    Should Christians evangelize gays?

    That raises a good point about NT writers and what they found antithetical for believers to engage in. Do you think that slaves should submit to their masters, even if their masters are harsh and difficult to please? For example, suppose a Muslim has a thirteen-year-old female slave that he...

    Won't somebody please think of the lesbians?! and other thoughts.

    I am 100% intolerant of Islam. You should de-convert immediately and choose another religion, ANY other religion, because all of them are better than yours. You have nowhere to go but up by choosing a different religion. Islam is a religion for losers! Islam delenda est.

    Gunman kills 6 at U.S. college

    If your prayers had more of an effect than easing your own troubled mind, then they would be laudable. I don't know why we need to continue "gun control" arguments anymore. Of course people should be free to defend themselves from predators, and predators react predictably to the risk that...

    Does the Bible Define Marriage as Man + Woman Only?

    I'm not ignoring the creation account. The creation account does NOT call bigamy a sin. Therefore, it's valid in the eyes of your god. So what? Polygamy is NOT a sin. Where did Jesus say, "It is a sin to have more than one wife at a time"? Where did he say, "Polygamy is a sin"...

    Funny that you accuse me of "poor me syndrome". Was it you or I who complained to the admins? (Perhaps it sounded like this: "Waaahhh! Make him stop!") That said, did you actually answer my questions, or did you whine to the admins and have my reasonable questions removed? Perhaps your...

    Does the Bible Define Marriage as Man + Woman Only?

    You're absolutely correct. Solomon's wives are called exactly that: wives. As are the wives of many of the patriarchs in the OT. If the multiple wives weren't truly married to their singular husband in the eyes of God, then why does the scripture, the word of God, call them "wives"...

    What is this "scriptural exegesis" nonsense? If you have scripture to support your view, post it! Otherwise, admit that that your views come from directly from Satan. If you do not hate your family, then you are not Jesus' disciple. Jesus said so.

    Does the Bible Define Marriage as Man + Woman Only?

    It's okay. I've read back in the thread and noticed that you're fifteen years old. Your attitudes and opinions will probably change a lot in the next few years. My questions for you are: what do you know about "the gay lifestyle", and how do you know it? No one takes the Bible...

    Does the Bible Define Marriage as Man + Woman Only?

    You have this "knowledge" only because you are ignorant, perhaps deliberately so. But do you choose to be ignorant? Let's find out. My partner and I have been together for ten years now and we have one adopted son. According to you, my ten-year relationship with my partner is based on...

    I totally disagree. If you're going to talk about what scripture is "clear" about, then let's start examining if you really are devoted to following scripture. My belief is that you adhere to scripture strongly when it bashes gays and then start "interpreting" it once it would negatively...

    Are complaints to admins all that gay-bashing Christians have to offer in response to reasonable questions?

    "Misrepresentation of scripture" == "You're not SPINNING scripture in the politically-correct way" You're totally wrong. Take two Christians. One is married, the other is not. The married Christian has, on average, 18 waking hours. He has to cut God out of the picture sometimes to...

    "An unmarried man is concerned about the Lord's affairs—how he can please the Lord. But a married man is concerned about the affairs of this world—how he can please his wife— and his interests are divided. An unmarried woman or virgin is concerned about the Lord's affairs: Her aim is to be...

    "Progressives" always want to take my money to solve "society's" problems. Are you the rare exception who would only do it with your own money or money that was voluntarily donated to you?

    Is circumcision on unconsenting children a form of child abuse?

    There is no good reason to routinely cut the genitals of any child. There is no provable health benefit, no provable hygiene benefit, no provable aesthetics benefit. As Penn & Teller showed, it's all about "b---s--- conformity" and they're exactly right. The foreskin does not perform a...

    Knock yourself out, but leave me out of it. And don't try to "solve" those "problems" with my tax dollars, either.

    Do you really want to know, or are you just being patronizing? I honestly think it would be refreshing if a Christian was actually curious about what being gay was like instead of the callous dismissal as if it were just another "hitting rock bottom" kind of thing. We've heard it before...

    We don't need your help. We've had enough "Christian love", thank you. It's worse to say to people that there's something wrong with them when there isn't. You are helping to create the problem that people from which people want to be freed. It's your fault, not theirs! Paul also says...

    Mumei, I'm really disappointed in you. Being brave enough to admit that you were recruited is one thing. Being too ashamed to admit how it really happened is quite another. As they say, the best lies contain a grain of truth, right? Here's how it really happened, because I'm a really...
