Okay, now this really can't go uncontested.
Quote:
Men do not equate sex with love. They can easily have sex with multiple partners and still love their wives just as much.
(When I say 'men', I mean men in general, say about 80%). Also men have very little control when it comes to sex because of the incredible
hormonal drive. It's an uphill battle that most men fail. Women can pass judgement on men as they will, but in reality, they way men are
is the way they are made...

This is incredibly unfair to both men and women, essentially implying that men don't experience emotional involvement at all when it comes to sex. It is downright false (maybe you need to spend more time observing human behaviour rather then applying theories to it) as men report greater sexual satisfaction when emotions are involved in a relationship. Most men would opt for regular sex in a loving relationship than constant sex with many people.

Women equate sex with love and emotions. Women in general cannot just have sex with strangers.

Also naive. Ever heard of something called the sexual revolution? More women do it than you think. Less than men, but there is also a social stigma attached to women being more often called sluts when they are promiscuous. Also, women are more vulnerable as assault and rape are such huge threats. If the gender playing field was leveled, more women would do it.

Men have high testosterone levels and they cheat?
|
Surely I will not deny that men have high testosterone. But I think if you told any guy that they always think with their dick they would be majorly offended. Why?
Because that "spread your seed" instinct is no longer needed in our current society. Humans now mainly rely on social interaction instead of survival. Although this fact was true in the past and today in sparsely populated areas you don't see everyone scrambling to have babies. Following your sexual instincts at every turn (like the priest molesters and the serial philanderers that you mention) is generally unacceptable behaviour in modern society (so it is NORMAL to hate cheaters).
Does testosterone = cheating? No- both men and women cheat for a variety of reasons- they are not satisfied with their current partner, or they like the thrill of getting away with it. It's naive to think that women don't do it. Though testosterone might make it more likely for men to cheat physically, both sexes are capable of cheating emotionally.
So yes, some men cheat. A whopping 80%? I don't think so (I think you need to update your statistics)
Quote:
Personally I am not married, and when I do, I'll try very, very, very hard not to cheat.. and if I should succumb, I can tell you the
logical thing to do is 'lie about it'.. hahaha..

And you say that trust is important. Unless you are being sarcastic. hahaha.
The effort you spend "resisting to cheat" would be better spent improving your relationship, would it not?
Should we put up with it? No way. Eventually this archaic instinct may be outbred (seeing as the world is overpopulated as it is).

Religion is a farce and cause of much hatred and suffering of the human race? Also a great set back for science and major player in
keeping the population ignorant?

So you know a lot of reasons why religion is bad (which I'm not going to contest). But do you also know the reasons why religion is good?
Having attended church for 10 years (you will learn more about religion that way than in any book) I can still acknowledge evolution, be pro-choice and pro-gay. Some may think I'm not a very good Christian. But I think even my minister would be proud of a balance achieved by love and understanding.
If you ask me the one thing I have retained from religion it would be: Love and respect everyone. (Just try and think of something wrong with that- besides that it's really difficult. And no, you don't need religion to learn that,
but it helps) Do I follow the bible? No- but I've read the entire thing. And I can even convince atheists that Jesus was an awesomely stellar guy. (for more info, you can PM me.)
So in my opinion, war-mongers like Bush and science-lab bomber extremists are not truly Christians at all- frankly, we are ashamed of them.
Science and religion are both extremely powerful forces and one could never replace the other. Frankly, the world would be a miserable place having one without the other. So I take issue with deeming religion "farcical" as it is an inextractable aspect of humanity. Might as well learn to deal with it and improve upon it, as science improves upon itself.
P.S:

There's also not too many (not enough) people defending religion out there on the interwubs.

It's hilariously counterproductive to be having a serious debate on the internet as the nature and usage of internet itself hinders communication as much as it enables it, eliminating physical clues such as voice intonation and emphasis, passage of time, etc. Also- it's the INTERWUBS. People don't go there to think. [sarcasm]
