then what are you suggesting? BTW, did you lose your degree or star, where you demoted or banned? what happened to your (*), between your name?
*************
M*W: When the website was upgraded, I could not login. I contacted the webmaster about this, but nothing was done to correct it. I had to re-register, but for some reason, the program wouldn't allow me to insert the "star," and no one contacted me back about it! So, that's the story of my missing "star."
*************
Funny, so did Paul, what are you suggesting? That he was self-hating?
*************
M*W: Well, now that you mention it, as anti-semitic as Paul was, that may be a correct conclusion on your part. Hate emanates outwardly from hate that dwells within.
*************
...not worship, there you go again, putting words & actions into us Christians, why don't you study up first?
*************
M*W: If you have read my previous posts, you would know that at one time I was a staunch Christian.
*************
so that at least you could get things half right? or is that to much work? or is your hate so strong, that you can't bear to say anything nice about Christianity?
*************
M*W: It's not that I can't bear to saying anything nice about Christianity, I just can't find anything nice to say.
*************
he never said that he was gay, only that he had a "thorn" in the flesh, that could have been any weakness, my belief is, that unless someone comes out of the closet, they are not gay
*************
M*W: I guess we'll never really know if Paul was gay or not. However, Paul is known for creating Christianity and not as a backer of homosexuality. I'm sure it existed in those times just as it does today. Evolution will take homosexuality further, and we will be seeing more and more of it in our society but as androgyny. I'm not homosexual, but I know this is where we're going on an evolutionary basis, so I don't condemn it. Why should I? Homosexuals contain the One Spirit of God, and perhaps are closer to God than heterosexuals. There are homosexuals in my family, and I love them. There are homosexuals in our Earth family, and we should love them, too.
*************
there you go again lying, why don't you come out of the closet, tell everyone that you are so rabidly anti-Christian, that you can't think straight, you just have to lie, it is your "thorn" in the flesh. Come on, admit it, the truth will set you free.
*************
M*W: What may be a lie to you is truth for someone else. Just because you call something a lie means that your perception of it is invalid. I don't need to "come out of the closet" regarding my beliefs about Christianity. I think everyone on this forum already knows I'm anti-Christian. I don't believe I have to justify that again. I'm anti-Christian because I don't believe the LIES. If you choose to believe lies, that's your perogative.
*************
Paul? you are confused, you mean Mohammad, why do you think that islam is so anti-women?
*************
M*W: No, I never meant Mohammad. I have not studied Mohammad, so I have no opinion of him. Nowhere have I said anything about Islam being anti-women. You're CONFUSING me for someone else. I've said just the opposite, if anything, when discussing the burka and hijab. None of the Muslims I know are anti-women, in fact, the ones I know tend to indulge their wives and families, and communities.
*************
Mohammad had to use them as objects, to "plow" them, his word for sex
*************
M*W: Well, that's not any different than men of today using their verbal degradation of women in their "locker room" talk. You can't blame Mohammad for "using" women for sex. ALL MEN USE WOMEN FOR SEX!
*************
why are you having special cases then? if you can not be condemned (in your opinion), for your sexual preferences, why are you condemning pedophilia? if anything goes, then, why not that? how do you make distinctions if you do not believe in rules? what about Mohammad & the 9-year old Ayesha? is all forgiven, because he's not christian?
*************
M*W: I condemn pedophilia because it is non-consensual and it's against the law for good reason. It's a power and control issue these perverts have over helpless, weaker people. It may have not been such a social irregularity in some cultures, therefore, it was not considered to be wrong. Arranged marriages have been around a long time. In some cultures, betrothal occurred before the age of 10, sometimes earlier. Homosexuality, on the other hand, is consensual. I'm sure in some cases rape happens, in fact, I know it does. Our local law has exposed some horrible things going on in the male gay community. Recently, our sodomy law was found to be unconstitutional, and it was removed from the books. In this good-ole-boy redneck state, that was a truly major victory. Until you've seen an 18-month-old come into the emergency room with bruising and bleeding from the mouth and vagina or anus, you can't imagine the abomination of pedophilia.
*************
that doesn't make it any more right, then as now there you go talking about ol' Mo again, you're in the right thread for that, remember? this is supposed to be on "islam & homosexuality"? can you stay focused? can you get back to the subject? "islam & homosexuality", yes, "islam & homosexuality", you can do it, focus, relax
*************
M*W: Nothing in my book makes pedophilia right. I've seen to many horror stories. Personally, I've seen no cases of homosexuality, pedophilia, or other sexual perversions, by any Muslim, and we do have a very large Muslim population here. Also, for what it's worth, there are virtually no crimes committed in the Muslim community here. You want me to "stay focused" and "get back to the subject of "Islam & Homosexuality," but I am focused on the subject, and I have made my comments. Just because what I have to say, you don't want to hear, is your problem, not mine. You should go take a good dump, because you're full of shit.
