This debate is not about me personally, it is about marriage and how it is bad for men. Personalizing the issue will never win you the debate on the merits.

I would never challenge you for your convictions on marriage.
Well perhaps you are quite a bit smarter than your "Christian" cohort, MrMan. There is no defending the indefensible.

All I stated is the truth for it to be seen. You are free to reject it.
Your particular "truth" was to attempt to divert the discussion into a religious one. It was a major fail. Many people who cannot justify things with logic and common sense often try to pull in religious justifications because they are irrational, replete with magical thinking, guilt induction, fear, and blind faith despite all evidence to the contrary. Bright people see right through strategy so that too was a major fail. You can't religiously shame someone who does not give a sh.t about religion. Just as a Muslim can't shame us into doing Jihad, a "Christian" can't shame clever men into marriage.
Nice try though!

Some men can handle marriage. Some men can't.
I see..... It is kind of like some men can handle prison; Some men can't. Some men can handle losing all their money, self-respect, and masculinity; some men can't. Some men can handle getting beat within an inch of their lives; some men can't.
Here's a thought.... How about just rejecting those negative things that have to be "handled?"
