by God's grace. There is no real immediate sign right now if it happening, though. Current churches being "feminized" is hardly the core of the problem though.

"Religious revival" is meaningless. Anything can be a religion, and can be very destructive. A revival of Christianity specifically is what is needed.
