I'm not touching it. Waste of time and energy in every respect.

Too easy...you first have to imply that your wee using your powers over you Ka and that in accessing your primordial memories, you found that Ishtar was your true Birth Mother and your destiny was to amongst the *Star Beings* who then showed you that Rama-Jove is your true God and that Yaweh is nothing more then your arch Nemesis.

Yes, perhaps it's a waste of time, but it amuses me, so I see no issue with it. :twisted:

Okay, first I'll admit up front that I've not read the posts in this thread. However, it seems as though RaptureReady (or some members thereof) is involved in the debate, & I believe I can safely predict that some of them will point out that homosexuality (the act thereof) is immoral, based on the OT & NT of the Bible. From the Christian perspective, I believe that is correct. That being said, we should recognize that the US is not a Christian theocracy, & in my opinion true Christians are a minority. Thus, the law of the land is what applies to US citizens who do not swear their allegience to Christ. Thus, in the eyes of non-Christian US citizens, there can be nothing wrong with the act of homosexuality, & we as Christians should not try to impose our laws & beliefs on those outside the Faith.

:P Ah Chasing Amy....all I need now is for one of my friends to be secretly gay and in love with me(though I believe that one may come true all too soon) and him to also ask a Black man what's a nubian.

Well of the three we did have...two were might have well been tracers :wink:

The one I dated...well she could draw very well...It would've been too much to throw Ariel overboard and hire her full time...

yeah, same here. I told these people for two hours the same thing, and they said I was consigned to hell becuase I didnt have faith, and that I had pharohs hardened heart.

they didnt seem to notice that that was kinda my point - god hardening hearts.

and, frank, it seemed like a good idea at the time.

"alright, maybe they can."

they made 6 exceptions to natural law to their theory of the flood would work! :shock:

Actually, there's a passage in the Bible about that.. forget where.. but it's about if you hear of it and don't accept it, your heart becomes hardened.. or something to that effect.

But asides from that.. homosexuality.. the great debate. Just got out of our homosexuality circuit in behvaior. Interesting stuff. We went over it from a scientific genetic basis for the most part and hit a few of the major studies. What it comes down to is this.. inconclusive at the best.

From a behavioral point of view, those that say homosexuality does not exist in the wild is only true to a certain extent. Homosexuality does and can exist, but usually only in a transient state. What we don't see if life-long committment to homosexuality or homosexual partnering in the wild.
