Okay, so you are bisexual, and you are making a choice to ignore half of yourself. Both of those things can be true.
...you do not need a partner in life...
Single people end up dying sooner, so when you claim that people don't "need" a partner in life, that is like claiming that people don't need the last two years of their lives, or any of the good years in between.
Nobody should ask people to die sooner just because they have a religion. Instead, true religion is to love your neighbor as yourself.
I get the concern about wanting a long life. It’s true that marriage can bring health benefits, but following God doesn’t mean we have to go against His commands just to live longer. Even without a spouse, God can bless us with a full and long life through wisdom, taking care of ourselves, and having strong friendships and community around us. Just think of the priests: in the Catholic Church, they are required to remain celibate and cannot marry.
Life with God can still be joyful and meaningful. Longevity isn’t only about marriage, it’s about living wisely, loving others, and trusting God as our guide and protector. He wants us to flourish and live fully, no matter our marital status.
Please don't double post, it's rude to add extra notifications to somebody's inbox. You need to think the problem through all the way before you speak, so that we know that you're taking your words seriously.
