huggybone..so if god and jesus were ripping on homosexuality and fornicators in the same sentence, am I to assume he detests those acts equally? any unmarried couple having sex is just as disgusting in god's eyes as are homosexuals?
if any poster has unmarried sex, seems to me a bit hypocritical to go after the gay community with the religious angle....
Are you gay?
ok, huggybone, not to let this topic get too far off mark, but "bingo" was not the proper term here....I said god "detested" both groups, and I do not believe that for a second....
in the strict sense, I would guess god dislikes certain actions that he perceives as seperating us from knowing him better, but if we believe that we are created in his image, I would also have to assume for him to detest a part of himself is a bit of a quandry. i prefer to believe that god loves everyone equally, without reservation, otherwise the demerits would add up quickly in the book of life...there ain't a human being who lived who can pull off being "good enough" to find favor with god...
and then again, it doesn't matter squat what I think...a speck of dust in the matter of time...

You honestly don't think a lesbian gets turned on by another lesbian in the same manner? It's similarly difficult for you to believe a gay man gets hard with another gay man? What happens with the arousal is all in the details, but the arousal speaks for itself.spraydog wrote:Now wait a minute. That’s censorship Sandy.
Lets try this logic. What happens when a women is sexually aroused? The vagina lubricates itself. Your asshole does not get wet, your vagina does. When a man gets sexually aroused his penis gets hard. His asshole does not get wet, but his penis gets hard. Hard penis and wet vagina. Doesn’t take a degree to figure out that the two go together. Naturally. You don’t have to make any stretch of the imagination to come up with that conclusion.
And Huggy, not everyone thinks the new testament or old testament is something other than a book. Speaking as a devout deconstructionist, it's all fiction.
The problems in Africa are mostly caused by unsanitary medical practices. They will innoculate a whole village with the same needle. They (being the indigeneous medical staff) will try to autoclav or sanitize medical instruments and not be successful. It is estimated that 37% of all HIV infections in Africa are from I V Drug use and unsafe sex. Guess where the other 63% is from........unsanitary medical practices.canadaclimbergirl wrote:Why don't we ask the government of Senegal if 1/3 of their population is gay...must be considering that 1/3 of the population of that, and other African countries, is infected by HIV.
Really people...if there is anyone out there who still thinks this is a 'gay' thing...give your head a freeking shake.
Again...educate yourselves....the info is out there.
The problems in Africa are directly proportional to the amount of money spent on medical gear.
European businesses who have assets in Africa will send their people down there with a trauma kit that includes needles, sterilized medical equipment and almost everything that they could possible use if one of their employees is shot, in a car accident, needs a vacination or becomes sick in any way. It's because they know that the medical sanitation in Africa is almost non existent.
Damn piggy, I swear your reading my mind. What you are writing is exactly what would have been the second half of my post.
Charlie: No shit! you mean not everyone belives in the bible? surely you jest.
(Note the sarcasm)
Also note: even if it is fiction, its got heads on deconstructionism, which is Intellectual garbage. Deconstructionism is like rush limbo- it is primarily concerned with itself.

"Before enlightenment, chop wood, carry water. After enlightenment, chop wood, carry water."
Wha? You've obviously been primarily exposed to crap, sloppy, wanna-be, imitation Deconstruction. Are you familiar with Derrida's reading of Plato's Phaedrus? Sure, deconstruction is philosophy that is primarily concerned with philosophy, but if you can demonstrate that even the claims of truth of Plato/Socrates are built on a foundation of sand, that has just a wee bit of signifigance for all claims of truth, which extends to fields that have a little more import than "mere philosophy." (After all this whole thread was started by someone who thinks that he can make a claim of truth based on "natural law")Huggybone wrote:Also note: even if it is fiction, its got heads on deconstructionism, which is Intellectual garbage.

dirt, and your point....its a story....
got a question for you bible scholars..why is it when noah built the ark, christians want us to take the dimensions literally (as far as the numbers go), yet just 3-4 verses earlier, there is talk of methusaleh being 969 years old...does any one even think that number is literal...
