Why would god punish women with a period every month?

Cute. I'm not gay, but a book that says to kill gays, even though they are not harming you, is the ultimate in immorality (the Bible/Qur'an are clearly immoral.)
Elton John, Stephen Fry etc. have done nothing to hurt Christians, but they give their children a book that says to kill him....incredibly immoral. See Hitchens defend the rights of the innocent (his friend Stephen Fry): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CxlqXb0bRBc

Homosexuality is not bad, it's a form of love.

 

Why don't atheists kill themselves if the universe is such an evil place? Why would they want to live here? Because either way they must think the entire universe is sh*t - either it was created by some evil tyrannical god who gets his jollies from children starving, or it was just a freak accident, and there's no one there to end starvation, war, crime, etc

Either way atheists must think the universe is a pretty miserable place to live - maybe the afterlife or lack thereof would be better, so why don't they see what's on the other side instead of complaining about how terrible the world is?

 

Its a form of sexuality kiddo. You don;t have to put your penis into something to 'love' it.

I feel very sorry for your dog ...

 

Ask Bishadi. Bishadi will be happy to tell you why Mother Nature has punished women with such an affliction. After all, according to Bishadi, Mother Nature is god.

 

It's the price we women pay for the privilege of bringing new life into this world. If you don't like it, you could always get a hysterectomy, I guess. Most women I have known don't pass out or any such thing. Life goes on, with or without periods. Are women becoming total weenies?

 

Why should you pay a price? What about women that don't want to have kids, can't have kids, or will never have sex? Could women get hysterectomy's thousands of years ago? Can all of them afford to get them now? Are their parents going to let them get one as a teen? What if they want kids later? Should that really have to choose between pain every month and being able to have children?

 

Oral contraceptives taken concurrently prevents periods. It does increase ones chances of getting uterine cancer, however, isn't that a small price to pay if one wants to prevent periods?

Most women I know can take a couple of ibuprofen once a month and they are fine. I have yet to know anyone truly disabled by their periods. period.

 

Because Mother nature (god) has deemed it necessary. If you don't believe me, just ask Bishadi. He knows, because he knows that Mother nature is god.

 

Duplicated post.

 

Are you actually buying your own argument? lol. Cancer is a small price to pay? God designed women to be punished with horrible pain every month, and tens of thousands of years later, certain people who have access to birth control can use it, just so long as they don't mind getting cancer. lol, I think you're trolling. God makes women choose between monthly pain or increasing their risk of cancer. What a loving god, right?

"Truly disabled" is rather subjective and irrelevant. Whether or not one is disabled, it doesn't change the fact that pretty much every woman feels crappy because of it, and pain killers weren't exactly available for thousands of years. And why should a woman have to take pain killers to get rid of a pain that shouldn't be there in the first place? This is just a horrible, horrible, ridiculous argument. lol, it's pretty amusing how desperate you are, though (or how good you can troll).

You can stop posting this now. Obviously, "just cuz" isn't a satisfactory answer for me or any critical thinker.

 

AKR, since you don't believe in God, I will ask you this?

Why did the forces of the Universe, whatever you belive created it, design women like that?


Next you will be complaining about how women give birth, blaming a God you don't even believe in for it....



Your point makes no sense, because you yourself don't believe in God, yet to try to blame God for these kinds of things. Even if you do not believe in God, animals still feel pain and women still have periods.

But how can you try and use these to... Discredit or insult God when you yourself don't even give God credit for these things?

It makes no sense to me.

 

Irrelevant.

Wow. You really don't get hypothetical situations, do you? Every time an atheist makes an argument about god, do you think it doesn't make any sense because they don't actually believe god exist? So, by that weird logic, how can you make any arguments about evolution if you don't believe it? How can evolution be wrong if you don't think it's real?

 

How convenient.

Now, if a religious person answered your question with "irrelevant", how would you have responded?

This isn't exactly a hypothetical situation, now is it? Because the people you are asking are not Athiests, they are people who believe in God. So to them - us - it is a real question.

Get it?

And nobody is talking about evolution. Now that is irrelevant, and a weak deflection from actually addressing what I said.

 

Depends on whether or not I asked an irrelevant question instead of actually giving a decent reply to THEIR question in THEIR thread.

lol, Jesus...

wtf? A deflection? Uh, no, it's an example of why your logic is flawed. I addressed it perfectly.

 

Ah the Science of a woman's menstrual cycle. It's all so very fascinating actually when you really look into why it happens and how many species actually have one. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Menstrual_cycle

There was only one time in my life that my period left me in the most horrible pain I have ever felt in my life. It was like a knife being plunged in and out of my abdomen and it simply wouldn't stop for two hours. I couldn't keep any food down and vomited and dry heaved the whole time. At one point, sobbing in pain I crawled into my bathtub and started running warm water - didn't know what else to do - and despite having given up my belief in a God long ago I actually laid there and begged for his forgiveness and asked him to end the horrible pain and I just sobbed and cried 'why ooohh why' for a good half hour. It was awful. I haven't had a period that horrible since and I am not really sure why I had one that bad either. It could have been stress, I was in high school at the time and boy was I stressed during that time of my life, what with dealing with mean girls and stupid boyfriends, etc. Who knows though...

I think it's all just Biology tbh. Nothing any deity forces women to go through, it's just the natural behavior of our reproductive cycles and the cramps come from the uterus pushing the uterine lining out of our bodies (i.e. the blood).

 

Im glad its not Eve's fault. Imagine how long I'd have to stand in line to give her a piece of my mind, for all the trouble she's caused me!

 

Have you ever "LIVED" with a woman? Now, imagine being a god and the woman you're dating is also a God with divine powers... You'd punish all women also... Women are pure evil and when they are on their "cycle" it's like a week off!!!!

So, you can look at it in two ways, either it's horrible for women are God blessed man with a week off of dealing with women's crap!!!!

 

Another way to look at it is you dont sound to have been very successful with women.

 

Well, if you believe in god, then you believe in a god that designed the human female to feel such horrible pain. You can't blame biology in a universe with god.

So, god is your average bitter, misogynistic man?

 

Are you now admitting that this universe has a God? It sure sounds like you are. Aside from your seeming admission, Bishadi says that Mother nature is God.

 

Wow. This questions ranks very low on the benevolent loving God and needless suffering problem.

What about starvation? What about pain from disease or wounds that cause the victim to experience prolonged agony before death? and so on.....

Life is not all good. Does that mean that life is not good?

 

She ate the apple 1st.

 

Right? I always did hate that idea that humankind is being punished for what one person chose to do. What kind of psycho punishes a criminal's child, when the child hasn't committed a crime? It simply doesn't make sense to me.

 

I dunno.... what kind would do such a thing?

 

Apparently the Abrahamic deity would, punishing all of mankind for what the original mother, Eve, did. You know, 'original sin' and all that nonsense. Or at least that's what the Bible states.
