    Seems like pure cruelty. How is this the act of a loving god?

    I don't see any theists disagreeing.

    theist cant answer such questions with theology.

    This is a religious section, not a section on showing why women is better than man;

    Many a 'she' can suffer and bleed for seven days and still live, the 'son of god' died in three.

    So either this all-loving "god" fellow is cruel, or maybe he doesn't really exist.

    I guess its perspective and attitude. I'm approaching menopause----and closer to the time when my reproductive system will shut down. The closer I get---the more appreciative I am of how God created women to bring life into the world.

    Why would evolution do this? Why would a random process do this, when clearly, over billions of years of evolution, there are obviously more efficient ways of doing this?

    Or is it the most efficient way of producing babies? In which case ... why the question of the OP?

    Because we are looking for reasons to (*)(*)(*)(*) on Christians. Simple as that.

    Shame on you atheists.

    Women only have so many eggs, their monthly menstruation reminds them their supply is constantly dwindling. It's not punishment think of it as a reminder. In fact, if a woman is in a committed relationship, her man is subject to the same 'reminder.' Apparently God has a dark sense of humor. LOL

    Way to get it wrong.

    You know "evolution" isn't a sort of head office dictating stuff don't you?

    Get back to me on that one and we'll go through the others in your post.

    So your standard changes. On one hand, Dawkins makes the case of order arising out of chaos through evolution, complexity, etc, Yet you'll apply a completely different standard if you even so much as think that it will allow you to crap on a Christian.

    Standard atheist argue,entation and ever changing standards.

    I asked you to address one point and then we could work through the others. But no, you chose the irrelevancy route.

    Irrelevant.

    If you'd like to salvage the conversation be my guest, I'm happy to engage.

    Your point was adressed, just not the way you wanted. Deal with it.

    The idea that atheists can start little flame bait threads like this one, to feel smug and superior, amd them get pissed when someone actually rebuts? Yep, atheism.

    If its groupthink you want, you may want to avoid a debate forum.

    I guess for progressives the idea is that life is a punishment. Women's periods are actually the loss of life which even some indigenous tribal religions here in the US understand. So instead of celebrating life, progressives wish to take it and turn the cycle of life into a "punishment" for women. Why am I not surprised?

    THe simple fact of teh matter is that over billions of years, evolution has shown time and again to have favored the most efficient systems over inefficient system through natural selection. Yet now, here are a group of atheists claiming the opposite so they can mock God.

    Somehow, having that pointed out makes you upset - typical atheist 'logic', which is really emotional isn't it?

    Stop the tantrum. Act like an adult. We can have discourse when you're ready.

    You're not a progressive. Therefore you're just guessing.

    Nah, you're just too sensitive, that's all.

    Evolution, as I said, isn't a head office. It's a natural process. Adaptation is part of that broader idea. Efficient life-forms which get in early (sharks, crocodiles) don't need to adapt and stay pretty much as they have for many hundreds of thousands of years.

    What do you think about us humans in that regard?
