What people are saying:

• Facebook User: I encourage everybody to read Deuteronomy 22:28. It’s crazy that something so heinous is allowed to be seen/taught to children during public school hours.
• Facebook User: King Solomon’s 700 wives and concubines beg to differ. If a man dies without children, his brothers should have sex with her to give her a child. There are hundreds of biblical examples with which to challenge fundamentalists’ harmful beliefs. Fundamentalists’, of every stripe, understand theirs to be the only correct belief, and are compelled to convert everyone around them. (I have a 4-year, graduate, Christian, seminary degree, if folks have questions.)
• Facebook User: No. It. Doesn’t.
• Facebook User: N Yoder. You have to grasp the fact that the ‘people’ you are arguing with are deluded idiots. You cannot win an argument with them. The only thing that makes any sense to them is the religious nonsense they believe!
  • Facebook User: Facebook User They are more just arguing with themselves.
  • Facebook User: Facebook User you are directly engaging! Geeze🙄
• Facebook User: So a man and woman are to be married WITHOUT having a loving; romantic relationship, beforehand? 🤔
  • Facebook User: Facebook User Being purposefully obtuse is not the flex you think it is.
  • Facebook User: Facebook User Where do you get the impression I’m “flexing” anything? It’s just a logical insight based on info presented in the topic meme. 😉
  • Facebook User: Facebook User Purposefully obtuse. You know, missing the point on purpose… unless it wasn’t on purpose and you didn’t look at your context clues?
  • Facebook User: Facebook User Not really, but if you could run some of the “context clues” by me, that’d be great…and also what the [singular] “point”(?) is…. 😃
  • Facebook User: Facebook User Let me clarify some information first, so that I can better assist you. Do you support LifeWise? Yes/No/Neutral
  • Facebook User: Facebook User in the Bible they didn’t even have to know or like each other before they were married. Or agree to be married, for that matter. In fact, sometimes a man raped a women, tossed her dad some cash, and then owned her. 🤷 Also, yes, Lifewise believes that sex outside of marriage is a sin and single moms go to hell.
  • Facebook User: Facebook User Neutral.
  • Facebook User: Facebook User I’m sure.
  • Facebook User: Facebook User Ok.
  • Facebook User: Facebook User And if a couple gets married after having a loving, romantic relationship that’s ideal… right? Or does it have to be man and woman?
  • Facebook User: Facebook User According to the meme info – there is to be no loving, romantic relationship until AFTER marriage takes place. None before.
  • Facebook User: Facebook User Fair enough. Same question, after marriage a couple has a loving romantic relationship. This is the goal of marriage, and a good result…agreed?
  • Facebook User: Facebook User
    QUOTE: “after marriage a couple has a loving romantic relationship.”

    ^^ How is that state arrived at, in the absence of it beforehand?

    Yes, that state would be a good result 👌 but how is it arrived at?

  • Facebook User: Facebook User That part isn’t addressed here, so I can’t speculate.
  • Facebook User: Facebook User It’s implied in the topic meme.
    A.) “GOD DESIGNED THE FIRST MAN AND WOMAN TO HAVE A LOVING RELATIONSHIP WITH ONE ANOTHER *IN MARRIAGE [ONLY]*”

    B.) GOD’S WORD TELLS US THIS…ANYTHING DIFFERENT FROM THIS..ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN A [MARRIED] HUSBAND AND WIFE IS SIN.”

    = 👎 NO loving, romantic relationship outside of,or before marriage.

  • Facebook User: Facebook User Interesting perspective I didn’t see in this meme, but I did spend time in the ranks of overzealous Christianity, so I may still have deconstruction to do.
• Facebook User: I Call BS on that!
• Facebook User: Utter nonsense!
• Facebook User: Bullsh1t!!!! Lies lies!!! And what the fuk do you care???? And the Bible is all bull anyways!!!! So fuk u!!
• Facebook User: Straight from the Book of Bollocks!
