Greed, Gluttony, Sloth, Pride, Envy, Wrath, and (heterosexual) Lust Exactly as Ollie stated.

That was sort of Ollie's point. The argument that drich made is not logically connected to the issue he is trying to apply it to. Drich is the one who claimed the reason your side focuses on homosexuality over other sins is because homosexuals "glorify" their sins, and no one else does. That...

These arguments are part of the reason that I feel "hate crime" is a bad terminology for the separate and harsher distinction from "ordinary" crimes. In my state (NJ) there is a designation of "terroristic threat" which is older than the concept of "hate crime" but similar -- although it is...

Well then, using the same logic that you and Renton use against us in these discussions, you are in favor of the spread of neonatal AIDS, I guess.*:| *No, I don't really think that you really are in favor of children being born with AIDS, any more than you are anything but a smart-alec when...

progressivegal -- That cuppa for Uber really looks good. I know I'd really appreciate it if I were feeling sick and sore. UberLutheran You just rest up and get better. But don't get too far from your laptop. We'd miss ya!

I'm confused about this whole thread. Convicted prisoners have always been able to marry. Long before even inter-racial marriage was recognized. In fact, that recognition was one of the precedents cited in the Loving v Virginia decision that marriage is an absolute right. And conjugal visits...

I repped her for you :)

Welcome to CF, Zep. This is a very good, well thought out post. Unfortunately there are a couple of things in it that will draw down the "righteous anger" of few of the regular posters here. It is like waving a red flag in front of a bull. I happen to believe most of the same things as about...

OK I'll bite. Why do you find the word Gay offensive? (I can only imagine that it has to do with whatever mistaken story you think is the origin of the term.)

I repped him for you.

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to TheManeki again. :(

And what would this prove, exactly? I don't see any connection. I have never had sex, and at my age I don't expect to start. Does that make me a better "heterosexual"? Does it make me a better "homosexual"? Or does it just mean that my hormone levels are low?

Maybe because they are off-topic? We are discussing homosexuality, not promiscuity. Mercy Burst-- You should know this. It is your thread, after all.

The point is the covenant is the marriage. I am not going to get into the whole "Were they or weren't they?" debate, but it is a biblically documented fact that Jonathan and David sealed their relationship, however they defined it, not once, but twice, in a covenant.

Wow! A lot of posts in one day. I have a lot of catching up to do. OK Let me get your belief system straight. A Christian (a brother or sister in Christ) is not someone who believes in the promise of salvation in Christ, (or at least he is not a Christian yet at that point). A Christian is...
