Because most of the symbols or pictures that we associate with the bible or most of the things in cristianity is in direct propotion to paganistic history so as a result the bible is merly just a book full of paganistic beliefs bt it also is a paradox or shows alot of oppisition towards pagans. ...

As morality is a fiction (at best: the codified median of the 'successful' behaviors of an awful lot of individuals over a great span of time; at worst: crafted, esoteric, shackles to hobble the un-powered in favor of the powered), one must work to craft a meaning (morality) for one's self.

What I see usually in modern men is that they engage in a mutual monogamous relationships with women, to the detriment of their preferences and choices. There's nothing wrong with choosing that path.

Unfortunately, there is no way a guy can make a choice based off his preferences in modern society without being a "rapist" or a "sociopath".

But once an illegal action is undertaken by a person, they are immediately thrust into a position where they are obligated to provide a very elaborate defense of their own ethics. This responsibility to defend one's self while doing something illegal should contrast wildly against the judicial/penal system that punishes them for the action. ...
