Reply to Bashing Christians and Teens in Current Events JoeUser Forums

Well, I guess I would be one of those people whom you accuse of "bashing Christians." After one of my posts, you responded saying that I shouldn't call your or your family "stupid." I then responded pointing out that I didn't call anyone stupid, and that the word "bigot" would be a better choice. Again though, I didn't call ALL Christians bigots. I said that many are though, so discussions about this type of things are wasted on them, since

They just keep it to themselves better than most people Which is really fine though... since I'm not really trying to talk them out of their beliefs. I just enjoy discussing all of the possibilities.

By the way Poetmom99, you aren't included in my statements where I talk about "most Christians". You might not care of course, but you would fall into the catagory of people that I really enjoying finding. Where you can actually be open and understand what the 'other side' is talking and not just answer every question with "...well, my pastor told me." I mentioned earlier a friend of mine who was Mormon; he was similiarly open to discussions.</font

1/ what would you wish to be remembered for ? I would love for someone to say, after I'm gone, "You know what? He sure was a really good guy." I'd be happy with that. Of course, I hope my wife believes that I'm a great husband too 2/ what would you want your last words to be ? "No honey!! 12 times in one night is enough!!!" Okay, seriously... Poetmom had the good

Pardon me for not studying something I don't believe in. Shew!! You should count yourself lucky then that you happened to have been born here and were exposed to the right religion right off the bat! You would have really been screwed, and damned to hell I guess, if you would have been born somewhere

Read the book Beyond Gay by David Morrison, then you'll understand. I can't explain it, I can just offer examples of cases where it has happened Haha, I skimmed that guy's page; and I don't think that I'll donating any money to his cause by purchasing his book. Let's say that it was reversed an

Okay, so it's time to do some quoting now: Though you may not go along with the facts, you are NOT born gay I'll not take the time to point out how silly of a statement this is. A few other people have already done a good job of that. <TABLE cellpadding=8 width="95%" align=c

You can't possibly tell me that gay marriage will increase the fertility rate! Nope, but we can say that it's not going to decrease it. Let's say we all decide to allow for gay marriages, would you go out the next day and start "being gay"? I don't believe you would, and I sure wouldn't either

I normally don't resort to directly trying debunk people's statements on these boards, but... Have you ever seen a homosexual become a born again Christian? They aren't gay or lesbian any more after that because they chose not to be. this post is going to change my normal behavior. This is com

I used to discuss a lot of stuff like this with an old coworker of mine, who happened to be a devout Mormon. His opinion, based upon what he was taught, was that having homosexual desires and feelings isn't really what they consider "wrong" because they don't really have any control over what comes into their mind, or what turns them on. Acting upon those feelings is what is considered "wrong." He viewed God giving you homosexual feelings as

In my beliefs, every individual should have a right to choose what they want to do with their own life without the worry that some other individual who believes different will try to impose their beliefs on them. This is almost the perfect example for the OTHER side of the argument. If you say the abov

Oh... and in regards to question 1: I had a friend when I was stationed back in San Antonio named Jenny. Jenny was probably one of the nicest people I've ever known. Jenny was put up for adoption and lived with foster parents. I can't look past the fact that her mother could have exercised her right over her own body to completely destroy any chance Jenny would have had in life. While it is true that kids who are put up for adoptio

1/ abortion should remain a womans' right False - While the mother is host for this newly created life, I don't think she should just be able to commit murder just because she's currently hosting this life. 2/ war is wrong regardless of the circumstances False - war is a horrible thing that should avoided at almost all costs, and you might say that it is "wrong", but it's sometime neccessary. 3/ prison is the best solution for

It is racist though. There's so much variety among Asians, just like there are among Hispanics. It's like when people think Puerto Ricans eat tacos and burritos, when that's so not true at all. Words like "Asians and Hispanics" are used because other races aren't as easily catagorized by the colour of t

I find it easiest to be agnostic. After much of the same soul searching it sounds like you've done, I just realized that I don't know. I also don't think anyone else *really* knows either... For some people that's a REALLY hard thing to do though. I do envy some peoples' ability to have blind faith though, since I would believe that path would be even easier.

First off, I have to state something similiar to what someone else stated above: I believe in following the law. You make a choice to live in the society that you live in, and as such, you're saying that you'll follow the laws that society has set forth and agreed upon. So, with that out of the way, here's my opinion on the following 1/ prostitution ? I wrote a quick artic
