Met a number of people who claim that births come out of homosexual encounters, have you?

There's a few questions of mine you didn't answer in the "God is a Deadbeat Dad" thread as well. [This message has been edited by Dan Carroll, 08-19-2003]

quote: So... it doesn't matter if a Christian is a homosexual, or has an abortion, or uses birth control, etc, etc? As long as they love God and their neighbor? Cool. But wait... in the same post you tell Mammuthus that a Christian can't be a homosexual, because it's breaking God's rules. So I guess loving God and loving your neighbor isn't enough? Okay, then why don't you bury your poop a hundred yards outside of town?

Good guys. We used to go to four-dollar pitcher night at the Cove together. [This message has been edited by Dan Carroll, 08-20-2003]

Okay. So why are you condemning homosexuals when you don't travel 100 yards outside the city to poop? Remember, to live an excuse is no excuse.
If I'm not mistaken, he who is without sin is supposed to cast the first stone. And considering that the punishment for breaking the laws in Leviticus is death, you can't really say that the 100-yard mad dash to the bathroom is less important than homosexuality. You can't have it both ways. Either a strict adherence to God's commands is required, or it isn't. According to your own definitions on this forum, your pooping habits mean you are not a true Christian. [This message has been edited by Dan Carroll, 08-20-2003]

And you are not to poop inside city limits or you must be put to death. If you are not obeying God's laws, but you are still calling yourself a Christian, who are you to say that another person can't do likewise?
I'd like a direct answer, please. As for "nothing to do with marriage," it's largely Christian fundies keeping homosexuals from getting married. Can't blame them for your actions. Regardless... why does sex that has nothing to do with procreation or marriage qualify as a god? Again, I'd like direct answers to my questions.

I didn't know, no. Which sect?
I know the Episcopalian church has been tossing around the idea of gay marriage. Which would be hysterically funny, because it will prevent Congress from defining marriage as between man and woman. After all, Congress cannot make any law which will prevent free practice of religion...

quote: A couple years ago I was unemployed for a good six month stretch. To make ends meet, I spent a couple months as a homosexual. We all know that homosexuality, like prostitution, is borne out of economic necessity, after all.
quote: There's this gay drill sargeant on my street. Every time I pass his office, he yells out, "TEN HUT! You look like the kind of man we could use in this-man-on-that-man's army, son! We'll pay for college if you do it with another guy!" Because as we all know, homosexuals have an active recruitment drive, and will not rest until the whole world is gay. They'd be a lot more efficient if they involved the Freemasons, though.
quote: Wow. You don't believe we should feel lust for women, or that love is a good reason for marriage? Man, I'd hate to be your wife...

quote: Well, yeah then. Screw the bible as metaphor, you don't even like similies.
quote: Actually, as a good literalist, you believe that they were tempted by the serpent. Unless I'm mistaken, Satan isn't mentioned by name even once in Genesis.

quote: Done and done. And yes, in Revelations, there is a serpent called the devil. What does Revelations have to do with Genesis? In literal terms, now... which word is used in Genesis? Serpent or Satan?
quote: Considering that what I'm doing is referencing the text without interpretation, (you know... reading the word "serpent" as "serpent") I don't think you're doing much listening to either me or the bible.

quote: Assume I'm an idiot. Explain to me in very simple terms, so I can understand. How can one have a literal reading of the bible which reads the word "serpent" as the word "satan?" While we're at it, why would God punish Satan by making him crawl on his belly and eat dirt? Sounds a little... I dunno, playground bully-ish to me.

Try this one on for size. My girlfriend had a friend in high school who was a lesbian. When this girl was 10 years old, her parents (devout Christians) found her playing "wedding" with another girl. They sent the other girl home and beat the holy living crap out of their daughter. This was not an isolated incident; any time this girl showed an interest in other girls she got beaten within an inch of her life.
I guess peer pressure was stronger though, because she still wound up a lesbian.
