BEASTIE'S BABBLES part deux

[GRITS]

I hear your argument Beastie and wish to point out that it is just part of the animal kingdom....there are many animals that naturally select one lifetime mate and that is where the basis of my argument lies....Those animals that travel in herds do so for the benefit of the species...survival and procreation...travel in packs for protection, a male to female ratio that allows for more offspring and continuation of the species etc etc...Those animals that 'choose' to pair up do it for a reason I don't believe we can critique...but it is a natural choice an "animal instinct" to do so. These male animals are able to resist the pheromones that are cast off by females that are not their chosen mate during mating season...those are very strong animal instincts that they overcome....so does that make you...the human male whose urge is to "spread his seed", a weaker "animal" than a peacock or a seal....is the human male an 'animal' that is in less control of their own natural instincts than a dove?
I believe the "ceremonial" part of a marriage may be manmade but I think there is enough natural 'pairing' to debunk any theory on marriage being manmade at the emotional/spiritual level.
Think about the animal species that you bring up.....the Lion....which animal is the lowest on the scale of social acceptance? Is it the Simba? the dominant male? let me help you out here.....nope...is it any of the females that are responsible for the continuation of the species?...nope again....its that male "bachelor" that is deprecated…so if you aren’t the “king” male you aren’t really important to the pride....maybe that is why they fight so much to be alpha male. :D
ok maybe I can work on question 2 now....
