Someone can be attracted to men and women without having sex.

I mean, virgins can be attracted to people while remaining chaste. Same thing.

Did satan tell you that?

Re: Hello, I am a derp :B

So... you'll electronically state threats of physical violence when people question the morality or validity of your religion, instead of citing any valid counter argument (validity being based upon a lack circular logic), and your defense in doing so is based around a cartoon rabbit...

Point of order-- I have not threatened anyone, neither electronically or otherwise. I might choose to give you an intellectual thrashing--which is part of my point in bringing up Bugs Bunny, but you came here to disagree with us--my other point in bringing up Bugs Bunny.

I don't know who you are (or care actually,) or where you are, but I did not zing some electronic communication into your house telling you that you are wrong about the Bible (you are, by the way) and threatening you with any form of sanction or punishment for being wrong. You came here to tell us that we are wrong.

The Bible spells out how, when, and to whom punishment will be meted-- as well as by Whom.

God calls the shots. The Bible makes that clear over and over and over and over and over and over (man, this is getting exhausting) again.

I didn't write the Bible and I am not hiding behind it. If it is standing out there in front of me it is because I am not so impertinent as to declare myself a font of wisdom as to the truth of the universe.

I am letting the Bible speak for itself. Get it?

Unlike you, I am not preaching the Gospel of Handmaiden. I don't go around proclaiming lots of feel good rhetoric in the hopes that people will think that I am adorable ( I am, but that is entirely besides the point) or smart.

I and my thought processes are not even germaine to the issue here.

Brilliant. I wish I had thought of that one, maybe I can justify uttering threats in public by saying Yosemite Sam gets away with it. Threaten to blow up a mosque because Wile E Coyote blows buildings up all the time with no repercussions.

Again, you keep claiming to be reading, you even throw in some words here or there that give the impression of having done so, but are you discerning anything?

Bugs Bunny is minding his own business. Just like we are on this forum. Furthermore, I can promise you that we are not blowing anybody up. If we were, we would be a lot more than mere internet tough guys wouldn't we be?

You come here hot and bothered about what we are writing and all we are writing is what the Bible actually teaches! Why are you so worked up with us? Do you have a problem with the Bible? Do you think that your God, who revealed Himself through the Bible, would allow Himself to be misrepresented in His own book?

Bear in mind I am of the same religion as you... Just not a supporter of the same team per say. My beliefs are held as being valid by the pope, and I have read your version of our shared religious text.

Oh no, you are NOT the same religion as me. You don't have the guts to be the same religion as me. Call me a meany for attacking you, but I am pretty sure my simple little statements aren't actually drawing blood.

And your current pope bases his authority on a historic line of similar leaders who have in the past, maintained a choir of castrated boys, tortured and killed people who were trying to distribute Bibles in local languages, and told women that it was a sin to come to church without a head covering and reversed that position within the memory of a lot of living Catholics.

One Sunday, it's a sin; the next Sunday it's not.

Notice that I didn't mention the whole pedophile thing? Ooops! I just did. And don't bother telling me that not all priests do that. I know that.

And honestly, I am less impressed by how many innocent priests that there are than I am concerned over how many guilty priests there are and how long this problem has been swept under the Vatican's expensive rugs and how little real outrage has been expressed by the Pope.

What I see coming from this forum is people trying to deny things that are considered "accepted flaws" of a religion. It's easy to say that your reference guide was written very long ago by people so ignorant they likely couldn't verify any of their information (earth not being flat, earth not being center of universe, peoples ages being 500 or so years, and the earth being 3000-4000 years old) and follow up by saying that at least the morals are in the right place and god didn't want to share with them all the information on the world at that time.

Again you lack any discernment at all! That bit about "it's easy to say" is wrong because we do not say it!

Nowhere do we here at LBC say that the people who wrote the the "reference guide" to which we refer were ignorant. We explain that the "reference guide" itself was written by God -- the perfect, all-knowing God that you claim to worship-- and therefore cannot be imperfect.

And we sure as shootin' NEVER said, throw out the cosmological stuff and just stick to its offerings on moral guidance.

That is exactly what we preach against!

And maybe I am losing track here, but with your "acceptance of flaws" in religion, isn't that exactly what you are trying to say?

Throw out or dismiss what doesn't work in this day and age, and follow what seems appropriate, now.

The problem is that God, as defined in the Bible, is unchanging (unlike the popes) and what He says was right and good before Him two millennia ago is still right and good before Him today-- and what is abomination before Him before remains sinful today.

Instead you go the other route defending things such as the age of the earth, it's flatness, etc.

At least the terrorists make it apparent that their religion is crazy

We are doing you a favor in preparing you for a world in which devoted, determined Bible-believers are running things. When Sarah Palin gets elected in 2012, many of the Bible statues we talk about will become law.

And we make all the facts about the True Christian Religion apparent, even the parts that some milquetoast "Christians" think are crazy.

On the other hand you people are making me ashamed to be a supporter of Stan, because your extremist branch of Christianity is making the rest of us look bad... Go read a Nat.Geo or something science proves a lot more than a book written by ignorant Israelis can.

Christianity is extreme. It demands that people pray without ceasing, mutilate body parts rather than offend God with said body parts and separate themselves from anyone teaching false doctrine.

(and yes, yes you are hiding behind the bible, its called "circular logic", look it up)

And, no, I am not hiding behind the Bible. I am hiding behind a username/internet forum.

People like you scare me. You cannot see the extreme illogic of claiming to worship a deity-- the knowledge of whom was given to humankind through a book which clearly asserts itself to be the revealed truth of that deity-- and then you turn around and decide that the book which gave you the truth of your God, cannot be counted on to tell you the truth about your God.

That, my friend, is circular logic.

Re: Hello, I am a derp :B

there are better things in this world than running across the internet hating people because we share slightly different beliefs.

@The princeamongmen: I assume that you are referring to yourself? You came here, I didn't hunt you down.

I know just what this is called.

cult


1. a particular system of religious worship, esp. with reference to its rites and ceremonies.

2. an instance of great veneration of a person, ideal, or thing, esp. as manifested by a body of admirers: the physical fitness cult.

3. the object of such devotion.

4. a group or sect bound together by veneration of the same thing, person, ideal, etc.

5. Sociology . a group having a sacred ideology and a set of rites centering around their sacred symbols.

6. a religion or sect considered to be false, unorthodox, or extremist, with members often living outside of conventional society under the direction of a charismatic leader.

7. the members of such a religion or sect.

Read rule six: The one true religion, Christianity, cannot, by definition, be a cult.

i was encouraged to think differently than sticking to words written in a book.

How did that work for you? Did you ever manage to pass third grade? Was it one of those Montessori schools?

Re: Hello, I am a derp :B

All Christians are hereterosexural, even the ex-queers. Jesus makes us all normal and sin-free by washing us with His blood.

1 John 1:7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.

[DerpHurr]

Re: Hello, I am a derp :B

It is not my place to insist that you believe one thing or another. I do insist that visitors here acknowledge that the focus of our discussion be on what the Bible actually says-- not on what they think it says or what they want it to say. The forum here was created to discuss the whole truth of the Bible.



I find myself doubting that. Again, many in your generation think that they have actually read something when in fact they scanned it in an effort to pass a test.



You see, that right there is why I think you flipped a few pages, scanned some vaguely familiar stuff and congratulated yourself on having read the Bible.

If really had read it as closely as we here at LBC have, you would have stronger opinions about it.



Hey, I am just waiting on the day someone in your age group says or does something that is not superficial. It would make me feel marginally more comfortable growing old in a world where your lot will be running things.



Well, I have noticed that every Asian person that I've ever seen looks Asian. And my admittedly limited experience with African Americans has indicated that the young people are every bit as superficial and spoiled as their paler counterparts.

A 19 year old former co-worker of mine who was earning over thirty thousand dollars straight out of high school and living at home was complaining about the burden of his car payments.

And he was convinced that every single customer that he waited on was unreasonable and difficult. Never occurred to him that work is sometimes hard and that our employers had a right to expect us to put down our phones and stop texting while talking to our customers.



Now, this is where it gets interesting. Because you came here and started throwing around statements about sex with this person or that regardless of gender and now you are saying that you aren't having sex at all.

Honestly, I think your intro and the info supplied therein was intended for shock value. Let me offer you a tip. If you had gone with the last statement in the quote above, and just announced, "I am a virgin" you would have gotten your shock value.

Just a little advice.


Encouragingly Yours,

Handmaiden

Just because you're pansexual or bisexual doesn't mean you go around having sex. That's an unfair assumption to make.

I have plenty of friends who are bisexual who are in fact virgins. Actually, most heterosexuals I know are actually more inclined to sleep around then the bisexuals, pansexuals, lesbians, and gays I know.

It would be stupid to say I am a virgin, because that would be a blatant lie. But I'm also going to add, that I've only ever had sex with one person, and the last time I checked, one person isn't equivalent to sleeping around with anything that moves ^^

A pervert is a pervert. God condemns you to everlasting torment in the pits of hell unless you sincerely repent.

Romans 1:26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
1:27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
1:28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;

Good on ya.

You should know that God, in His infinite mercy, condemns not only homers (those "without natural affection"), but also their supporters (those "that have pleasure in them") to hellfire. You too, are "worthy of death." Romans 1:31-32

Romans 1:31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: 1:32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.

Um....

I think you just made my morning. Thanks for giving me a good laugh, kudos.

I am in no way a pervert, I'm simply me. Would you say that I'm more perverted then an old HETEROSEXUAL man who tries to get his way with little girls?

Y'know, drags them into dark alleyways, tries to rape them?

Those ones?

I would definately say that someone like that is more perverted then someone who is attracted to the same sex rather like you people are attracted to the opposite.

Okay, now that we have settled that matter of major galactic importance, could we discuss more mundane matters, like the battle for the hearts of minds of future generations?

What do you say you go and read the Bible-- not just the Jesus-is-so -dreamy parts, but the whoa-cowboy -is -that-really-in-there? parts--and get back with us on your informed opinions.

I am very eager to hear what you might have to say.

There is no sense in comparing perverts. That's like trying to decide which prisoner committed a worse crime; there's no point, they're both in jail.

Ah, but you see, in my country, we don't go to prison for being homosexual, bisexual, or pansexual. Or even omnisexual, despite that sexuality often being frowned upon.

The pervert who thinks it's a good idea to rape a five year old girl is the one going to prison.

Explain to me, my good sir, how I am a pervert.

It matters to the criminal Brother Nobar. They can rationalize their crime (be it a crime against man or nature) and they can ''feel better'' about themselves.
