There are many different tools in Satan’s toolbox. Modern dating is one of them. Modern dating will take the young person out of the house of God, will replace God in the young person’s life, will cause division among the young person’s friends and youth group and may possibly lead to the complete destruction of the young person’s testimony. Given the incredible dangers of modern dating, it is no wonder the devil uses the tool of modern dating to destroy so many lives. As we will see, the Lord has a definite plan for us to have a spouse. However, as we will also see, God does not intend for the Christian to take part in the modern dating scene.

Satan's Toolbox, Appearing this week at the stadium, Friday to Sunday, Sunday, Sunday
Or maybe it's a new hotrod tv show
Satan has a tool box?
With that said, I find hot nasty monkey sex to be much more gratifying than your Jeebus book of myths. I would rather be giving her the time of her life, hell, even window shopping for shoes, than sitting in your booring church and listen to your hypocrite preacher tell us how to live our lives using the phoney baloney Hell and Jeebus to scare us into submission.
A single orgasm, even a small one, is a billion times more sublime and awesome than your Jeebus and his inane parables.
The momentary embrace of a woman who has true love for me is SUBSTANTIALLY more important and profound than an eternity in your phoney baloney Heaven with your Jeebus.
So if "modern dating" is the problem, then what's the Biblical solution? Pray, pray, pray your future spouse just drops from the sky into your arms?
More on the subject from Randy-o:
Everyone who is not married is looking for a spouse. It is natural for us to want to be married.
Speak for yourself, Randy-o. After seeing what marriage does for/to a couple, I want nothing to do with it. After seeing how my friends' wives treat them, I want nothing to do with it.
More than that, it is natural for us to want a companion.
Wanting a companion I'll agree with but not in the same sense that Randy-o is suggesting. I'm sure cohabitating and making the concious decision not to have children are against God's plan and therefore nuthin' but a whole lot o' sin.
"The momentary embrace of a woman who has true love for me is SUBSTANTIALLY more important and profound than an eternity in your phoney baloney Heaven with your Jeebus."
Yes to that.
It's enough for me that I have had any kind of meaningful bond with the people I have genuinely loved in my life. No need to get greedy and wish/pray/mouth-breathe for an eternity we have to earn through the 'pop quiz' that life seems to be for the woefully religious.
If Mary had been allowed to date, maybe she wouldn't have been raped by god and then watched her eldest son flayed for a virgin sacrifice. In fact, dating could have saved millions and millions of lives.... pity.
God does not intend for the Christian to take part in the modern dating scene.
Well of course not. Because fun is ungodly.
Oh and WELCOME BACK RANDY!!!
Things I've learned from this post:
Satan actually has a toolbox.
Rather than war, disease, or famine, Satan prefers the tools of modern dating to destroy lives!
Satan uses the natural instinct of two young people falling in love vs. God's all-against-nature total repression.
Modern dating scene? What's so different about the "scene" than twenty years ago, when I was dating? Or twenty years before that, when my parents were dating.
Damn it, I have never dated. Poor me, or does that mean that Satan has not gotten to me? I had a friend who was very nice, I spent lots of times with him, then more and more, and suddenly we were living together. Is that dating? Ten years later we married, and ten years after that we are still together.
At the bottom of the page he says this:
"A clarification in terminology is needed. When we refer to "dating," we are not referring to a couple going out on a date. Instead, we are referring to the practice of a couple developing a one-on-one, romantic relationship that is exclusive of other people. Some people call this dating, some call it "going together" and some call it other things. In our study, we will use the term "dating.""
I'm confused, Randy -- isn't a "one-on-one romantic relationship" often called "marriage?" Isn't that what you earlier claim people want? Maybe in a future episode you can explain how people can find the partner they long for without developing a relationship to the exclusion of others.
La Femme: I think he means the relationship developing with little-to-not outside guidance/influence beyond the couple's understanding of divine ideals. He's probably in favor of "courtship", in which couples are always accompanied by others who can forestall any sort of pre-marital carnal escalation.
Argh, is this dickhead still around?! I thought he'd at last buggered off. That, or finally imploded into a huge pile of incoherent, gibbering bigotry. Alas, it appears not.
I want to know what else is in Satan's toolbox. What's his brand of choice for power tools: DeWalt, Bosch, Craftsman, Stanley, Hitachi? I gotta know.
It's called hormones, nature, reproduction, sexuality................hey, who created the world, in your little mind, Satan or God?
Gee, young people would rather snog and screw than spend all night reading the Bible and praising God. Shock! Horror! God perhaps prefers you to choose your spouse from a Russian mail order catalogue?
You fundies must have lives that are so dull that they make a pot plant's existence seem absolutely fantastic by comparison.
Poor Randy! Is teh Modern Dating keeping the juicy teenagers and pre-teens away from your thrall, and getting them interested in boys their own age instead? Whatever will you do? You'll have to try to date women your own age, and they are not impressed by you in the slightest, are they?
Right. It's better to do what they did in Bible times. Wait for the boy's family to offer the girl's family an ox or something.
Oh, wait, that's silly! We do live in the 21st century after all!
The modern day bride price should be an SUV at least.
I know I'll be called hippy-dippy or whatever...but nature is the REAL house of God! Yes, you can date in the great outdoors ;)
"Now concerning the things whereof ye wrote unto me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman. Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband."
- I Corinthians 7:1-2
Apparently Randy is quite correct. According to Paul (the true savior of the fundamentalists) marriage is a concession to weakness. So a true Christian will remain single and celibate, while one who marries is just a half-hearted hanger-on.
Hey Randy, aren't you married?
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
