Another reason why religion is complete BS (Jehovah's Witness edition)

They could marry. They just have to marry somebody of the opposite sex like everybody else. If they don't like it, you could always leave the country and start your own country(with your own laws) in Africa or something.

Yes, thats the obvious, sensible solution for everyone. Instead of letting people make their own choices we should just ship all the gays off to Africa.

lol mingus diverting the conversation

[mingus]

according to scientific research, nothing good comes out of anal sex, and it's the main way that gay men express their love to each other.
It's not good for your rectum and prostate. Would you really want another dude penetrating your ass(it's where /caca comes out) and smear your prostate gland with ? Your gonna increase your chances of getting prostate cancer and all these diseases.

true. this is another thing i have a problem with it. anal sex is pretty ing bad for you in a variety of ways i won't get into. not only that but HIV is much more common in the gay community. my mom just diagnosed a bisexual man last week with HIV after she suspected he may've had it.

sexuality isn't healthy, yet this segment of the population decides that they will proceed with doing with despite the health hazards. i don't think there's a segment of the population that feels more self-righteously in support of their unhealthy lifestyle then these guys. smokers don't go around promoting their bad habits. they surely don't raise children with the idea that it's a good thing to do.

[Axe Murderer]

As I said, you can't make everyone happy. I believe sexuality is a form of deviant behavior. All of you have your own definition for what you consider to be deviant behavior, and I have mine. It just like bestiality, necrophilia, pedophilia, incest, etc. sexual necrophilia is especially bad.

Why do you all hate the troops? Even DOK would respect them enough to extend them that right.

i don't hate the gay troops. i've got more respect for them than i do our straight ones because i can't imagine how hard it'd be trying to accomplish a mission while thinking about what the person in front of you looks like naked. and i'm not even republican. i'm independent and even voted for Obama so don't throw me in with the idiots who booed the soldier in that debate.

You're way off base. A good percentage of the medal of honor winners were probably just trying to impress the guy behind them.

Not getting into this with you.

Smart move. No sense wasting your time on an Atheist.

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

I'm not bothered by it. I'm just stating that I have never heard of it in the animal kingdom.

There has been observed anal penetration among male bottle nose Dolphins. Sorry, but you're wrong.

The belligerent athiests in this forum are delusional, beyond reprehension...

All the "anti-religious sentiment" expressed by the athiests in this forum is a religion in and of itself... They worship knowledge and wealth above all else, with "reason and logic" as their banner... Natural laws define and explain absolutely everything in our universe and are the catch-all, end-all, be-all of everything..! If an opposing view point doesn't jive with their world view, they simply attribute such 'dogma' as the product of inferior, weaker minds... but be careful to point out said dismissiveness as acts of arrogance because they will turn right around and call you a hypocrite...

They go further by attempting to tell us how unlogical, and crazy our GOD is by throwing HIS word in our faces WHEN THEY DON'T even understand the scriptures, their historical context, the implications of GOD's covenants and most of all, HIS character... but that doesn't stop them from drawing completely erroneous conclusions about GOD's nature, because after all, as erudite, ''learned'' men, they understand EVERYTHING they read, and cannot possibly err against their own beliefs... I doubt very seriously that any of the forum's athiests have actually read the Bible from cover to cover... preferring instead to dissect it and nit pick at their convenience (or lazily look up a website that has already done this for them)... AND YET, here they are, constantly cursing GOD's name, mocking His very existence, hurling insults at believers, constantly justifying their disbelief by branding together in their spiteful rhetoric (I believe this is why they originate such threads almost every week... they need constant subconcious reassurance that their rejection of GOD is validated)... I guess some of them simply like 'getting a rise' out of their trolling...

Note: the emphasis above was for belligerent athiests...

Off of the top of my head if I had to rank the "beligerence" of athiests/agnostics I have had the opportunity of engaging 'here' over the course of the years... the list would probably look something like this:

The funny thing, despite what you all may think you all know about me, is that the guys (and gal) in the third segment of the list would probably be close friends of mine were we to be acquainted outside of this forum... Obviously, this is mere speculation, but they do mirror the type of people I have actually befriended over the years...

For example, my shared passion for soccer would be enough to befriend me with MannyIsGod, scott and ElNono... despite whatever differences they may percieve in our world / political views...

As for the assertion that Christians not be allowed to shape the laws of our land... What fascist doctrine would you all have to be upholding to deny that basic democratic right against the citizens of this nation...? Anyone can lobby to shape the government as they see fit... even the Ku Klux Klan has that right (even if we don't agree with their beliefs)... ultimately however, the prevalent view is the one that wins out. That's how democracy works... In the athiest world-view however, [based on the comments in this thread - or the countless other religion-bashing threads in this forum] opposing views should "shut up" and stay out of the way! That 'suppression of voice' is laughable to the point of absurdness... "Do as I say, not as I do!" That said, the deliberate pandering of "Christian" politicians (such as Palin, Bush etc...) is absolutely reprehensible...

Good post. They are believers but rejectors at the same time. All men have a natural subconscious belief in God but some choose to reject that belief.

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

There's nothing wrong with a general belief in god. The problem is not just believing in god, but also believing god is a phobic sociopath who thinks rape victims shouldn't be able to have abortions and supports slavery.

here we go...blood in the water

[rascal]

I read the bible cover to cover because I really did want to believe and wanted to be a model Christian. Had I never read it, I probably still would be one.

I don't believe this.

[mingus]

i think the government needs to pass legislation whereby all sexuals have to have a tramp stamp that says warning: anal sex causes _______ and also have a picture of what an enlarged prostate and bacterialy infected penis looks like.

[rascal]

It's not that I think it hurts me in any way. Calling something marriage has nothing to do with whether it hurts me or not. It's just a belief that union between man and women is what makes a marriage.

Why do you care if two people from the same sex want to call living together a marriage, so they get the same rights that married people get. It doesn't bother me what they want to call their union or if they get the same rights as married people.

Sense of the numinous is an old myth, debunked long ago by people far more capable than either of us.

So you don't have a real position here. You have sold your lot on this for a pocket full of trolling tokens.

[mingus]

just pointing out the inconsistencies of our society, that is all.

[DMC]

The inconsistency here is you though.

If you want to make a point, you should be able to do so without going to absurdity in your comparisons. The fact that you do is evidence that you don't really have a point to make.

[baseline bum]

I don't believe this.

I don't give a .

[Blake]

Give? They either have that right or they do not. The question would be whether to fight so they can exercise those rights or ignore that they are being denied them.

None of us are in a position to give rights.

No one has the right to tell another adult who they can and cannot make marriage vows with. Honoring those vows is a state thing, but it should not be.

No, gays do not have equal marriage rights. Yes, it would be rather easy to give them those rights.

I have no idea what you are getting at in the rest of that jibberish.
