Even though the Bible never actually claims to be the word of God (in fact, it never claims to be true or accurate either)

Well, what does the Bible say on the subject?

Every Scripture is God-breathed and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for instruction in righteousness,

II Timothy 3:16 (WEB)

Circular reasoning? yes. But it is all three of those things, right there in the text.

Or a person in Saudi Arabia. Damned if you do, damned if you can't.

That was hilarious until I looked more closely and realized your username wasn't "eugene is wrong".

It took me upwards of an hour to get hosed the first time. WhyTF would I try it again?

No -- I know I'm in the minority here on /., but I'm actually pretty old-fashioned and am religious. I've read accounts of the system behind eHarmony, and in my case, I think the red flag I hit was that I'm "too pessimistic" -- apparently I saw the "I'm completely happy with my life in every way exactly as it is right now" option, took it literally, and chose "Disagree strongly" because I was NOT happy being single. Kind of a Catch-22, but if they only want to break up happy couples, more power to 'em, but they won't be doing that to ME.

I know one person in real life who tried to use eHarmony. He spent an hour and a half filling out that fscking personality test, only to be told that I — I mean, "he" — wasn't even worthy trying to match up. And he actually WANTED to give them money!

... but you get the added benefit of constantly being berated by society for not "manning up" and marrying the whores.

Amen. This comment should be the article.

So that's why the only app on my tablet was "Enki Birds"!
