A post sure to be unfavorable with donkeys . . .
... in the God who supposedly wrote the Book that tells them to stone to death men who lie with men.
Those ain't my morals. I think that Book also has the same punishment for lying with an ass. Reminds me, I haven't had a good ass in weeks. *HEE HAW!*
If you imply that all of us non-believers are scoundrels, I will be offended. I may indeed be a scoundrel, sir, but it's by my choice under my terms and not enforced upon me by my agnosticism.
And if I may offer my own "tend" opinion -- it seems to me that the most ardent believers tend to only see things in black and white. If it's not right, it's wrong. Shades of gray are just scoundrels trying to get away with something.
Yep. How can the world be different than what they taught me in Sunday school?

Quote:Perhaps that is what the God fearing folk are so upset about. The homosexuals in society are developing morals and ethics for things that outsiders see as an immoral act. Thinking about it, I can see how that might lead to some conflicting feelings.

Quote:If somebody's opinions tell them homosexuality = immoral then they would have a very hard time connecting any sort of moral or ethical boundry with what they believe is wrong. How could anything wrong have small bits of good scattered through it?

Quote:Meh, I am probably talking out of my ass.Well, that's okay -- as long as you're not lying with it. *HEE HAW*
