why should we be any different? well...males technically aren't naturally meant to be monogamous...but females are, to an extent anyways. And what women want, women get

Too true. I think it's known as the "seven year itch." Seven years after having their first child, women get the urge to mate with another male, to attempt to spread their gene's.

So yes, human's are biologically not meant to be monogamus, but through the ages we have invented such things as "commitment" and "self control" and "love".

But come now, then religon would REALLY have no excuse to force itself into people lives other than funerals, and marriage is good for tax purposes anyway.

Um.....exactly.

religion does have no right be forced into our lives. I dont even believ at funerals it should. I went to my aunts funeral after she died ( usually when it happens.) and she nor I are religious, but the Preist, or Preacher or whatever thought the death of my aunt was a key opportunity to recruit people to Christianity, aand he started talking about all sorts of things we should attend, and how the lord is blessing us. It made me want to punch him really hard.

And Marriage is so stupid i think, im not saying i wont get married, i mean, if a man marries a woman, and they get devorced, BAM! there goes half of your money.

EXAMPLE: My grandma bought a house, and she was slightly loaded ( with money, not booze) and she married a guy after she bought the house, then they got devorced. He got the house. Why? Who knows. He didnt pay for it. And he got the majority of her money, now she lives in a little sh*thole apartment because she cant afford otherwise.
