This is usually a fundamental flawed religious argument. Without religion we don't have morals? I hear that all the time... but then the same religion tells us that other religions are evil and everyone's going to rot in hell for all eternity if they don't believe in one particular fictitious diety...

Um- this isn't what I was discussing at all. Stick to one topic, please.
I was saying that humans have need of religion and art (for example) that separates us from animals. But in stating that we have morals you automatically assumed religion.
I have read your threads fully (in other topics as well) where you try to explain your stance on religion (against it). But that really isn't the topic we're discussing. So I totally lost you after this point.

I am merely stating what's fact. If you want to dispute that, it's all fine with me... let the debate begin...

Any science major will tell you that nothing is fact, only theory.

I totally disagree that it's inherent in human nature to rape. Next you may say that it's inherent in human nature to 'kill'?

well, this isn't the topic either but it's just something I brought up as I had read about the theory in Dr. Tatiana's Sex Advice to All Creation: The Definitive Guide to the Evolutionary Biology of Sex by Olivia Judson (ISBN-13: 978-0805063325). Rape is one of the only ways for the omega male to get ahead and pass on their genes. And in a human's case it gives them self-worth and a feeling of power? I dunno.
Of course I would never say that it's in human nature to kill. We are the only species that kills each other without purpose and that makes our species an anomaly.
My point I want to reiterate is that it doesn't matter what is "in our nature" to do- it's no excuse. It only matters what we want to decide for ourselves- whether we want to be animals, or more than that. Maybe that will make us genetic freaks. Whatever...

Personally, I love the idea of story book 'true love' and 'sexual faithfullness'...... I wish we were designed differently..

Why wish for it? Make the change in yourself and MAKE IT HAPPEN. It's called the ubermensch, the human will. (man, now I sound like a supremacist) Anyway, there are people out there who can actually have honest sexual relationships- and I refuse to associate with those who don't- no need to resign ourselves to "oh, it will always happen so let's just let it go on..."
Overall- we actually agree on plenty of points but you go on some far-off tangents, man.
