Why do you want a relationship when you could have a bunch of different women, thus passing on your DNA more effectively? A bunch of different women? Do you mean like ... oh, I don't know ... 700 wives and 300 concubines? That would seem to count as "a bunch of different women."Along those lines, why not just rape women if you can get away with it? You're in luck, pal. The Old Testament, that perfect guide to morality, does let you get away with it under certain circumstances.
Because... rape causes vast amounts of suffering, for the victim, their family and friends, and for your own family and friends when they find what you've done?
And... if you found out for certain that God didn't exist, you'd rape people? *stays well clear*
Desire to assure that the children that you do have are successful for the former, basic human empathy for the latter. I'm sure that since such ideas as rape being bad and desire to see your children happy aren't written explicitly in the Bible that such motivations would never occur to you. Poor little thing.

In the olden days with much higher mortality rates it would make at least some sense, but in the 21st century, simply passing on your DNA isn't enough; there's that matter of quality-over-quantity. One would rather make 2 successful, productive and psychologically well-balanced babies, than 12 failures who would go online thinking only God is what keeps men from raping women.

Ever heard of this guy called "Conscience"? I fear that if I dared to do any such thing as defiling another human being's honor, this Conscience fellow would tear my very mind asunder. I have been beaten up by him in the past over minor offences, and one of the things I've learned is that he runs a lot faster than me.
I would like a relationship because I enjoy emotional intimacy as well as physical intimacy, and whilst the latter can be acquired in many ways (most quite expensive) the former is much rarer. Certainly, neither can be acquired through rape since rape involves dominating and abusing someone against their will.
tl;dr? I want a relationship because I like the idea, and I wouldn't rape someone because I don't like the idea. Enough said.
1) Couplings not a construct of your God, it a construct of society. Proof: Marriage occurs all over the world, further back than any religion
etc etc
It always the Christian mind that sees the deviant lifestyle as something society or the non-religious would tolerate. Every culture on this planet has developed the values above without a religious base.
Evolution does have something to say about this. If your only concern is passing on your DNA, then you won't mind if the women you impregnate (and the men who care about them) just kill you afterwards. That's fine; you will have fulfilled your biological function.
Once a dick, always a dick?

But, anyway, a lasting relationship is better for me because i can’t always drive myself to the emergency room. A series of lovers would be more difficult to get one of them to get a sitter for my DNA legacy and come get me. And that’s assuming i can reach the phone.

Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
