Because it's the done thing.

Because it's an excuse for a party.

Because it's an excuse for a holiday.

Religious people, why do you use computers, they were invented by science, not god.

Just wondering.
When I religious, I wanted to get married because I felt that at the ceremony, god blessed our marriage and that after it, I was then free to consummate it.
But I don't really see the appeal of it after becoming atheist.
Thoughts?


Same, it's a silly outdated tradition.


If marriage didn't exist, would you invent it?
The gain they receive with status and a ring to flash to be recognised as an official couple.
