Its good to see this came out to happy ending. As I read all your posts this morning ( i need to catch up, fucking school ) I started to think that telephone may have been banned. I didn't see him post, but I also was keeping up with the time table on the posts. But nevertheless, like Cory said, BE RESPECTFUL TO ALL MEMBERS. Thats the fourth time its been said now. We should always remember what the rules are on this board. Don't the point the finger at the moderators or even the owner, they have the right to whatever the fuck they want, and we bend over like little girls for them. LOL j/k guys. Seriously, our opinions are our opinions, and like its been said, "Who are we to judge?" I don't mind gays @ all! I love lesbians, i don't mind gays, If I don't mind lebsians I have no right to be double standard and flame gays. We all live equally as men and women in this country. For the people who are against gays? We can't change that, I agree with whats been said. People who are against it will eventually have to accept it. Like how its gone with blacks with civil rights and women with equal rights. But Im just saying whats everybody has been saying. Glad we all can get along!
Originally posted by Cory This is something I had posted in another thread a few weeks back. All you people quoting from the bible saying homosexuality is not acceptable cuz the bible says its wrong, need to live by each and every one of these rules as well before saying another word. This is a letter evidently written to some rediculous religious guru:
Dear Dr. Laura
Thank you for doing so much to educate people regarding God's Law. I have learned a great deal from your show, and I try to share that knowledge with as many people as I can. When someone tries to defend the homosexual lifestyle, for example, I simply remind them that Leviticus 18:22 clearly states it to be an abomination. End of debate. I do need some advice from you, however, regarding some of the specific laws and how to follow them.
1. When I burn a bull on the altar as a sacrifice, I know it creates a pleasing odor for the Lord (Lev. 1:9). The problem is my neighbors. They claim the odor is not pleasing to them. Should I smite them?
2. I would like to sell my daughter into slavery, as sanctioned in Exodus 21:7. In this day and age, what do you think would be a fair price for her?
3. I know that I am allowed no contact with a woman while she is in her period of menstrual uncleanliness (Lev.15:19-24). The problem is, how do I tell ? I have tried asking, but most women take offense.
4. Lev. 25:44 states that I may indeed possess slaves, both male and female, provided they are purchased from neighbouring nations. A friend of mine claims that this applies to Mexicans, but not Canadians. Can you clarify? Why can't I own Canadians?
5. I have a neighbor who insists on working on the Sabbath. Exodus 35:2 clearly states he should be put to death. Am I morally obligated to kill him myself?
6. A friend of mine feels that even though eating shellfish is an abomination (Lev. 11:10), it is a lesser abomination than homosexuality. I don't agree. Can you settle this?
7. Lev. 21:20 states that I may not approach the altar of God if I have a defect in my sight. I have to admit that I wear reading glasses. Does my vision have to be 20/20, or is there some room for negotiation here?
8. Most of my male friends get their hair trimmed, including the hair around their temples, even though this is expressly forbidden by Lev.19:27. How should they die?
9. I know from Lev. 11:6-8 that touching the skin of a dead pig makes me unclean, but may I still play football if wear gloves?
10. My uncle has a farm. He violates Lev. 19:19 by planting two different crops in the same field, as does his wife by wearing garments made of two different kinds of thread (cotton/polyester blend). He also tends to curse and blaspheme a lot. Is it really necessary that we go to all the trouble of getting the whole town together to stone them? (Lev.24:10-16) Couldn't we just burn them to death at a private family affair like we do with people who sleep with their in-laws? (Lev. 20:14)
I know you have studied these things extensively, so I am confident you can help. Thank you again for reminding us that God's word is eternal and unchanging.

I don't understand how the Old Testament was the word of God for so long (and still is for the Jewish faith) but then the New Testament comes out and that's right...how about if another book was added to it now, would the New Testament be wrong all of a sudden?

My thoughts exactly!! If something was supposedly a sin when the old testament was written, why is it all of a sudden OK now in the new. makes no sense to me.
It's stuff like that which has caused me to become agnostic. I'd like to believe in something but my logical mind just can't follow any of the religions that I know much about.
there is no god...very simple...god is just something to believe in wheile we rot on this shit hole of a planet, and if we are good enough and repent for our sins, and give enough each week, in the collection basket, we just might make it to heaven...
oh, and I just love that there is one god, several prophets and 87 breaks offs of one general belief...cmon
i have worked with some gay people and know some and they know not to ack that way around me or even look at me.. you can be my friend but once you draw the boundries your fucking dead.. sorry thats my 3ccs.. general stalker
Originally posted by believer What a happy outlook on life! Faith in God, at the very least, gives someone hope....something seriously missing from the statement above. How sad.
Sad? Whats sad about believing in urself, and the people around you, and not something that you truly dont know exists? The bible is not proof, so please dont say that.
If you need hope, that life will get better after death, than maybe something is missing in ur life?
Cause as far as I know, this is the only life we get, and Im not gonna sit here and worry that everything I do is a sin...if Im wrong, you can laugh at me while I burn in hell, but for now, I'll continue living a guilt free life, without the worries of sin

Exactly!! You said it, buttercup!! :kiss:
I guess I'll burn in hell for making a flirtatious comment to another man...:eek:
I don't mean this to sound sarcastic, angry or anything like that, it's just out of curiosity that I ask: Why do homosexuals feel the need to display their sexual orientation?? I drive a lot and it seems like I see an awful lot of rainbow stickers lately.
Whats wrong with being proud of who you are??? Just because you are straight doesn't mean that is the "right" way !! I am bi-sexual and proud of it. I too, have thought of putting a rainbow sticker on my car because I am proud of the fact that I am openminded and love life and enjoy all that it has to offer. I think everybody should be able to live their life the way they want to and not have to worry about closeminded comments like this...
