The question I have which believers of "love" have refused to answer is that, where is the evidence that an emotion called "love" exists? On the contrary, there is overwhelming proof that it does not exist, and any indulgence in it is a waste of time analogous to the time been wasted pursuing religious beliefs. So if "love" doesn't exist, why should I be a partaker of mass hysteria simply because I want to "belong"?
Dude! Cant believe you still ask that! Now Copy the bolded statement and take it to Google, a.k a, the "Information Super Highway", and paste it there, Click Search and knock yourself out with the results you'll find! cool Thank me later!!! cool

Claremont claremont.Do you love yourself? What feelings do you have towards yourself?

I don't think that 'Dating' itself is the main qualms with God BUT the sex always involved while dating. Over 90% of so called Dating i know always Be Intimate involved and that is the qualms.

If there can ever be a Dating WITHOUT ANYTHING LIKE SEX let alone sex itself, i can call that Courting because am sure Courting is permitted by God.

God's major concern is NO PRE-MARITAL SEX for any reason Whatsoever, Whether Dating or Courting.
That is not always the case! If like you said 90% of dating Involves SEX, that means 10% of dating Doesn't! wink

I have the exact same feeling every other human being has towards himself. A feeling that has been cultivated and nurtured all through the decades of evolution, it is called self-preservation. No "love" there, no reason to glorify it and call it "love".

^^^^^my logic is  simple. If God approves of marriage, he must approve of dating because, you cannot marry someone you have not dated,

There is indeed a whole world of difference between an objective human trait of self-preservation and a subjective misnomer called "love". The mere fact that one has been exhaustively proven to exist by science, and the other has not, has broken the womanly hymen of scientific proof already!

I agree with you too. But there is nothing "Logical" about it! Logic has to do with scientific reasoning! And you'll agree with me that you dont need science to prove if God Approves dating! Dating is not a science topic! undecided

Hmm, freaky thread we got here, never thought that some people are still doubting what God has to offer. I hate logic and love what's right, do whats right and damn the atheist hypocrite facts.
Re: Does God Approve Dating? by tEsLim(m): 11:04am On Jul 25, 2011
Well the topic should have been "Christians, does our God approve Dating?" And not throwing the topic to muslims, atheist, naturalist, pagans, and everyone else together. That way a lot of people wont have bothered to look into the thread.

And on definition of LOVE this is what I will put to you:

Love is a false illusive state of mind, often misunderstood for sex or lust, which is real. Sex is real and true - physically and emotionally, because you truely know it when you are having sex, unlike the doubtful state of love, which basically depends on denied mutual benefits between two or more partners. And in some cases preference or likeness for a particular partner could be seen as something special, which is sometimes interpreted to being in-love with the preferred one. In a nutshell when there is nothing mutual to share there is no LOVE, just sentiments that wears out later.

I'm not a deist neither do I want to be identified as an atheist; but I dont believe in relgions, love, trust -- they're just elements of mass manipulation.

What's wrong with using that phrase?
Re: Does God Approve Dating? by pendo89(f): 11:10am On Jul 25, 2011
Read my post well. I said[b] if you profess christianity [/b]then you must abide by the rules set down by the founder Himself and that includes resisting all manner of temptations that may lead to sin.kissing is not bad but if not handled well may lead to fornication. Thats simple to understand.
And God doenst care whether you kiss or not! Hes more worried about you falling into sin as a result of that action.Just use your head,No wonder I said mature and responsible dating.

However,If you [b]are not [/b]a believer then hey! do your thing simple! There are no godly rules governing your life so whom are you trying to please anyway?

So yeah that topic was throw out to everybody(christians,muslims,aethists,jujus,witches,aliens and the rest) no wonder the conflicting replies.

The earlier we Africans learn to discard these Abrahamic faiths and their doctrines, the better for us. Our irrational passion for these irrational belief systems is what is responsible for the high level of under development in Africa!

Re: Does God Approve Dating? by claremont(m): 11:45am On Jul 25, 2011

There is indeed an established correlation between a society's passion for religion, and it's lack of development. It has been proven that the most religious societies are also the most under developed, Nigeria is a classical example. It therefore means that there must be something in religion that prevents a society from developing and it's people from thinking.

Re: Does God Approve Dating? by paris10: 11:51am On Jul 25, 2011
You know what i've noticed? There's no simple answer anywhere. If you're asked to define constitution in Law, you don't just define constitution, you also touch areas like types of constitution, separation of powers, parliamentary sovereignty, kinds of constitutions (primary & secondary) and so on to get a higher mark.

Likewise this question, you don't just answer yes, tell us your rational (reason) and give examples.
Re: Does God Approve Dating? by pendo89(f): 11:54am On Jul 25, 2011

Then Nigeria is not Africa and Africa is not Nigeria.
If guys there are gullible enough then God is not to blame!! We ourselves are!!
Underdevelopment and religion?  undecided undecided  
well to some little extent yes, but only where people are not exposed to reality or are not well educated or have nothing else to hope for in life and therefore turn to religion as refuge.
So are you telling me that nigerians are less educated or have nothing else to hope for but hide under religion resulting in economic stagnation?
