Re: OT: American Politics
i find it weird that the most hate filled people on my social media are the christians
the point of jesus was this
Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
did they just missed that second part?
i think jesus was awesome (or whomever wrote his stories) and it has nothing to do with miracles

Re: OT: American Politics
God punishing Sodom
Masturbation
“So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God” (1 Corinthians 10:31).
“Everything that does not come from faith is sin” (Romans 14:23). “Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore, honor God with your body” (1 Corinthians 6:19–20).
“The fruit of the Spirit is . . . self-control” (Galatians 5:22–23).
abortion
You knit me in my mother's womb . . . nor was my frame unknown to you when I was made in secret" (Ps. 139: 13,15)
Stuff taken from bible study sites on the net.
Again, based on the doctrine of men who lived 1700 years ago.

Re: OT: American Politics
don't see masturbation in there.
don't see abortion in there.
but here's a nice passage giving specific instructions on how to conduct a god-sanctioned abortion:

Yeah, the insanity of trying to use a document patched together by men 1700 years ago to tackle modern morality.

FYI Islam isn’t older than Christianity. It began around the 7th century. 600+ years after Christ.

Sometimes I love this site, they say you shouldn’t talk politics or religion. We say **** that, let’s discuss.

Re: OT: American Politics
As long as people are thick-skinned enough to not take the stuff in here too personally, or to let it carry over to other threads, then yeah, politics and religion are great topics. Although the problem with the religious arguments in here is that seems like just about all of us are on the same page with it, so doesn't lead to as interesting conversation. The biggest reason the politics thread stays interesting is that there's a modest amount of disagreement on some thing (and the fact that Trump+co are complete nutters, so the left loves to point out their insanity at every turn).

Re: OT: American Politics
Really zeke?
So, you dont think the environment is much worse than say 100 years ago?
Our water sources are being polluted and being depleted at a rate never before experienced.
Our natural resources are being harvested at a rate never before experienced in any age.
I do think you are correct for the rights and opportunities for women in this country, they have never been more available.
I do think that children are better protected than in the past.
Our air standards are becoming less because of the toxins we keep pushing into the atmosphere.
Have you tried to get a moose tag lately zeke? No one I know has gotten one in the past 3 years here in ontario. 5 years ago, alot more tags were going out.
I enjoy the pristine and quiet of the Bush up here (bruce mines), but constantly find water bottles and fast food garbage even in the most remote places.
I think what bothers me most is the perception of entitlement I feel from many people.
As for the other poster who replied to my comment about the adoption process and who should be more entitled. If you read my post, you would see that I said all things being equal, if a man and woman cannot have children and they can offer everthing the gay couple can, then the man and woman should be given preference. I never said that gay couples dont make excellent parents because they do. And one of my best friends is in a same sex relationship, and they agree that "if you want the car, and buy the car, then dont complain because you cant carry a load of wood like a pickup truck".
Finally, I do believe in Jesus and his works and words. It is a choice and to quote Martin Luther King, " every man has to do his own believing, just as every man must do his own dying".
It is a personal choice for me .... and by the way I can't stand trump lol, I do believe that abortion has its place but it should be a choice between the 2 individuals involved, I dont give a damn if you worship a pig with wings, that is your choice.
I dont try to hurt my neighbor ( my neighbours just moved in the same week as us and I did all their plumbing for free).
So, maybe everyone should relax and realize that yes there are many many horrible examples of people who profess to be Christian's, but that can be said for every single spiritual concept and belief .....
Hell, as I mentioned earlier, the biggest problem we have is ourselves ......
BTW zeke ..... it was that horrible Christian attitude that led me to offer you one of my homes for you to use a few years ago, when you were looking for a place ..... damn Christian's lol
I still love your posts and sorry if I am coming off as rude or judgmental.... go leafs go

Re: OT: American Politics
didn't the old testament mention that you should not "spill your sperm" aka pull out aka birth control?
Did it not also state that it was an abomination for there to be sodomy?

It's also great to play devil's advocate with, since most people don't even know a lot about their own religion.
