If Monogamous Marriage is a Divine Invention

  Then why do some animals also mate w only one mate for life? Even some termites mate monogamously. Why is it that some animals, the minority were given this divine institution by god, but to other animals god gave poligamy, and temporary shack up for fertilisation purposes only? In some species, the male leaves and the female raises the young all by herself. In others, the male sticks around and helps. In one species (spider), the male becomes food for the female he impregnated. God is such a joker. Or, are some animals divine, and some satanic?

  Also, the sex drive is totally animal based. That is, it's coded in our dna, same as it is in chimps. If we ceased being partly animal, then we would die off.

  Conclusion: monogamous heterosexual marriage is just a refinment and limitation of an animal drive. Marriage was imposed to bring more order to civilisation. God had nothing to do w it.

  Horses, dogs, cats, deer, coyotes, elk, rabbits.........will screw anything!

  Your right though....there ARE many that have mates. The bird family for instance.

  So what makes them different? Different species....different habits. And humans.....where do they fit in? Is it society that has taught us to have a mate......or if none of us EVER were influenced as to how to act in this regard......would we automatically "hook-up" with a mate...and keep them?........or jump all who would consent?

  I think humans are territorial, and..... fall in love. The automatic reaction is to stick to that attracts you and makes you feel good and happy. To say it is MORAL OR NOT....then one would have to accept the bible.

  Well thought out SS, Id agree with your theory. Marriage is imposed by society in order to stop fights over breeding partners.

  A lot of people that grow up without rigid controls screw everything they can during adolescence (mostly guys, but some girls too). Their acivity carries on for perhaps a decade, then they slow down, gradually settling down to one mate at a time, w some extracurricular escapades on the side. Those w extra of everything may have two or more longterm mates, even into later life. It generally comes down to what you said below:

  I think humans are territorial, and..... fall in love. The automatic reaction is to stick to that attracts you and makes you feel good and happy.

  Misfits (but not of any less value than those who fit smoothly into society) get left out of the gene pool.

  I thought of somthin else.

  How come a love bird doesn't want to do it with someone else?....or any other bird for that matter. They don't sneak off to another tree and get a little on the side. They don't even think about it. We do. No matter how much we love our mate.......we still are overcome by the beauty of others to the point of "knowing it would be nice".....but I can't thing. My point is humans, under the right circumstances, would enjoy sex from others rather than just one.......if "something" inside of them didn't tell them they better not. Not so with animals that have mates. Perheps we are more of the horse and dog type as I mentioned earlier.

  Actually I think SS wants to just roam around and make love, and he's looking for some authentification from us guys!....( jokin of course )

  Have you ever read the scripture that says "when a man kills an animal he restores another? but when he takes a mans life he gives his own for that life which he took. Animals are not held to the same covenants that man is held too and it seems to me that maybe the animals is reincarnated. I said maybe now folks just a thought I had....
