Hey Girlfriend,

Shirley, can you hook me up with some of those communion wafers? They go great with Easy Cheese and Grape soda. Mmmm….Yum!

Yes, I have returned.

Hey Shirley, Since Haiti had an earthquake for their pact with the devil, does Chile also have a pact with the devil after their earthquake the other day? Could you please elaborate on the details?

I have decided that I want to pray for something myself. The Rapture. If it happens then you and all of your friends can go home and we can finally experience peace on Earth. Lets face it more people have died and been mutilated in Gods name than have been saved or healed.

Feel free to take more cheap shots at my spelling. I love it when the loving faithful show their petty sides. It tends to make them seem more like human beings than the self righteous that claim “to love everyone as long as you think like we (Meaning you) do” cultists that you are.

I’m just asking you to explain the rationality of the Christian perspective. But clearly the only thing you can come up with is “It says so in this book”, which I have trouble finding compelling as a reason to deny basic human rights to people, such as the right to love and live with the person of their choice.

If you want to ask for a Christian perspective, it can only be found in the Bible. Anyone who tells you different isn’t a Christian.

Quote away, just know that technically, it’s not God’s Word. It’s man’s word. So to expect me to take it at face value and not question it is simple foolish.
Who am I to question God? Well, who are you to question Brahma, the Tao, Buddha, Allah, Vishnu, Thor, Horus and Zeus? You seems to be fine with questioning the existence and condemnations of all those God’s, even though their existence is exactly as plausible as your God’s.

So, you “can’t allow” me to quote God’s Word to tell you what God’s Word says? >facepalm<

It is not for us to ask why God condemns homosexuality. He does. Who are you to question God?

No, I did not read that entire article, it was quite a bit TL;DR for me. But you only know what God apparently says through this book, which was written long after the death of anyone who was in it. I’m sorry, but I can’t allow you to quote the Bible and nothing else to further your arguments.
I’m going to assume you don’t believe in evolution, so the whole “God decides rather than nature” makes sense to you. But here’s the kicker. Why does God condemn homosexuality? If he’s the one condemning it, what is His reasoning then?

On witches: Witchcraft is turning to yourself and demons to obtain power or other gain, rejecting God. That is why it is an abomination. It has nothing to do with causation, and it doesn’t even require a witch to be successful in her spell-casting. It’s the turning from God that is the problem.

It’s true that the Catholic cult, by lying to people about what the Bible said, has accumulated vast resources which could have been put to use saving souls. Instead, the Pope wears Prada and sells “indulgences”. It’s disgusting.

Dan, you said

Or does he think that something that is fine in all the other mammals is just gross in humans?

What animals, who don’t have souls and will neither be saved nor condemned, do isn’t relevant. I never said whether something was “natural” or not. God decides what humans should and should not do, not “nature”.

I guess you didn’t read the article I referred you to, Dan, since it pretty clearly says the difference between moral and ceremonial laws. And Christians don’t “condemn” anybody. God does. We just tell you what the Bible says. You can choose to ignore it; the path to Hell is one of your own personal choosing.

Do you suggest that Paul also should be ignored (Romans 1)?

I’m a bit confused by your animal/soul bit, as it makes no sense int he context of the argument. I presented it as a counter-argument to the ‘unnatural’ excuse.
Meanwhile, the Colossians scripture could just as well be a ‘blotting out’ if you will of ALL the Old Testament laws. I see nothing there, again, that separates homosexuality from shaving in terms of moral vs. ritual. The value judgments made by you Christians, deciding to condemn 10% of the population to eternal suffering, are not made in the Bible.
