Yet, even though man was created in God's image, and God created angels to serve him and live with him, they were all male, and Jesus hung around with twelve dudes. Man being born with innate homosexual feelings is wrong? How is that so, isn't man simply following how he was created in the image of the one who created him? Sounds awful hypocritical.
Humans are free moral agents. Which means that despite who created them and how they are free to choose good or evil. Homosexuality being an example of evil of course.
Learn to use quote tags, fucker. Also, you just said RIGHT IN THIS THREAD that you wanted more laws based on the Bible. You don't see why we have separation of church and state? Because someone with more power and charisma than you could ever hope to have with your views could very well bring about Christian Sharia Law and idiots like yourself would support it.
So why are all the angels mentioned male, had males names, or were described as male? What makes it evil? An obscure reference in a fairy tale book?
Yes I do. I believe they have an agenda of trying to discover how nature and the universe works, rather than simply accepting the word of a 2000 year old books whose author/s we don't even know. Given that science has increasingly debunked religious claims over the centuries, especially in the past 100 years, to the extent that the majority of religious people who exist today have an altered set of beliefs from those of, say, 700 years ago (precisely because they have had to alter their beliefs and "reinterpret" scripture to still be credible - well, unless there are idiots out there who still believe in, for instance, magical unicorns) it strikes me as far more logical to favour the opinion of someone trying to explore these questions of nature, rather than simply relying on the word of an unknown author. At least the scientist can put forward to me a logical, credible argument based on research and examination. Someone saying "because the Bible says it's a sin" certainly isn't performing that level of analysis. They're just regurgitating a story someone else wrote for them.
You have no idea what Sharia law is do you? I can understand you being ignorant as to what it is and therefore not understanding my post, which is that Sharia is a code of laws and ethnics based on religious belief that is interwoven into the laws and fabric of Islamic society. I asked you if you wanted more of your own religious beliefs interwoven into the laws and fabric of society. You heartily agreed that you wanted to see that. So what you are seeking is basically the same thing as Shaira, namely religious based and influences laws. I suggestion you do a bit of basic research.
The phrase, "consenting adults" fixes everything. Oh wait, oppressors like Dayton and the Lonely Squire think a third party must also consent. Fuck them.
It's where a person is gay, but due to social constraints has to play it straight. Such constraints may even cause him to believe he is straight. But now and then, just as a play thing, it's okay to stray and pray.
Who is the third party? I'm trying to get my head around when Lonely Squire is saying, which seems to be: 1) Invisible Sky Man makes us in his image and loves us. 2) Invisible Sky Man gives us free will. 3) Invisible Sky Man punishes those who use free will to, ya know, live freely. 4) Invisible Sky Man stops loving you if you "sin" despite having the power to create a perfect human being that doesn't sin. So basically Invisible Sky Man created humans and gave them free will so that he could then judge and punish them. Rather sadistic I'd say. Invisible Sky Man sounds like a right cunt.
You and El Chup keep saying "Christian Sharia Law". Could you at least provide some details about what so called "Christian Sharia Law" actually entails?
You want a dog that returns to you because he wants to Or one that returns because you pull hard on its leash?
We already did. You clearly don't understand what Sharia Law is. Go and find out and you might understand the comparison. I already provided you with a link so you've got no excuse not to.
I believe in the Old Testament. But it wasn't written for Christians who didn't even exist back then.
A satisfying sex life is important for most people, like having friends, financial security, a good job, etc. I do not deny that. My point is that sexual identity or preferences should be considered like musical taste. Each to his/her/its own! As long as consenting adults are involved, there is no need to make a fuss about it. One day even the christian fascists and other religious creeps will understand this. And people who talk about their sexual identity all the time and revel in the topic ("I am genderfluid omnisexual homoqueer, I am so special, look at me!") will shut up one day, too. It SHOULD be a non-issue!
Wow. El Chup linked to the WIKIPEDIA!!! Talk about legal scholarship there. Even there about all they discuss regarding Christians is Christian Canon Law which involves Catholics primarily. I'm sure El Chup remembers how I regard Catholics.
So you're saying that humans are Invisible Sky Man's pet? If that's so, why would he want to punish his pets? If he created those pets and gave them the means to act as they want, then the ultimately responsibility is on him, not them. He is, after all, all powerful! Why create diseases, disaster, famine and countless other vile things that you can't explain away with free will? Please don't say it's him him testing us, because why does he need to test us by killing many of us? Why kill what you love? Do you kill you pet dog "just because"? He is omnipotent. He doesn't need to do any of that if he loves us. As an omnipotent being he has it within his power to create paradise and create human beins that can have free will but that are not violent and are not subject to natural disasters, etc. After all, he can do it anything. Invisible Sky Man sounds a bit like a spouse abuser. On one hand he says he loves his wife (humanity) and on the other hand he grabs a baseball bat and smashes her in the head to "test" her because he gave her freedom and she did not obey her rules. Like I say, Invisible Sky Man is a sadist, and he's clearly lying when he professes his love for us...
For a "Christian", you seem to have a pretty poor understanding of why somebody might have taken that risk. The answer is rather obvious to anybody who doesn't see religion as a method of maintaining appearances.
Henceforth El Chup, I'm not replying to any of your comments about religion as long as you say "Invisible Sky Man" (or something similar) instead of "God". Fair enough.
You don't see me denying that homosexuals have always existed, do you? Hopefully their condition can be modified/corrected at some point and probably many of them would take advantage of this. There's no hate involved, but they should be cured, not coddled.
