he's gonna say no... it's wrong for you to have sex with men... though it's still ~~ same



why deny who you are even if you "dont" sin?

cause god says so... it's an illogical impass...


Sin is not "who you are". Don't make sin sound like an identity, so that you can excuse it away; I know of that tactic. God deliberately made everyone different, so that "who you are" would be something unique and special. But sin is evil, and not part of that created uniqueness. It's nothing but baggage, or as John Bunyon wrote in his famous "Pilgrim's Progess", one of my most cherished books, sin is "this heavy burden". In his novel, sin was a literal giant sack this guy named "Christian" had to carry on his back through his entire life. England locked up John Bunyon simply for preaching -- just as the Apostle Paul was. The world has always tried to silence Christians, through as extreme means as were available to them at the time. Even the Catholic Church tried to silence them, through threats, torture, and painful executions.


you're missing the fine point that i dont consider homosexuality as a sin... but part of people's personality


By "missing", you must mean "directly addressing". (This is probably where we keep not communicating.)

I didn't miss your point; I responded that it is wrong, and I explained in detail why it is wrong.

Aww. You poor Christians. :(


Aw, you poor homosexuals. :(

I bet most gay people get more sh** for being gay than you've ever had for being a Christian.


Seriously doubt that.

Were you bullied in school for being Christian? Did you lose 'friends' for being Christian? Did your family not accept you for being Christian?

Then perhaps a world without war,
for example, would seem that way
as well.

What raggy says is that you can live your
life in whatever despicable matter you like,
as long as you subjugate yourself to his cruel
and vindictive God.

Otherwise, you'd have to hang out with those
of us who are honorable.

wow-I'll hang with you :P


only in platonic friendship... mind you


I was told that my kind didn't have sex,
anyhow.

Yes to all three, and I'll continue to lose people, opportunities, money, and possessions for living out my morality.

Well I've never seen this happen to any of the Christians I knew in school.
And even if that is the case, it's still different. Being gay is part of what you are. You can't change that. Whereas being a Christian is something you choose to believe. No one is born a Christian or biologically a Christian. Having your own parents not accept you for what you are is different to them not accepting your decisions or what you choose to believe.

Because being straight one can feel better when a woman does to you than a man, that's not a fact, it's a subjective view, because you are just seeing this in one single point of view, that of a straight man.


Indeed, I've rather heard the opposite.


take that seinfield show for example.... they stick with their team cause they have access to the equipment WAY more... so how can women compete in that arena :lol: :P


However, and spoken from my own limited
experience in such matters, knowing oneself
might actually hinder one's ability to fully
understand that someone with the same
toys might not like them used in the same
ways you do.

Caring trumps all else.

If that's true, it is not for being christian, it is for how YOU ARE as a person, in this regard, most people don't have problems with christian people as long as they don't try to shove their beliefs down other people's throats, because that is annoying actually.

Are you so sure it was your
mere morality, and not your
personality?

No, I find art in cats, birds, trees, flowers, even insects. Just proves my point even more.


these points are irrelivant unless you find animals sexually attractive

No, "art" doesn't always give me a boner. :? What does sexual attraction have to do with whether something is artistic?

silly silly silly

you were claiming that the feminine form was more aesthetic (based on artistic views) than the male form

cal was contending that it was due to your hormones

you countered by providing non-sexual examples.............


you have erred logically...............



my point with art... is i doubt you were thinking past your penis (agreeing with cal) and was just fishing to see whether you had actually given it any artistic consideration

you havent

You use the term "heaven" in the generic, because you believe in different heavens. Just wanted to clarify; they won't be in the Bible's Heaven.


i was referring to each own's heaven

no i did not mean to imply they would go to your heaven

yeah but by rag's logic... it's easer for them to get into heaven... cause they just have to deny a portion of their sexuality (like he does when he abstains from premarital sex ect)

completely gay people have to fabricate hormones and a whole new genetic makeup!


Doctors have been fabricating testostrone and estrogen for years. Sopho and I have formerly mused as to what this could mean for gay people.


um... did i ever say that those two hormones are directly responsible for sexual preference? they bring about secondary sexual characteristics... for sure

i mean.... how would you even have gay people in the first place if it were that simple?



i somehow doubt your logic for deducing fabrication in scientific literature on any level


Someday, science will find a way...


whatever the hell that means pfft.......

you dont know s**t about endocrinology so you cant say s**t about s**t


you know nothing of the scientific method

Because God made them to match with men, hello... It's obvious, if you just open your eyes.


so how does this support your conclusions that women are better at sucking cock?

yet another point on which you shift your views at the first sign of dissention
