Given the level of grief he suffered through at the loss of his baby son and later Absalom, how can you suggest he wasn't punished
Harming innocents to punish another is injustice, dead stop. That you don't grasp that is sad, but not at all surprising.
You might have a point with David's infant son. You don't have a point with Absalom who was a grown man and had murdered another son of David prior to his rebellion
[rodney]In my neighborhood, Yahweh was pretty rough, man. I'm telling you: rough! You committed a sin, He went after your family.[/rodney]
But not punished for him and Jonathon getting their freak on. And before you claim that this is some kind of "poetic license" or "allegory," I just want to point out that the two dudes absolutely locked lips. Sounds pretty gay to me. Of course, what the text meant in the original is open to interpretation. I dunno which definition the original author might have meant, but I'm not going to rule out anything, either. And David did say that Jonathon loved him better than a woman did. Yet, neither of them were stoned to death, as the Torah commanded happen at that time. Odd that. Almost as if books of the Bible weren't written when they were supposed to have been and that whole sections of it were cribbed from somewhere else. You might know that if you'd bothered to read the book I sent you 3 months ago after you promised to read it and post a book report here.
There is no evidence whatsoever that David and Jonathan were homosexuals. Both were married to women and had children which were undeniably there's. And for that matter there is the not so little matter of David lusting after Bathsheba, having sex with her, getting her pregnant and ultimately marrying her. Are you seriously suggesting that two men can't be extremely close friends without having homosexual tendencies? And I've read the book you sent me. It's garbage. Basically it simply goes with the basic assumption that "if it is mentioned in any other ancient text then it could not have originated in the Bible" which of course is a logical fallacy.
So, you're saying that it's impossible for gay people to have children? Because Vincente Minnelli certainly did. How many of your male friends have you kissed? And yet, you've failed to mention it until now. Okay, so what's your explanation for how stories which pre-date the Bible, or were written down before any of the scribes discussed the story could have heard of the Bible "just happened" to write down a story that's stunningly similar to that which appears in the Bible? Calling it a "logical fallacy" doesn't explain this, it merely describes what you believe. You want me to accept that as plausible, you're going to have to provide evidence for this.
None 1) But I personally abhor most physical contact. I don't even like shaking hands. 2) I know full well that there are many cultures where males friends kiss as a form of greeting or sign of affection but it has nothing to do with sexual feelings at all. [quote/] Okay, so what's your explanation for how stories which pre-date the Bible, [quote/] We know generally when most of the things in the Bible were WRITTEN DOWN. We don't know how long before the stories originate BEFORE being written down. For all we know every story you see as being written before the Bible were variations of the original stuff ultimately written in the Bible.
And? Can you prove that this was the norm for the culture in which David and Jonathon lived? So? How do you explain the stories in the Americas which are identical to the Bible that were written down BEFORE 1492? Quetzalcoatl's story is nearly identical to that of Christ, and the earliest accounts of it pre-date that of the period of time in which Jesus is supposed to have lived by some 600 years. (As are those of folks like Krishna and others.) Are you claiming that Jesus lived and died before those accounts were written?
If by support you mean "doesn't give a damn," then yes. This is unrelated to any drugs that Tererun may or may not be doing. I've never had sex. Divine reproduction is not sexual, and We have far more effective ways of experiencing intimacy with one another. Demigods are created sexually, but Jesus and Elvis weren't demigods. They were more like avatars. Considering that you are, in fact, a little girl trapped in a man-like body, one would think you'd be more understanding about such things. So sayeth the Lord.
Godawmighty, why do you put that verb in the past tense? Elvis is still hiding out on Mars, but He shall return some day.
But really you should not be touching little children. Get as mad at me as you like, but wearing a dress as a man as you put it is not even close to your child molestation that caused you to get tossed into how not to be a pedophile class.
You are thinking of Val Kilmer. He played Elvis in true romance and then was on mars in red planet. This is why the true Elvis is dead because Keanu Reeves killed him thinking he slept with trinity, but it was actually Val who slept with her. Everyone gets co fused when it comes to Val Kilmer and supposedly dead rock stars.
This is suspiciously proof that Godhood is boring. It's probably a good thing I gave up Mormonism for Lent -- while the prospect of becoming a God in the Afterlife does have some admitted appeal, giving up nookie really sounds like a bad trade off. Y'know what, I bet this is why you're so pissy throughout the Old Testament, @God Almighty: You haven't been laid for an eternity, and if this is the case, boy do I sympathize with you. Hell, even @Federal Farmer has gotten more action than you, and half of WordForge is convinced he's still in high school. Or! Even @Dayton3 has more sex than you, and apparently he doesn't even like physical affection! C'mon, God, you gonna let Dayton outscore you?
side-note from reading through this thread. Dayton has a trait I share - not liking physical contact, even shaking hands. The only reason I should be touching someone is for sex or fighting. Damn this just opened a can of worms for Dayton jokes, but bear with me - I'm just not a toucher! Nothing wrong with it, nothing personal, but it makes me very uncomfortable and nervous and awkward. Same with "small talk" for some reason. I'm just not a social person. I love working with people as a team on a shared mission or project, or in a teaching/learning situation, but when it's time to "let my hair down" I'd rather not be around for that. Okay I will fist bump or high-five but that's about as "huggy" as I get with anyone but my wife.
Agreed. One thing I hate about funerals. Everyone wants to hug the person who has suffered a loss. Like a few seconds of A-frame physical contact will help ameliorate the grief and sorrow you feel from losing someone you love. My mom hugged people she loved like friends and family though she didn't overdo it. My dad was fine with a handshake. Even with saying goodbye to his kids or grandkids who were visiting.
Only on the left would a weirdo dude posing as a woman, who wants to spy on little girls using the toilet, claim that a normal person is a pedophile. Stop thinking about raping children and get yourself the help you need. Please. I'm asking you and so is your family.
One of the nice things about being God is that I don't have to directly experience something to understand it. I know what having sex feels like, as well as other forms of reproduction, for every form of life in the universe. Human reproduction is pretty average. It feels pretty good, but isn't really anything special. If you become a god, you can have sex or not as you wish. My choices have no bearing on your own. Zeus is always getting it on with humans. No, please, don't ignore me! I enjoy the tedious, petty prayers of humanity ever so much. Whatever would I do without them? It's not like I have God business to attend to or anything. Also: TheLamestSquire berates others for not showing Me proper respect, and yet, openly declares that she thinks my posts are dumb. Why are my "followers" always such hypocrites? Well, someone isn't getting into Heaven now. I'm kidding. I'm not that petty. Squire wasn't getting in to begin with, and this changes nothing.
I wonder if @TheLonelySquire and all his remarkable training would even be able to identify a transexual individual..... Let's find out - tell us which numbers are transexual: 1) 2) 3) 4) 5) 6) 7) 8) 9)
