Reaperwoman - don't worry, your comment was perfectly clear...to me, at least. What you said is exactly how I'd play it too, if I were ever in that situation.

Scotz - You're right of course - the most famous example is probably that of Jacob and his many sons, of whom Joseph (and possibly Benjamin, but I'm not sure on that point - can't remember exactly) was his favourite as he was born of his second and favourite wife. They were sisters and he was tricked into marrying the first one by his father-in-law.

That marriage doesn't count cuz he was tricked.

Complete surrender should not just come at moments in which one faces overwhelming odds, but in the calm when it seems one is personally in complete control of one's life.

"We all know what the bible(God) says about premarital sex and adultry "

Damn you Scotzoidman to the lowest reaches of Lilith's wine cupboard for taking my point.

The bible talks about adultery, but if neither person is married, it's not adultery.

Didn't Solomon have 1000 wives?

Noone has mentioned my favorite. Lot was the only righteous man in Sodom, but he committed incest with his daughters.

Didn't Lot's daughters get him drunk & take advantage of him?

duh-uh. the holy spirit did. and it's all true. every word. even the contradictory ones. which makes sense when you think about it. holy/holey. it's all very logical.

Yup. Incest and rape are good things according to the good book.

Should we really be surprised at all the priestly misconduct??

Well, they did it because they had just witnessed what they thought was the beginning of the end of the world and they were trying to continue the family name.

Only the merest beginning of payback for the number of times you've beaten me to the punch by condensing what I wanted to say into a few well-chosen & insightful words.


It just occurred to me, you don't suppose there's a cask of Amontillado down in that cupboard?

By that stardard, my marriage shouldn't count either...


...I was assured there'd be a lot more sex on the other side of "I do"...

LMAO @ Scotz. That's a common scam - I fell for it too!
