I don't always answer a question, with a question, but you've seen humans at their absolute worst. Do you believe removing societal constraints would make the world a better, or worse place?
I honestly don't know, but I'd like to try. I'm sure at first things would be fairly normal except for a few outliers.
As time went on I think we'd see the communities coming together to police the real bad shit. Murder, rape, child abuse, etc.
I think the transition period would be long and uncomfortable. Mistakes would certainly be made, but we may come out of it a better society in the end.
Hmmmmm, I may even need to smoke a bit and really think longer about this.

was she super religious when you got married?

it seems odd why she married a non christian if her belief is so strong.

She wasn't as into it then plus women think they can mold you into what they want you to be
yeah some people are pretty fake at the start of relationships until they get what they want.

what if you just let your kids go to church with their mom, and then you take them to the hindu/ buddhist temple with you. they could get a taste of different religions from the both of you and then decide for themselves where they stand.

I offered to go to a normal multi cultural church but she wants me to let them go to her cult. What kind of church needs you to spend 0900 to 1800 every Sunday there? PLUS mid week "cell group" meetings?

I don't want to take them to any temple cause I reckon most of them are full of shit too.

I want my kids to be free to choose their own faith once they have their 3 r's down pat

you could take them there to spite your wife :D

The annoyance of you taking them to the temple might get her to hold back on her church thing.

Fight religion with religion!

Hahahaha let's consider the fact that they don't want to go. Would you want to give up half of childhood's weekend plus a huge portion of your school holidays to attend a church that is held in a shitty christian community center?

Mum's at church now for pray group or some bullshit

Here's what my kids are doing right now.

I have a condo that im either going to sell or rent out once the holidays are over. That's the common area pool. We're in a block of 180 units and ive never seen anyone else use it besides us. Not even during heat waves its basically ours. I think no one uses it cause there is a few water parks close by including one within a 5 minute walk. Im in Sydney unfortunately.

Hmmm why unfortunately seems like a great place to live from what i read about it in 10 minutes :).
Climate seems pretty tropical, no winters.
I want to visit australia but i hate fucking snakes, i rather wrestle a tiger than let one of those sneaky fucks come near me.

You probably won't see any snakes here man. That said theres a resident red belly black snake at my kid's school. I say unfortunately because of the cost of living here. 3 bedroom home in a ghetto sets you back $600k + here my 2 bedroom condo will sell for over $700k

I agree brother they also have cute little bunny rabbits with no fear if humans all around the playgrounds. That cunt snake suns himself in front of the preschool that attaches to the grade school each morning.

Ill get the piece of shit one day.

Might as well pay the snake fucking alimony, the dick is a gift to be cherished not some cheap tool for asserting superiority. Hail the snake, or dick.
