Actually going to church is more likely to get a woman pregnant. Because despite what their own book teaches churches always pressure you to get married and raise a family as fast as you can, above all else.

Churches are hotbeds of infidelity and sex abuse.

They really are. Pedo priests are rampant. Protestants slam Catholics for this and it turns out they're doing the same thing. Most talks about "sexual morality" have nothing to do with morals and everything to do with whatever fetish the pastor has. This is why they're so obsessed with gender roles and putting women in their place, because it's the pastor's sexual fantasy and he wants all the women to give him sexual excitement. You can tell because they bash deviants under the guise of sexual morality, but in practice don't care about sexual immorality as long as its a kind the pastor likes. So things like divorce, cheating, and sometimes polygamy are de-facto permitted, even though they may publicly speak against them so they can have an excuse to bash other things. Funny how the former things are the ones Jesus would've been against.

Don't forget muslims, jews and buddhists... and literally all monks/priests of almost any religion.

It's a pointless pursuit, unless you actually want to do it. Which you'll find more than enough people do.

It's not a pointless pursuit. Married people are statistically happier and more stable/productive and their children even more so, adding to the overall health and stability of society that will permeate into future generations. I can't think of anything less objectively pointless.

Because they happen to fit nature's mold. Of course they'll be happier, because they're able to do what makes them happy. But not everyone does fit that mold, and these are unable to do what would make them happy. And doing what would make another person happy may not make them happy.

It's not a pointless pursuit. You are an automaton naturally-selected for that very purpose.

I don't care.

That's exactly what their own book teaches.

Matthew 19:

10 The disciples said to Jesus, “If the relationship of the man with his wife is like this, it is better not to marry.” 11 But He said to them, “Not all men can accept this statement, but only those to whom it has been given. 12 For there are eunuchs who were born that way from their mother’s womb; and there are eunuchs who were made eunuchs by people; and there are also eunuchs who made themselves eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. The one who is able to accept this, let him accept it.”

1 Corinthians 7:

1 Now concerning the things about which you wrote, it is good for a man not to touch a woman. [2-5 INTERPOLATION] 6 But this I say by way of concession, not of command. 7 Yet I wish that all men were even as I myself am. However, each has his own gift from God, one in this way, and another in that...28 But if you marry, you have not sinned; Yet such people as yourselves will have trouble in this life, and I am trying to spare you...32 One who is unmarried is concerned about the things of the Lord, how he may please the Lord; 33 but one who is married is concerned about the things of the world, how he may please his wife, 34 he is divided. The woman who is unmarried is concerned about the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and spirit; but one who is married is concerned about [the things of the world,] how she may please her husband. 35 I say this for your own benefit, not to put a restraint on you, but to promote what is appropriate and to secure undistracted devotion to the Lord.

LOL another so-called Christian who doesn't know what their own "holy" book says.
