My point is that god is the solo reason to why those *traditional values* were even applied in the first place.As our world becomes more and more secular it will become even more degenerate.May god have mercy on us all.
This is a chicken or the egg scenario, you think God is the reason traditional values exist, I think religion and traditional values were created to function as God
You think the men who came up with all of these rules were just completely oblivious to the fact that enforced monogamy would make men more willing to work, less willing to commit crimes, more giving to society, etc?
Lol of course not, these men knew what they were doing, and knew that the "laymen" of society could not handle straight forward and harsh truths, so they had to create emotional reasons for rules to get people to abide by them
I think people forget that there is an objective side to everything, but we only ever want to believe the "emotional appeals"
Think about Christmas for example, the only reason its a Christian holiday today, is because Christians made it so on purpose to try to convert pagans into Christians, they basically co-opted a pagan holiday (Yule) to welcome and indoctrinate pagans into Christianity
Yet we treat Christmas like its some kind of magical day that's definitely the birthday of Jesus, complete nonsense, a lot of everything that happened in history had
OBJECTIVE reasons, but the wise people of the past know how most humans are, and know that shit needs to be sugar coated so that the "tough decisions" can be made, because the average human is naive and an emotional thinker, so all actions need to be veiled in some emotional reasoning
Religion was created because "serve God and go to eternal paradise" sounds a lot better than "be a civil member of society so that you can worry less about being killed"
Traditional values exist because "chastity and virginity before marriage is wholesome, monogamy is moral" sounds a lot better than "women are a resource, and we need a reasonable and fairly equal distribution of sex and reproduction among men to ensure that they become civil and active members of society"
There's always an objective reason that is veiled in emotional BS to get humans to comply
