“Man is more than merely an animal to exist and propagate his species,” wrote noted author and one-time president of Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society Joseph Franklin Rutherford. “His mind gives him [the] capacity to search out the great truths in God's arrangement and this lifts him far above the other animal creation.”
“Oh yeah, right,” God responded, chuckling. “You should have seen that guy. He was nailing everything that moved. Puh-lease.”

God explained that if he had intended for romantic love to exist, he would not have created all the ridiculous traps that also work to undermine its existence: things like infidelity, heartbreak, codependency, genital herpes and stupidity.

“Man is more than merely an animal to exist and propagate his species,” wrote noted author and one-time president of Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society Joseph Franklin Rutherford. “His mind gives him [the] capacity to search out the great truths in God's arrangement and this lifts him far above the other animal creation.”
“Oh yeah, right,” God responded, chuckling. “You should have seen that guy. He was nailing everything that moved. Puh-lease.”

God explained that if he had intended for romantic love to exist, he would not have created all the ridiculous traps that also work to undermine its existence: things like infidelity, heartbreak, codependency, genital herpes and stupidity.

“Take this ‘Rock of Love’ show that’s on TV now,” God said. “Do you think I would want those people to reproduce? Or even be happy? Talk about a direct path toward de-evolution. I mean, Jesus Christ, people. Oh, uh … sorry, son.”

He pointed to the fact that romantic love fails more than it succeeds as yet more evidence against its existence as an actual human emotion. The emotions, He said, are what come after that feeling has gone away: Anger, sadness, confusion, jealousy, etc. He added, “A romantic relationship is a bad idea from the get-go, because it can end in only one of two ways: Someone leaves or someone dies.”

God said that a number of scientific studies have gotten it almost right – romantic love isn’t an emotion, it’s a powerful shot of dopamine that hits the brains of vertebrates when they think they’ve found someone to hook up with.
