  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

How he speaks to you doesn't change the fact that a contract that is discriminatory on the basis of gender, race, or religion is illegal
Again, wishful thinking, but untrue. Gender discrimination is only illegal in certain very particular circumstances in the States. You can bar women from joining social clubs, from the draft, from the men's bathroom, from walking around topless even if they have no appreciable breast mass when men are allowed to waggle immense moobs in public, from hetero marriage at different ages than those allowed for men, from using the men's tee in a golf tournament, etc., etc.

This is a red herring. In adminstrating private contracts, the government cannot so discriminate.

I agree that it should be unconstitutional, but it isn't. There's nothing in the constitution that prohibits gender-based discrimination; the ERA never passed. We still have separate bathrooms, bans on same-sex marriage, social security-based draft requirements based solely on the presence of a penis, and people in the military who try to keep women from being fighter pilots.
Perhaps I should've been more specific. In this instance the equal protection clause of the 14th amendment covers it.

First of all, not all homosexual sex is anal.
That is beside the point.

Second, if the anus is purely for defecation, just why did God make it so susceptible to sexual stimulation?
Beats me. I supported the statement that anal sex can be harmful. I made no mention of whether it's right or not. Y'all ought to pay attention to what you're replying to.

So can piercing one's ears, getting tattoos, drinking alcohol, and going o war. The Bible has no problem with these, so I don't think "anal sex MAY result in an infection, therefore all homosexual sex is bad" follows. Not least because heterosexuals can have anal sex too.
