I guess we're agreeing,
I think....
Sorta...
Kinda... ;)
I don't think she is horribly immoral; I have no opinion of her personal life and I don't want to make one, nor am I in a position to have one. But I do take the destruction of families by sexual immorality and its promotion by media, entertainment, government and NGO agencies, schools, etc to be highly desctructive. I don't take it lightly.
Look at the illegitimacy figures. They're a herald of serious social decay.
Haven't read Penthouse in 30 years, give or take..but having two daughters go through college and grad school..well, dinner table conversations were very open...
Why is dmz picking on us today? what'd we ever to do him/her/it?
Fear of God is the beginning of knowledge. Love casts out fear, but the fear is generally the beginning. Only a fool is not afraid of the power of God and the fact that universal justice is inerrant.
Absolutely right!
I don't know,
Just call me Mary I guess ;)
Yeah, (1) those who haven't seen Ellen Degenerate naked and are thus still bi/lesbian, and (2) those who have seen Ellen Degenerate naked and have decided to go back to men (like Ann Heche).
Whew..that's a relief...I shall now go clean some shrimp..
Ping for further troubling read...
Poor analogy, but here goes:
A criminal should be afraid of a cop, but the cop's wife and kids play with him, tease him, and love him.
I guess it's finally safe for me to admit that I'm a lesbian in a man's body.
dike/dyke
OK,
Thanks for that analogy,
It helped a bit :)
Too many to get into on this thread - which would be way off topic and might seem like hijacking the thread. Suffice it to say that a thorough reading of the entire New Testament, and interpreting for example all of Paul's letters in light of one another and of the Gospels, firmly states to be absent from the body (i.e. after this life) is to be present with the Lord. Salvation is a duality of deliverance from our sin and the damnation that it brings and a life of fellowship with God (presently through the Holy Spirit, but also future everlasting life in Heaven). There is much more, but again this thread isn't really the appropriate forum for further elaboration.
Read Paul's letters to the Romans and the Corinthians and the Philippians. Take some time to study them.
I should have edited that... "as appealing and pleasurable as it is, say adherents..."
"Camile Paglia agrees. She's said that homosexuality often leads to sex without love, and conversely, the final destination of lesbianism is love without sex."
No, love without sex is marriage (rimshot). Thank you, Thank you, you've been great. Try the veal.
This whole bi thing with chicks is not surprising. I've found that when women get together, they can be vulgar enough to make a teamster blush. Also, thanks to popular culture, it's become hip to be a whore.
No, it's just too easy.
Roman sources warned of a declining population due to falling fertility from the 1st century, although present-day demographers have been unable to document a fall in the population [1]. But archeological evidence tells a clearer story, notes Ward-Perkins. "Much of central Italy and parts of Gaul seem to have been in decline during the third and fourth centuries," while Britain was abandoned, shrinking the recruitment base for the Roman legions and the tax base with which to pay them. It is telling that central Italy, the Latin heartland, showed the sharpest decline. I tend to credit the old-fashioned view, unpopular in the academy, that infertility due to infanticide, contraception, promiscuity and general immorality rotted out Rome long before it collapsed.
