The homophobic thread :>

That's too much information about what you're thinking about this morning, homo.

Another example of where the church has adapted over the years:

The Catholic Church has supported cremation only since the early 1960s (not coincidentally when rates began to rise). For centuries before, the church had viewed cremation as a pagan practice that was expressly forbidden.

. . . Your science shit, polls, and studies are just opinionated garbage to make the authors feel better about denying their own fantasies and tendencies. Deal with it.

Projection, pure and simple. We can always count on you- dumb fuck that you are- to do the heavy lifting.

[homerfobe]

Christ had nothing to say on the subject.

Yeah well, he said nothing about drunk driving, pedophiles, men trying to be women, women trying to be men, or shooting your ass full of drugs either. Does that mean those things are OK? I'm guessing he thought humans had enough common sense to know those wrongs without having to be sat down and told everything like you would talk to a child about the birds and the bees. Guess he was wrong, huh? Cocksuckers, twat twinkies, dopers, and child rapists abound like maggots, but that's OK with the liberal minded retards, ain't it? As long as you aren't getting hurt, right.

Because panty asses like the dumb fuck you are are so damn weak. Right?

Just commenting on the subject that keeps your's and your ilk's juices flowing. It's working. You're drawn like flies to shit.

...What I'd like to know, Mr.B, is what is your best guesstimate of the percentage of those 2.18 billion people who are "real" Christians...

There are just 3 - Mr.B, his pastor and Mr.B's wife . . . except when she's nagging.

Since Mr.B has a pastor and a wife, that proves he's not a cocksucker

Could be, but I think it's a fair question of him. He's the one who first stated there were different classes of Christians, some of whom weren't "real." He has identified some already that he deems "unreal," so I'd just like to get the overall global summary.

Either y'all are dumb as a rock or your yanking B's chain. I'm appalled that all you, as educated as you 'appear' to be, can't understand what he's talking about in reference to real Christians. Even I know what he means. I guess you don't know what Christian means? I know what he's saying when he says that you can call yourself what you want to, but living what you say you are is the telling tale. If I see a well-known figure of the community who is known as a devout Christian or a preacher in a bar trying to pick up women, I for damn sure am going to doubt his Christianity. (There's a story in the news now about a preacher who tried to force his way in a motel room and get the woman to screw for money) Being a Christian is not something you can buy or inherit, or have bestowed on you. It's something you earn, something none of you or me have, and I'm guessing because of your continued spewing towards Mr.B, it's something you envy in him, because of his tolerance to your bullshit.

[O Really]

I think Mr.B is capable of taking care of himself without help from the filth section. But it is an open question for whoever wants to guess at it. What percentage of the more than 2 billion nominal Christians are "real" Christians?

Only God knows.

It's something you earn, something none of you or me have, and I'm guessing because of your continued spewing towards Mr.B, it's something you envy in him, because of his tolerance to your b.s."

"I think Mr.B is capable of taking care of himself without help from the filth section. But it is an open question for whoever wants to guess at it. What percentage of the more than 2 billion nominal Christians are "real" Christians?"

"Only God knows."

For sure, God only knows. I certainly can't answer that question; I can only go by what I see around me daily. I have to agree with Homerfobe's assessment that I quoted above; the Christian is one of the most scrutinized individuals in America. Many times, I have slipped up and said or done something wrong, only to have someone say "I thought you were a Christian!"

A preacher once said that "Satan is not concerned with those who sneer at God or the notion that He exists; he's after the one who makes every effort in his/her life to follow Christ".......and I have found that to be absolutely true.

I want people to see Christ in me; I'm not perfect, never claimed to be. Christ never said anything about homosexuality because it had already been said. Homosexuality in the Bible is considered an abominable sin....however Christ did say to hate the sin, not the sinner.

Vrede throws my anti-gay beliefs and opinions in my face......since man is a carnal creature given to a reprobate mind, I simply ignore those rantings.

[rstrong]

Christ never said anything about homosexuality because it had already been said.

Two days ago in the Religion Thread, you said:

You still hung up on Jewish Law? Don't forget that cotton and polyester thingy..... I thought surely you'd be smart enough to know that Christianity wasn't around back then.

Here you are saying that the old "Jewish Law" does apply. Apparently today, Christianity, was around back then.

There's a reason why you encounter hostility here: Compared to Homerphobe you may be more polite, but you're also a hell of a lot more dishonest and hypocritical.

In any case, according to the position you take TODAY, most of the rest of Old Testament laws still apply. As long as Christ didn't specifically say otherwise, to not follow these rules is an "abominable sin." It means that yes, Christ still requires you to kill someone for wearing a cotton-polyester blend.

From Wikipedia: Christian views on slavery: New Testament:

Avery Robert Dulles held the opinion that "Jesus, though he repeatedly denounced sin as a kind of moral slavery, said not a word against slavery as a social institution", and believes that the writers of the New Testament did not oppose slavery either. In his paper published in Evangelical Quarterly, Kevin Giles notes that Jesus often encountered slavery, "but not one word of criticism did the Lord utter against slavery." Giles points to this fact as being used as an argument that Jesus approved of slavery.

It goes on to list several examples where the apostles supported slavery.

So.... A man can sell his daughter as a sex slave to another man (Exodus 21:7). (When referring to female slaves, some translations substitute the polite terms "handmaiden" or "servant" for "concubine.") If that second man then beats her to death with a rod, as long as she lingers for a day or two before dying, that's OK. (Exodus 21:21) Both men are still good Christians.

According to your position today that is, which you need to oppose same-sex relationships on Biblical grounds.

[Bungalow Bill]

Since each side in a war believes that God is on their side, I guess the winners
are the ones who are praying harder. Whatever. Same thing, in a much less
important aspect, as sports teams. Guess the Red Sox were better Christians
than all the other teams in 2013.

So the preacher gets caught in a bad place. He repents, goes back to his old
job until he gets caught again. Repeat as necessary. Of course after a while,
folks get a little tired.

Good to know that Satan isn't really after me. But I don't believe in Satan.
Guess that makes it a wash.

[bannination]

Slavery is about the most evil thing you could do to another person... and that's fine...... just don't covet someone's possessions or you'll go straight to hell.

Ah... morals.

[homerfobe]

...cocksucking faggot...boys...shit...fantasies and tendencies...

...cocksucker...cocksucker...

...fruits...poo...Gay...

...pedophiles, men trying to be women, women trying to be men...ass...Cocksuckers, twat twinkies...child rapists...

...panty asses...fuck...

...juices flowing...shit.

Obsessed.

You love it when I talk dirty to you don't you. Don't you love the way those words just flow over your tongue?

[Mr.B]

"Here you are saying that the old "Jewish Law" does apply. Apparently today, Christianity, was around back then."
"According to your position today that is, which you need to oppose same-sex relationships on Biblical grounds."

Careful....you'll bust a vessel. Now, tell me what is right (from a natural standpoint) about homosexual relationships?

Being completely honest, how did you feel about homosexuals when you were a kid growing up? Like I said, be honest.

[Mr.B]

"Since Mr.B has a pastor and a wife, that proves he's not....(gay)"

"Not that I think Mr.B is one but that doesn't prove it at all, as we've seen countless times."

You wanna type that a little bit slower so's I can understand what that means? :-0?>

[Mr.B]

"...Vrede throws my anti-gay beliefs and opinions in my face......since man is a carnal creature given to a reprobate mind, I simply ignore those rantings."

"As we've been over several times and you lied about and then ran away from, when I think about gays I think about tolerance, civil rights and equality while you and homerfobe are the one that obsess about their carnality."

I'm not "obsessed" silly; I'm merely responding to posts made in this thread which happens to deal with the subject at hand.

I suppose there's truth to the old adage "Mockery (or Imitation) is a sincere form of flattery"

Meaning:
"This expression is usually mocking another person with the intention of gaining attention."
.....maybe Homey's right...you do envy me!

[O Really]

Further, having a pastor and a wife isn't any proof that he has sex of any type.

[Mr.B]

"I do not think that you engage in gaysex but the fact that you have a pastor and a wife are no proof of it at all."
It's an excellent starting point.
"Think Jerry Sandusky, Larry Craig and Ted Haggard...."
Uhhh...I'd rather not.

"Further, having a pastor and a wife isn't any proof that he has sex of any type."
Well...y'all have a point in the "pastor" part; however, having a wife for 46 years.......

(why does that little magnifying-glass thingy pop up on the emoticon?)

I didn't think about them. It was never relevant. The only exception I can think of is when the TV show Soap tackled the issue with Billy Crystal's character. And no, there was no sense that his character was evil, or any other response that you're obviously hoping for.

As an adult, I owned a house where the next-door neighbors were a lesbian couple, and across the back lane there was a gay couple. We were all friends. FAMILY friends. Their relationship status was still never relevant, nor was there any reason for it to be.

All you've done with your diversion is reinforce how dishonest and hypocritical you are. You declare same-sex relationships to be evil on Old Testament grounds, and hours later declare the Old Testament irrelevant when it's inconvenience to your argument. When this is pointed out, what you've just done is yell "What's that behind you!!!!" and run away.

CBC: Same-sex weddings now legally recognized in England, Wales

Most Britons agree. Polls show about two-thirds of people in the country back gay unions, and support is highest among the young. [...] A same-sex marriage law passed in Scotland last month is expected to go into effect in October.
