Honestly, and no offense but given your posts I can tell that what works for you would never work for me. Why would I want to ever speak as you do? or see another human being as you do? No thanks.You're depressed now, think about how depressing a CHRISTLESS eternity will be....
Actually, I have looked in the past when I wanted to see what I thought about homosexuality. I have since concluded that it has a strong biological basis (though possibly not genetic) and is no more harmful than heterosexual acts (especially since many things that hetero couples do are performed by homo couples).No you wouldn't, or you would check out the facts from unbias sources yourself and not wait to pounce on what others have to say that you simply choose to disagree with.
You'd rather be told everything will be alright and whatever you wish to think or believe is okay. Sorry, that maybe how society has evolved into a bunch of over weight, lazy, good-for-nothings. That doesn't mean that I will not continue to say exactly what I feel that you need to hear for your own sake. I'm not interested in fair weather friends. PS> Eternity is all about CHRIST and not about you.Honestly, and no offense but given your posts I can tell that what works for you would never work for me.

If that's what Christs brings to your life, you can keep it. Who would want that for an eternity?
Just because "everyone" says they do everything, doesn't make it so. I see no one in the bedroom taking notes.Actually, I have looked in the past when I wanted to see what I thought about homosexuality.

in that they are drawn together by eye attraction, sexual performance and through the total sensual "experience".
Are you:
1) Speaking as a homosexual with experience in many relationships;
2) Referencing some psychological research (citation required); or
3) Making this up?

They cannot conceive with each other (good father/mother material is out of the question). They are not liooking for spiritual fellowship.

They seek only sexual fulfillment of a hunger that they themselves encourage.
I can't believe I'm: 1. De-lurking, and 2. attempting to put together these quotes in a first post...all because I'd love to hear the answer to those questions. Did I miss a reply in my newbieism?Are you:

GOD is not fictional, especially if we are the only species that can reason the difference between good and evil (abstract moral reasoning)
Key word "establish" nothing there about promoting or endorsing.
The so called separation of church and state is not in the constitution. The government, after the ratification of the constitution used government money to promote and teach Christianity. They used land (Northwest Ordinance 1789)to that end.
The govenment printed bibles for schools and used government buildings to hold sunday sevices.
What our writers of the constitution ment was it was not a law that you MUST be a Christian.
This country was not founded on religion but it has a strong Christian heritage.
All branches of the military have chaplins so are they unconstitutional.
The supreme court has the likeness of moses holding the ten commandments so I guess the supreme court is unconstitutional, how ironic.
My son's elementary school still says "God" the the pledge. Call the ACLU!!!
As late as 1982 there has been national days of prayer given by the president.
Well, you believe that the Bible is an old work of simple men, living in what is today the Near East. Now if that is true, then they would have no way of knowing that they were right when they made up that man was created above all other animals in the image of GOD. Scientists should have found that they were mistaken, and that there were/are other creatures that reason and think in the abstract, just like a god might. HOWEVER, the reality is that there in not another creature on earth equal with man, and so oddly, there is no explanation how some silly, dumb, backward, ignorant, clod hoppers, living thousands of years ago could have agreed with your assessment; that man is indeed the only species able to think and reason in the abstract ---- like a god should.....How does this follow? Explain.

Spiritually fed Christian ethic effectively ended organized overt slavery in both England and the United States. One popular tune for the Women's Sufferage Movement was "Onward Christian Soldiers." The Women's Sufferage Movement and the Temperance League were historically linked to the Revival Movement of the second half of the 19th century.
*sotto voce* and if we watch carefully, we can see littlenipper preparing to use an apologetic for slavery... probably something along the lines of "Biblical slaves weren't REALLY slaves..."You fail to mention this "Spiritually fed Christian ethic" was also the opposition to both abolition and women's suffrage.
I don't see how the Temperance movement is in any way morally commendable.
Try again.

One would rather to be the slave of a Hebrew than a Roman anyday. If a Hebrew mistreated a slave, the slave was released.*sotto voce* and if we watch carefully, we can see littlenipper preparing to use an apologetic for slavery... probably something along the lines of "Biblical slaves weren't REALLY slaves..."
