These are your opinions and they are both ignorant and incorrect.
Wow, there's the pot calling the kettle black. Ignorant and incorrect are you middle names. :doh:
Doing my part to piss off the religious right.
That's no better than the post I was slating, calling me ignorant on a subject that is more than life and death to me is just :rolleyes: He may not be able to do better but that's poor for you.

You may assert this but it is unknowable.

I doubt they said the same things, or meant them if they did. Regardless, "by their deeds you shall know them", just because someone like Torquemada may have known the truth or spoken it unknowingly does not lessen the value of the truth itself. Is house painting unacceptable because it was Hitlers profession? No

You use this argument a lot. But it always seems to be when someone rubs your nose in something you can't support. On the other hand, you seem to "know" everything.

Geez, Stan. What is it with you and butt fucking? Get over it. No one is interested in your scrawney red necked ass. You're safe! :laugh:

You don't like my argument but fail to say anything to undermine in. Oakmans invocation of a historical figure who he CLAIMS would support my opinions is a straw man. Mai Zedong or Pol Pot might support his opinions or even Dr Crippen, so what. It is a non argument so my nose is just fine thankyou. Hmm, 2 minutes ago I was 'ignorant' now I 'seem to "know" everything'. Keep up the consistent debating line Tim it's really making an impact. :-D

Yes, it shows that you have an inadequate understanding of even my limited and partial understanding of God. It also shows that you have unacknowledged domain errors in your thinking which is probably why you make so little sense. God is exceptional by virtue of being God. If you can't spot the exceptionality of a definition that is fundamentally unique then you need a holdiay or brain reboot or something.

So you admit you don't understand. So what gives you the balls to tell us that our understanding isn't better than yours? :suss:

Nothing to do with balls, any claim to define or completely understand God is patently false and based on an inadequate original concept. Any concept of God that is small and pathetic even compared to mine is clearly lesser and therfore false, God is not less than my concept of him but infinitely more.

I don't expect to make an impact on you. That's a hopeless cause. I just want to be in your face so you dont' think silence is agreement. And maybe some poor sod who is just making up his mind may see you exposed for what you are.

Expose away. As long as you keep attacking the messenger and not the message anyone reading the debate is bound to agree with you right :laugh:

Thats all your comment warrented. We currently live in the society that hundreds of thousands of young men sacrificed their lives to acheive, and that society has elevated sexual liberty to a status of fundamental freedom on a par and even exceeding that of our traditional rights - speech, religion, the press. This is what they were fighting for. Providing a list of famous perverts is hardly an intelligent reply.

Yep and at tens of thousands of which were gay. You think they weren't hoping that that they could become first class citizens?

Ah but once you have passed a law making sodomy illegal, all you have to do is get a warrant and you can peep all night long. :cool:

That reminds me of the old SA, in the 70's, where police went to great lengths to catch people of different races having sex.

The first time the Supreme Court got involved in determining whether state marriage laws were constitutional was when they struck down Virginia's anti-miscegenation law. A black and a white who had married elsewhere were being forced to leave the state or face jail. Stan, of course, regards this as a clear case of fascist judicial interference with the rights of the majority to oppress the minority.

It's right there in the early chapters of Genesis, a man will leave his parents and be joined to his wife, they will become one flesh. I don't have it in front of me. This is the basis and orgination of marriage. The ceremony and state recognition and everything we have added on top is simply an acknowledgement of a fact already recognised by God.

That seems more like an observation of a very natural and probable phenomenon.

Indeed, until you consider that all natural phenomena are the creation of God, including probability. This was God saying how it would be, not describing what already was. The same God who spoke the universe into existence. His words carry the authority of law, as in a law of nature. This is not of course to deny that both man and nature are fallen, see Genesis 3.
