That's what people do because they were told so.

God has an elephant head and loves pancakes?

Thunder comes from Thor hitting, ... Clouds with his hammer?

You go to geaven/hell if you do this don't...

...

It's just what many peoples software run on, because that was how they were taught/indoctrinated from birth and they didn't really have the need to break out of it. And well, if it works it might do it for them, the problem is they might think your life/lifestyle is the wrong way to live.

Nah, man, I happen to think that women are amazing and the idea of living with a woman who loves me is pretty damn cool.

I'm not talking about love, but the artificial idea that when you found someone, then you must stay with them "forever" and other things christian marriage enforcing.

I'm not certain that I possess the linguistic ability to adequately express the full magnitude of my feelings on this matter. Sharing my entire life with this wonderful, magical, creature who loves me back, is exactly what pushes my buttons. Nobody has to enforce that upon me.
