"It's not *rape* rape" quote explained???

So many snarky things I could say, but long story short, allegedly Hollywood is lousy with pedophiles:

I guess the good news about this is, maybe it explains actormike's failure to break into acting as him not necessarily sucking.

The other good news about this is 14th Doctor lives a long way from Hollywood.

Hey man, but let's support every other kind of sexual deviance - we can draw a magic line in the sand!!!!

Damn right I draw a line in the sand between what consenting adults do and what adults abusing children do.

I personally find it disgusting.

This is utterly shocking. I am surprised beyond conception.

I got yer "tip of the iceberg" right here!

you don't see any difference between homosexuality and child rape?

well that's just sad.

Children need to be protected from predators. Gays do not need to be protected from themselves. Let them and God work out their path.

Gays need more help, since they can't just run away from the person threatening them.

Since when can these kids run?

Gays can run and run and run until they accept themselves.

But with gays, it's more like prance around.

You? I thought you were fat and thus not the greatest runner?

lol, this produces an odd mental image...

...

Am I blind or did you just insinuate it's better to be a child victimized by pedophiles than it is to be gay?

I phrased that poorly, though my intentions in wording won't matter to most here.

A gay person is fighting something internal, whereas a victim of pedophilia is fighting something that can be stopped with an arrest, etc.

Both things are horrible.

It amazes me that some of you still engage Apustule as though he were more than a gristle-brained mongoloid from the urinal end of the gene pool.

This is horrible to you?



I fail to see the horror.

You're just JEALOUS of potato salad and me!


YOU CAN'T STOP OUR LOVE!

George Lucas was a pedophile. That's why he had all those Ewoks in ROTJ.

Why do you insist on passing judgement on situations that are none of your business? How do you know what goes on people's personal lives and what God thinks of it?

You don't and can't. You should be concerned with one thing only....the beam in your own eye. Treat gays as you should everyone else: with brotherly love and compassion. And hurling insults and passing judgement against them is not brotherly love.

That's one of the things about him, he professes to be a Christian yet has more judgements against everyone than Carter has liver pills. Judge not lest ye be judged.
If I had to guess I'm thinking when his Judgement Day comes he may be in for a serious shock and a whole lot of humiliation and humility.

Somewhere along the line he skipped over the part bout us all being God's children. That's gonna bite him in the ass.

I'm not hurling judgement against them. Judgement, in the context of "Judge not, let ye be judged" was literally "Don't stone this woman!"

I'm not out stoning gays. I'm not calling for gays to be stoned. I'm not knocking on doors harassing gays. I'm not calling for them to be fired from their jobs.

But I will not try to make them feel good about their perversion.

The hell you're not.

What part of assesing them as perverts isn't judgement?

Not your job and defintely far below your pay grade.

Like I said, we all answer for our shortcomings in the end. Wouldn't want to be in your shoes that day.

The flip side to that, the one you can't extract, is that it's also not incumbent upon you to make them feel badly, or otherwise spread animosity toward them for something which you, personally, have decided is a perversion.

The privilege of having the freedom to make that decision for yourself doesn't come with a license to impose it on every/anyone else.

Burn them at the stake.

Greek translation of "judge" in this context:

Not true that it's about stoning per se.

Matthew 7 1-5:

Nothing to do with stoning...it's about not being a hypocrite. We have no right to comment on other's sins when we are full of our own. The stoning incident was simply Jesus putting this concept into action. He could have righteously cast stones at that woman but was loving and merciful instead. An example we should all emulate.

The fact that you can't be loving and compassionate or merciful about gays simply means that God will handle your judgement in the way that you have judged others.

It's a good bet that apostle is a regular consumer of shrimp and other treyf... Making him just as much an abomination in the eyes of his god as the gays.

Wrong. Dietary laws are explicitly rescinded in the New Testament. In fact, my father in law tries to follow Old Testament dietary laws, and we view it as unchristian.

On the other hand, homosexuality, being married to more than one woman - all of these things are addressed in the New Testament and identified as not part of the conduct of a Christian.

Apostle is admitting that God is fallible and changed his Law? Interesting.

Bear, do you really think that you're going to have luck with a strategy that has failed for countless generations?

The purpose of the law has never been for God, but for the sake of man. Man could not fulfill the law and proved it. God made a better covenant.
