Oh man, to add on to the list of "lols" I get when I read some women's profiles on the internet dating sites:
"I'm looking for a serious relationship, you should know how to treat a woman [and make me your priority], because I'm worth it."
Further down the profile...
"My kids are my life, they're first priority so you'll just have to deal with that if you want to date me."
Excuse me while I go to the chiropractor for the whip-lash you just gave me. You want a serious relationship, where I'm making you a priority. However, you won't give a guy the same consideration? Next.
Taking care of your marriage IS taking care of your kids.

that seems reasonable
insofar as anything involving the inherently unreasonable act of having children can be anyway

do you expect her to be like
sorry kids I got a man now
take care of yourselves
It's not like that, You and your partner are partners. You take care of each other, and together you take care of the kids. There is no 1st priority, 2nd priority bullshit. The family is the priority. There's no conflict of interest, only balancing questions.

This was the point I wanted to drive at (horribly, I know); we're all the same priority in a committed family unit, and the fact that some of these women are coming out and saying that there is some sort of ranking, or that they consider the prospective male to be subservient to the mother/child relationship (vs. the family unit relationship) makes me laugh. A lot.

Lady, can I tell you why you haven't been able to find a good man?
You apparently don't want one.

Man this Java project is going to be 6 days late tomorrow and I keep putting off doing it.
A question, from an off-topic thought arising from the Islam thread: do Christian Evangelicals in the US (on the popular level, not as a matter of doctrine) generally believe that the other gods and/or spirits of other religions don't exist, or exist as demons or some other assorted agent of evil?
Because I have met impressively many members of apparently-US-influenced churches overseas that worried about things like Halal meat, too. Or walking over joss-sticks. That one seemed tricky to abide by, given that the penchant in Southeast Asian countries can be to plant joss-sticks everywhere and so avoiding said shrines is tantamount to walking on the road.
They believe that the other monotheists have it wrong, and that:
Jews should realize that Jesus was the Christ, and adopt the New Testament teachings.
Muslims should do the same.
Catholics worship false idols, and should stop that.
Mormons were fooled by their false prophets, and should discard them all and come back to the fold.
Other religions are just plain wrong and their deities don't exist.
Lots of hardcore evangelicals/charismatics believe that there are demons and the works of the devil all around us, and that yes, Allah, Buddha etc are evil spirits trying to trick us.
Huh. Which denominations teach this? I know most of the Fundamentalist ones believe in devils and demonic possession, but I hadn't heard any of them actually teaching that eastern deities were demons sent to trick humanity.
Neither have I, but popular mythology can and does differ from doctrinal theology, or there would be less "New Agers are Satanists" ideas floating around. The extent of such things seems to vary from region to region though, at least from my experience.

The US religious scene is basically a ton of splintered groups anyway, so the actual doctrine can vary pretty greatly.

If we are to talk to tag's hypothetical, it would probably be best not to make a point one's status as first priority if one is not going to reciprocate. No need to reciprocate, just don't make a point of it in the first place.
