Debate- what constitutes a marriage?
-
Not just that, their "getting into heaven" rules too. Or whatever their version of the afterlife.
Yes you are right. I had a fellow minister from one of the local Baptist churches (there are many here) tell me I was going to hell because I did not accept Jesus as my only saviour. I said to him that in the bible Jesus is mentioned as the saviour 5 times but God is mentioned as our ONLY saviour some 37 times, so who do you believe? He just kept on saying that I was going to hell, so I just said "OK, I'll see you there then".

Some may think it's 'true love' to give up your own beliefs just to marry another but I call bullshit because heck, why isn't the other person doing the same then. What makes their beliefs any truer?
If it really was "true love," neither parties would care about the other person's religious affiliations or lack thereof. A lot people will bring up the mental upbringing of children as if it's something they can control.

I believe it involves giving doweries and signing a contract. Everything else is optional.
Compare that to Hislam where you cannot even date someone before marriage. You have to consult an imam (your god) and tell him you want to get married (in sunnism, it means using your penis on your wife in any manner as long as you don't insert it in the back hole) and then your god will get some unmarried girl and present her to you. You like the way she looks and in no time she is giving birth to a child.
Hail Satan. hail

That does sound a little satanic

It does because they're not following the book of God but the books of half-monks who wanted the system of God to be that way.
Or, their imams which I've recently confirmed are NEEDED along with the baseless hadith books for today's "Islam" to exist.
This is even MORE undeniable proof that these imams are being taken as gods. What the f*ck? Who gives a crap, they are human beings. Muhammad could not even give his own advice and guide those he cherished dearly. How the heck can modern day religious leaders do this when they even consider themselves BELOW MUHAMMAD?
God is the only guider, and as such you should follow only his words, the words Muhammad was not allowed to explain (since he couldn't and doing so would be blasphemy according to God). I was about to provide the verse proving this, but here's a link about it and it has the verses in it http//www.al-qiyamah.org/surah_16-19.htm
According to that link the ulema (scholars of ignorance) even tried to twist it to make it say Muhammad was forbidden from explaining THE DAY OF RESURRECTION and not the Quran, but it should be obvious what is meant.

There seems to be little difference between them and traditional Christians

Common law partnership. Wikipedia "Common-law marriage, sometimes called de facto marriage, informal marriage or marriage by habit and repute, is a form of interpersonal status which is legally recognized in some jurisdictions as a marriage even though no legally recognized marriage ceremony is performed or civil marriage contract is entered into or the marriage registered in a civil registry."
Most of the Western world.
Where does god come into this? Two unbelievers can be faithful to each other to death without a ceremony, witnesses, a registration, or certification.
There are people that don't even think about this when they fall in love and get married.
Two unbelievers can be faithful? Yet most atheists do not get into such agreements, they waft into fornication. The majority never get into marriage, and have many failed relationships.

Common knowedge that a couple is living as spouses doesn't that amount to making everyone witnesses to their relationship?
Beside what is the difference when a believing couple decide not to have childern until they are either sure of their relationship or want to establish themselves first? Does their relationship amount to fornication too??peace

Two human beings can enter into a monogamous sexual relationship with each other and no one else till their days are over, without believing in the existence of a creator. Yes.
Yet most atheists do not get into such agreements, they waft into fornication.
So, for a relationship to qualify as a marriage and not just fornication, I have to give the girl some money and let a lot of people know before I stick it in her?

I'd rather a failed relationship based on fornication than a failed marriage where kids are involved. But I can have either-or with or without kids. Which makes things too complicated.

Yes, so those people will know who is 'accountable' when the girl tummy start getting larger..
