Watch Me Burn Posted March 18, 2006 Posted March 18, 2006 Can someone explain to me why it is okay for us to ignore every single law proposed in Leviticus except for those pertaining to homosexuality even though the Jesus never made a case for or against it? Sure Paul and Peter did later, but it was only in letters to the early churches, they weren't neccessarily speaking for God and possibly only out of their own prejudices. Here is a link to a better worded argument/essay than I can make myself: The Abominable Shellfish Civilized debate please, no flaming, we don't want to draw the attention of the sleeping Dragon.
Judge Hades Posted March 18, 2006 Posted March 18, 2006 The problem steems from the Roman and Greek culture which was more flexible in sexuality. The early Christians, in order to set themselves apart as a distinctive group, used the older scriptures and the letters of Peter and Paul to fuel their bigotry and what they saw as unnatural. Of course they did not have the knowledge we have today. Today we know that one his born with the predeposition of homosexuality due to a hormone imbalanced and brain development, while there are also environmental factors that faciliate or inhibit such behavior, such as cultural norms and the moral values one is instilled through childhood development. Those who use thousand of years old scripture to practice hate are lame brainwashed individuals who need to get with the times. We don't live in the middle ages any more so blind faith and zealot bigotry is no longer needed and, for most people, wanted
jaguars4ever Posted March 18, 2006 Posted March 18, 2006 What Hades said. Plus without homoeroticism we wouldn't have 80's synth pop! Or Richard Dean Anderson! Or The Hoff! Now that would be bad form, folks. Bad form indeed.
jaguars4ever Posted March 18, 2006 Posted March 18, 2006 No Richard Dean Anderson? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> "But you can call me MacGyver."
baby arm Posted March 18, 2006 Posted March 18, 2006 Just imagine what he could do with a rubber band, a quart of oil, 3 nickels, and YOU.
alanschu Posted March 18, 2006 Posted March 18, 2006 I never saw MacGyver in that way. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Repressed!
Lucius Posted March 18, 2006 Posted March 18, 2006 (edited) Neither did I... I just wanted to grap him by those goldie locks and fling him around. Oh and following millenia old scriptures, and only selected parts of it to boot, sucks major ass. Move out of the dark ages please. Edited March 18, 2006 by Lucius DENMARK! It appears that I have not yet found a sig to replace the one about me not being banned... interesting.
Musopticon? Posted March 18, 2006 Posted March 18, 2006 (edited) Lucius is right, for once. Call me a heathen, but I can't imagine God would agree with any of that bullshat if he really is the epitome of perfection. It can't be so that anything "out of the norm" goes to the Warm Place. Otherwise Hitler's in heaven for using the ultimate doctrine in uniformity: just kill everything that doesn't apply to John Doe's terms on what is normal.

Lucius Posted March 18, 2006 Posted March 18, 2006 Why thank you Mus. DENMARK! It appears that I have not yet found a sig to replace the one about me not being banned... interesting.

metadigital Posted March 18, 2006 Posted March 18, 2006 That's hardly proposing any solid argument. Or are you stating your support for natural selection, and Darwin? OBSCVRVM PER OBSCVRIVS ET IGNOTVM PER IGNOTIVS OPVS ARTIFICEM PROBAT
ShadowPaladin V1.0 Posted March 18, 2006 Posted March 18, 2006 Since it exists in nature it is a natural behaviour (still weirds me out though). It's only society that changes whether or not it's accepted. I have to agree with Volourn. Bioware is pretty much dead now. Deals like this kills development studios. 478327[/snapback]
WITHTEETH Posted March 18, 2006 Posted March 18, 2006 (edited) I was against gay marriage till i heard it wasn't mandetory. If you don't lile gay marriage dont have one, its as simple as that. These bigots who try to impose there ideology on gays, who keeps gays from having their rights, these bigots just cause more unnecessary suffering and its for their own stupid rightous cause. Why cause more suffering if its not needed, if they accepted the gay community then the world would be less hateful and more tranquil. Not to mention their weddings would be fabulous!

You do not see a white history month or white pride marches (Except the KKK and neo nazis).

Blacks want to be treated equally then they impose a whole month to black history on us... I like history more then the next guy but this is a little much. I'm going to have to agree with Morgan Freeman and say black history month is an axample of radical black people abusing their powers. To be fair, we need a asian month, hispanic month, and all other minorities. WE don't have enough months sadly. Edited March 18, 2006 by WITHTEETH Always outnumbered, never out gunned!

zer"0" Posted March 18, 2006 Posted March 18, 2006 Whyis it that white pride/power automatically = KKK, nazi?
