Can I put that on a t-shirt? Seriously. Amen. I don't think so.. I didn't come up with it; It's the tagline for Chasing Amy, Kevin Smith's third movie (1997). It's a really good movie, you should see it. Well, I thought it was good. It is a Kevin Smith movie, so it's got lots of profanity. Of course, if all you did was write it.. and not print/sell it, you should be fine I love Kevin Smith.. he's awesome. *grins* (edit)

Actually, it's debatable that his removal caused more problems than it solved.. it created a vacuum and in that vacuum entered utter chaos. He was a miserable human being, whom I have no respect for, naturally, but I wonder if the ends justify what we did. Of course they had a good reason. You don't believe what they do. Just like you had an excellent reason for killing those who don't believe as you do... because they don't agree with you

Do you like, have him on speed dial? I could use that....

I've reread my post, and the only thing I can find is "bastard", which is the word I found in the bible. Is that what you meant? I'm honestly not trying to be sarcastic, I don't know what you're referring to. It's kind of hard to say this without sounding like I'm mocking you, which I'm not... but it's a long post, I need you to point out what word you mean, or I won't be able to stop.

Wow. Allah is their God. Mohammed was their prophet. I can see you know a great deal about Islam, and therefore are in a wonderful position to not only judge, but condemn. Wait.. didn't your God say "judge not"? Whoops! And did he die a sinner in your God's eyes, or Allah's? And is this a problem for Allah? If not, why are we having this discussion? You want me to cite Christians? Sure, here are a two: Hitler BTK Killer (Bind, Kill Torture killer) There are many, many more, naturally... and many alive today, but unfortunately, they're not entrenched deeply enough for you to be unable to deny their iniquity (*COUGH* Ann Coulter, Pat Robertson). According to a survey, 80% of prisoners (in jail...) are Christian. 0.2% are atheists. But 78% of the US pop. is Christian.. vs. 10% atheist. hm.... How the heck do you know your religion is right? Muslims think their God talks to them too, and there are at LEAST 1.2 billion of them, as many as 1.5. Maybe there's something to that...hm.. Secondeve, georgesbluegirl, arialia and Vox made FOUR good posts in succession! *Sigh*... too bad I'm an atheist... doesn't let me PM anyone =P Eve, are you agnostic? Or Jewish... or something? Theist or otherwise, you make intelligent posts, which is rare, in my experience. Lol, high five for having an IQ more than one SD above normal

Bah.. quotes not working again, quotes are in bold now. Moral is, I hesitate to put anyone in a box. Well, except dead people. I find it interesting that some people spend all their time and effort trying to prove that homosexuality is an acceptable lifestyle. There is no grey area in the Bible about this topic. It is clearly a sin and called an abomination. So much for your name, Pax No peace for you I am of the mind that once a person "gives over" into that perverse mindset of homosexuality, then there is a "giving over" into the demonic. When that happens, certain changes can certainly occur in the brain, and can be detected chemically or otherwise, but it is all the result of satanic control and tampering. This is exactly what I'd expect from someone like you. This all the tests in the world may show a difference in the brain, but it occurs AFTER the release of one's control to the evil, not before. Oh, thank GOODNESS we've got an expert here. Tell me, oh great one, why do babies who later grow up to be homosexual immediately look at attractive people of their OWN sex? Do you honestly think you can change your sexual orientation? That's insane. I would never sleep with another guy.. not for any amount of money in the world. Why? Because it's wrong? No... because to me, it's disgusting and I would be haunted for the rest of my life. But gay people not only have a right to be with who they want, they're born that way, and there's nothing wrong with it. It's not who you love, it's how. homosexuality is a sin, one that God abhors, and one that He says will cause eternal separation from His kingdom. So is being born a bastard (out of wedlock)- or if anyone on your parent's side has been- for the last 10 generations. Good luck... better start tracing your heritage now Oh, by the way... Edited Mocking*********** You were saying..? Tsk, tsk, don't you even read this book you put so much stock in? God is not cruel. He would never create a person for the sole purpose of sending them to hell. I form the light and create darkness, I make weal and create woe, I am the LORD, who do all these things. I'm sorry, I didn't quite catch that last thing you said..? (i put the plural in parenthesis because a rape victim or incest victim is generally not a willing participant.) Rape victims are never willing participants.. and "incest victim" implies victimization, implying rape, which again, isn't what they want. Care to reword what you've just said? Which commandment does homosexuality break? Why would it matter anyway? It has nothing to do with God.. it's personal. They don't like it. That's why Christians are so divided on it. I was thirteen before I finally accepted that I had no reasonable argument against homosexuality, something I'd known all along, but didn't want to think about, because it made me uncomfortable (well, gay men... lesbians are another story.. *cough*). The point is that homosexuality, if one believes it is a sin, is no different than any other sin that man commits. An excellent point, and one I've tried to make, but they won't listen. Also, the passages in the bible are ambiguous at best, and have been translated out of a language anyway. Two, actually. Most likely mistranslated. what does that matter? nothing to those who don't care i suppose. but it matters greatly to those who desire to know God, serve God, and live eternally with God. God isn't cruel, but he made us so we could serve him.... by fulfilling laws he made specifically for us. He created a problem, then made us solve it ourselves. We serve him by serving him. Isn't that circular? And if you get into heaven, what's your purpose? What happens if you sin there? I'm not a bigot, i don't hate homosexuals, but i do hurt for their lack of a relationship with their creator. What about asexuals? I know a couple of those. And yes, you are a bigot of sorts, though perhaps not the hateful kind. You've told us that God thinks it's a sin.. but why? What possible reason could there be? Support it from scripture now. As in, actual reasons.

If you're only worrying about whether it's a sin or not, that sort of indicates you're only looking out for yourself....

People are indoctrinated in many ways, not just religion. Some are made to hate gays, or liberals, or jews, or blacks, or just anyone that doesn't agree with them. It's sad, but it's universally true everywhere (as in, every where you go, not necessarily every church or school).
