If Jesus were alive today, he'd be forgiving all of us for infuencing fanatics like Allen.
*reaches to the sky* Jesus! Hey, Jesus. Save me from these crazy Christians. You know they're mad. Just because you got nailed to a cross, don't take it out on us. Can't you send them down to the bottom of the ocean with all their damn sins? Go on, we'll pretend to like you. Amen.

Anybody hear that rolling sound? It is the sound of the quality of this site rapidly going downhill.

Right, Allen. I've found in the Bible where it says exactly what Sodom did wrong:
Ezekiel 16:49-50a Now this was the sin of your sister Sodom: She and her daughters were arrogant, overfed and unconcerned; they did not help the poor and needy. They were haughty and did detestable things before me. The only way you're going to get homosexuality into that is to read your own prejudice and bigotry into it. You have a choice - believe what is actually in the Bible, or make up what suits your personal distate and sense of moral outrage. Interesting, that - God's concerned about how we treat other people, not what we get up to between consenting adults. You wouldn't think it, given many of His followers, would you?

Actually I think I read something in the NT today that seems to condemn homosexuality -- if whether or not the Bible is opposed to the practice is currently an issue here, I can look it up.

quote: Actually, since I'm still kicking around here, atheists didn't invent the X instead of "christ" in a word. It probably is descended from the X-like Greek letter chi, which was used as an abbreviation of Christ. Now atheists just use it because they think they think it's still clever (after over a thousand years later) and because misinformed Christians find it offensive.

quote: Hey Schrafinator, are you still clinging to the position that "so-called" is only used in a derogatory sense, and never to introduce new vocabulary? Because I recently heard that "derogatory" term used in a documentary on plate tectonics for exactly that purpose -- introducing new vocabularly. Just like the 92-year-old president of the church was introducing the "new" meaning of "gays" and "lesbians". Just for fun I plugged "so-called" into britannica.com to see what results it would give. I got the following quotes and have emboldened the "derogatory" term: "Extracts from John Burnet's Early Greek Philosophy, provided as supplementary material for the Fourth Tetralogy, a study of the so-called middle dialogues of Plato. " "Information on this American novelist whose writing style and subject matter reflect the so-called punk sensibility that emerged in the 1970s. Covers her writings, texts of her work, reviews, and interviews. Includes images." There were a few uses in a derogatory sense as well, but I think this answers your question. All of these were from links to other sites on the Web, provided by Britannica's search engine. Then I plugged "so-called" into Merriam-Webster's online dictionary at Dictionary by Merriam-Webster: America's most-trusted online dictionary. There were two results, the derogatory (2) and the one our elderly president used (1): 1 : commonly named : popularly so termed 2 : falsely or improperly so named

quote: I seem to remember reading quite a lot of literature aimedat explaining breast and buttock attractions so there must be a fair amount of work put into that. My main question about this thread is really ... what are youactually asking/getting at? Most sexual researchers stress that in a very real sense weall exhibit 'homosexual' tendancies in the sense that we can respond sexually to any-gender ... our view of homosexuality must therefore being entirely cultural. Still ... what are you actually asking/saying etc. ?

She wants to establish that homosexuality is "natural", therefore it is "morally acceptable". Sort of like, if violence is in a person's genes, then it is "morally acceptable" for them to explode in violent episodes, and anything they do in those episodes (up to and including murder) is perfectly fine and morally acceptable, just because it is in their genetic makeup.
I'm still waiting on a response to her odd use of the term, "so-called".
