Maher to Stewart: ‘Drugs are good, religion is bad’ and Obama’s spirituality is ‘bullsh*t’

115. Um, no.

"But it seems to me you want it to be a bad thing because there are bad people who use it to justify their deeds."

They 'use it' because it specifies it. The Abrahamic tradition's source documentation is rife with misogyny, homophobia, genocide, etc. Don't pretend they are inventing some perverse translation/mutation of the documents, they speak for themselves.

"And again you confuse the rewards of sex with the purpose of it"

Purpose implies a designer. The universe exhibits all the hallmarks of design, without purpose. All you need to obtain design is something that is copied with variation, and copies are selected against by any number of pressures, the end result is design. Purposeless, unguided, design.

Sex fills any number of social roles quite apart from basic reproduction. It is not for you to declare what the 'purpose' of sex is. We can observe that it is used for many purposes across many species. You seem ignorant of the entire field of Evolutionary psychology research.

"And pair bonding is also biological because of biological differences in male and female...that too is obvious."

Explain, then, pair-bonds and identical emotional responses in same-sex partnerships; such as jealousy.

"But today it is no longer important because we are no longer hunter gathers but units of consumption in a system never before experienced on this earth"

Someone should tell the Gibbons that they too are no longer hunter gatherers, because they exhibit fluid sexual identity as well. If your reason holds, it must also be true of them. Also dolphins. (And many more)

"and we have come to believe that it is normal and seemingly denying the science of biology."

You have an enormous biology blind spot, around at the very least, evolutionary psychology. And there are relevant fields outside Biology on this subject as well.
