Re: You don't HAVE to do 'it' on the honeymoon

I just think that marriage is for the weak. I plan to abstain from women my whole life.

What are you, gay? Well then, enjoy hell.

Leviticus 20:13 If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.

I'm not saying that people shouldnt have children. I just think that marriage is for the weak. I plan to abstain from women my whole life. And the only good activity is procreational sex in the missionary position.

Not necesarily - it depends on the question and whether I wish to respond.

Exercise reduces the risk of osteoporosis. I also eat a lot of leafy green vegetables, which are high in calcium, so my bones are just fine.
My joints are still supple - could have something to do with the fact that I am active. I also play piano and guitar, which helps keep my hands strong.
Exercise also keeps my heart healthy, so no big angina risk.
Type 1 diabetes tends to run in families, and it doesn't run in mine. Type 2 is usually caused by obesity, and I am not overweight.
Gout has been linked to a diet high in animal protein, and I only eat meat a few times a week.
My grandmother had Alzheimer's but she didn't develop it until her 80's, and that's s good ways off for me yet. Korsakov's is often the result of alcoholism and malnutrition, and I do not have either of those conditions.

From your posts here it would be easy to conclude that you make those leafy green vegies into cookies.

I pity your wretched state and unhappy life... You failed to produce even ONE soldier for Christ. There's no way to compensate for that failing is there?

Re: You don't HAVE to do 'it' on the honeymoon

Both pretty healthy? More deceit.

You have already said you are post menopausal so risk of osteoporosis is high, not to mention arthritis, angina, diabetes, gout and obviously alzheimers and korsakoffs.

Re: You don't HAVE to do 'it' on the honeymoon

Okay, I am seriously sleep deprived at the moment, so I'll just sketch you a thumbnail and leave the footnotes and bibliography for later.

Paul is praising the Lord all over the New Testament.

Paul was not just some old busy-body trying to tell people what to do with their peeps and wigwams-- he was trying to establish a social order based on a new faith that had brought together, sometimes, not happily, people from different sects of Judaism and gentiles of all sorts of cultural and religious persuasion.

What Paul accomplished in his life time of a collation of Christianity was similar in scope and lasting impact to what Alexander the Great did hundreds of years earlier when he spread Hellenic ideals into the East and opened Western eyes to ideas from the East.

Alexander did it with a title and an army. Paul did it with faith, tent-making skills and scrupulous compilation of the Jewish faith with the revelations of the new Christian one.

Paul changed the world. He worked very hard and was not a party animal. But he wasn't any more of a party pooper than Moses, who was always breaking up worship festivals for false idols and the like.

Moses was leading his people to a geographical promised land where they would carry out the spirtiual and practical worship of their God.

Paul was leading a larger group of disparate people into a metophorical promised land of faith. The people he dealt with had both higher spiritual yearnings and everyday practical problems which sometimes seemed to conflict.

The Roman world and many of its practices crumbled and transmuted and sort of petered out. Christianity endured.

So, maybe we could cut Paul a break? Afterall, how many grassroots social revolutions have you spearheaded?

Re: You don't HAVE to do 'it' on the honeymoon

And if a women's existence is not be measured in her specific use -- or non-use -- of her sex organs, than how come you've determined that the Apostle Paul's life was lacking in some manner because he wasn't being constantly driven by the functions of his sex organs.

Paul was obsessed with the subject of sex. Look at how much of his writing is devoted to the subject.

A man, especially an Apostle's, testes and phallus are not his only reason for existence.

Agreed. One's genitalia shouldn't be the entire focus of one's attention. Paul just seemed to spend an awful lot of time trying to control what other people did with theirs.

Oh, and Paul was just as thankful for his state as you are over yours.

I doubt that, but I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree.

Re: You don't HAVE to do 'it' on the honeymoon

Paul was a frustrated, bitter old man, who couldn't get laid, and decided that everyone needed to be as miserable as he was. No thanks.

[Sound of serious throat clearing]

The Apostle Paul, also known as Saul of Tarsus,and the Apostle to the Gentiles, was chosen by Jesus in a beam of blinding light. Please note the specialness of that, Jesus didn't go through the trouble of blinding any of His other Apostles.

Paul was God's mouthpiece to the known world of the Romans. He penned- through direct revelation, close on to 40% of the New Testament with his own
cramped fingers. ( I don't KNOW about the cramped part, but I can assume.
I have a terrible time handwriting even a simple thank you note.)

The man shaped Christianity and changed the world-- he had more important things to do than "get laid". ( Any any True Christian woman of the first century would have been honored to have him.)

I wouldn't call menopause "past my use-by date." A woman's ovaries and uterus aren't her only only reason for existence.

Oh yeah? Just ask Sarah and Rachel. And if a women's existence is not be measured in her specific use -- or non-use -- of her sex organs, than how come you've determined that the Apostle Paul's life was lacking in some manner because he wasn't being constantly driven by the functions of his sex organs.

Re: You don't HAVE to do 'it' on the honeymoon

Of course not. There's also pie baking and caring for men -- activities that every woman cherishes.

I'm not all that fond of baking, and he's not crazy about sweets, so pie isn't usually on the menu at our house. Unless, of course, you're using "pie" as a euphemism for sex, in which case, it's on the "menu" as often as we both crave it.

As for taking care of men, he and I take care of each other, but the only time either of us gets waited on is if s/he's too sick to get out of bed. Since we're both pretty healthy, that doesn't happen too often.

Oh yes! Praise God for flour, real butter (not this chemical margarine toxic pretendabutter) and rain water!
