Men and women have different fates (ritual, beliefs, spiritual, faith)

Ignoring the pleasures of physical existence enables us to rise above it

Do you believe that men cannot ignore the pleasures of physical existence?

I think she means that men just rot in the ground while women are reborn or may ascend to the watch-star with Freya.

I think I would phrase it that men should not ignore the pleasures of physical existence.

Both men and women end up in the ground. Only a tiny minority of women will hear Frya's call.

Do you believe that men cannot commune with the divine?

So if thats the case; then what's the point of being a nice person? I can just do all the nasty things in the universe and in the end I'd be just like some1 who did all the good things in ths universe and end up 'in the ground'

Being a nice person makes our life on earth better.

What utter nonsense. What can be done about it? I guess just ignore any transendental experience by men. Oh wait that's what happens anyway...just ask the wives.

Do "pleasures of the physical realm" according to Famism include food?
