    My views on homosexuality

    I really hope you are joking. By this argument, Tiger Woods or Arnold Schwarzenegger should not be found in the wrong because they should not be held to repressing their "natural" tendency towards infidelity. And you think people that try to repress behaviors that they deem negative should not...

    Does proselyzing hurt or harm people?

    I have seen many Krishna groups walk the streets singing religious songs and giving food out to whoever would except (as well as pamphlets explaining their religion). I would assume some would see this as proselytizing, as well? I do not find anything wrong with it (and at times it can be...

    Judgment Day May 21st 2011

    This sounds like a great idea! Maybe we can make it annual event or something...:D

    My views on homosexuality

    Of course this applies to heterosexuals, just as I said in the example from my first post. I have said quiet a bit concerning self-control in this thread already. Homosexuals would not be the first people to be required to practice control of their natural tendencies in order to be "right"...

    My views on homosexuality

    You may find it immoral, but it is acceptable if it is a tenant of their chosen belief. If the individual can't reconcile their activities within their belief, then there are consequences (as outlined by that belief). I am not talking about individual (or family unit) opinion, I am talking...

    My views on homosexuality

    So, what you are saying is, homosexuals are mindless gay zombies driven to satisfy their base urges with no control what so ever? They cannot choose to abstain because homosexuality strips any ability to choose? People abstain from all sorts of natural (and desirable) activities due to religious...

    My views on homosexuality

    I don't know and I am not sure anyone can give a good answer to that question (but, I do not believe too many people are going to say people are made gay because of original sin). God's complete design is beyond my ability to comprehend. And your understanding of what I have been saying is...

    My views on homosexuality

    Please show me where I said anything bigoted. If you cant, then you are perpetuating the exact behavior I am talking about. Exactly! They choose to not associate with a certain church and live their lives the way they want to. If they want to still be a part of that church, then they will...

    My views on homosexuality

    You guys are completely self-righteous! I NEVER said that being homosexual is not natural. I never said ANYTHING bigoted or hateful! But, in your self-righteous indignation, you immediately jump and attack anyone that does not 100% agree with whatever you spout. Whether you like it or not...

    My views on homosexuality

    Indeed, she is. But, you are right I curtail my sexual preference by choice. That is the point. We are responsible for our choices. Being homosexual (whether it be natural or not) does not give you a free pass, you still have to honor the tenants of whatever religion you want to believe in...

    My views on homosexuality

    So, the crux of your argument is that I am stupid? That is pretty astute logic. Did you learn that debate strategy on the playground? And so far you all you have pointed out is that homosexuality may be natural occurring (which I didn't disagreed with). But the act is completely in the...

    Judgment Day vs. the Rapture

    Yeah, they are different and some interesting interpretation to the whole rapture idea. But, why let that stop some people making an entire marketing empire from the possibility.

    Think the world will end?

    Rest in Peace, Macho Man...Rest in Peace. OOOOHHHHH, YEEEAAAHHHH!!!!!!!!

    Think the world will end?

    This is probably the most important question. I must have missed the memo concerning the time. I am really booked up around that time.... And why are there quotes around "going"? Do you think the world has already ended?

    My views on homosexuality

    But, no one is making anyone have homosexual sex (typically). I have heard that there are 100% heterosexual Catholic priests (no fault of their own...it is natural, right?) that make a choice never to have sex. And if there is a gay gene, then will they find a hetro gene as well? Or will...

    religion unites...yeah right...

    I think we may be coming to some common ground. People doing good because it feels good is still self-serving and that is what I mean when I say people rarely do acts that are totally selfless. Religion gives the individual something to focus on (other than themselves), but I agree that does...

    My views on homosexuality

    That is a bold statement. I would like to know how you identify "True Christians". That is a pretty specific label for what seems a broad community.

    A Question to Christians.

    If they chose that path, it would be out of my hands. Really, it happens all the time. You try to give 110% to an individual and they flat out reject your efforts; even if it is ultimately in their best interest.

    Do you really think you are helping anyone?

    ^^^^^^^ This.

    My views on homosexuality

    Please read the my entire post and not just the first paragraph.... The act is choice, whether or not the state is a choice or natural is beyond me.
