"Oh, I don't need religion to be moral." But wait a second, didn't ya just say, you believe

that women should have the right to cancel their unborn babies?  That's murder ...  supporting murder doesn't exactly sound moral.  And yeah, i get it, three months in, and peewee's already throwing tantrums about having to deal with adult choices - never mind, he had the adult choice to keep his junk in his britches, but chose the instant-grat route ... oh well, game over ;/

One woman, who lives on the other side of the ridge, was going on about how "moral" her - at the time - live-in boyfriend was.  Uhm, excuse me, but if he was so moral, then he'd of put a ring on it.   Bringing that up because, some old broad was braying about the guy she moved in with - you'd think, that at 60-something, women would know better ... guess not :/   Btw, talk to Helen's mom; she moved in with a guy and they got along... well his grown children had whatever issues, and being the two were not married, she had to scoot.   And even if there's no nosey-ar$'d kids in the mix, it's alot easier to bail on someone when yer playing house - yep, game so over, when one of the partners gets sick...the old-human condition, ya know.

As for domestic partner healthcare legislations, that helps ... yeah, and helps to increase everybody's premiums.  Uhm, while there are exceptions, we know what exceptions prove :)   Anyway, marriage and shacking-up are NOT the same, nor should be regarded the same.  Live-ins tend to trade in their cards every few years ... can ya spell, more paperwork for the (short-staffed) health-care entity.  

Marriages, though they fall apart too (thanks, in a significant part, to busy-body female frienemies, who really need to butt the eff out).  That said, marriages yet last longer than the fakers' relatIonsheet$ do.  In addition, Marriage takes WORK ... comeon, even couples who actually like being around one another...yeah toes get stepped on ... she's mad because he hasn't yet taken a chainsaw to that really UGLY and going everywhere bush ... it's been there for how many years?? 

Okay, got off topic - sorta.  Anyway, it's real easy to come off "moral" when there's plenty of money in the bank, and a late-model car parked in the nicely paved driveway - to get ya back and forth to yoga class ... and whatever other self-important fluff.   C.S. Lewis had something to say along those lines - something about being really nice, but that changing when stomach health goes sour. 

But the pharisee said it so on-target (Luke 18:9-14) when he "prayed thus with himself," thanking Ggodd, that he did this and that moral thing, hmmph...unlike like that low-life tax-collector guy over there.  Moral of story: the pharisee fancied himself as good; the tax-collector?  Well, he knew he was a mess.  And guess which one of the guys is enjoying eternity - and which one, ugh, is infinitely miserable?
