  1. Heh heh.. he's citing the bible as history again *shakes head*

    There's no arguing with a Christian, oh well it's his fantasy :p

    I could tell him how many scholar/priests the church lost when it asked it's brightest and best to investigate the bible with the new German method of cross referencing and they discovered so many inconsistencies and outright lies they lost their faith and left the church

    But I'm sure he'll just come back with more of the standard dead dogma they are fed from the pulpit

    But you have to give it up for the church, it's been a great money making exercise.. as Pope Leo X said "this myth of Christ has served us well"

    Pass the plate :p

    This was said in the post, what does it mean?

    Does one choose ones sexual orientation? What have you chosen, and why did you make that choice? Do you think stamp collectors, chess players and rollerbladers should be denied practising those activities?

    What is the difference between consenting adults having sexual relations and adults abusing children sexually? Why do you try to make that connection? The definition of a minority group. What is wrong with consenting adults practising bondage?

    Why should gays park in handicap spots and be first in line for govt contracts?

    It means you are CONFUSED and STUPID.

    ... What is the difference between consenting adults having sexual relations and adults abusing children sexually?

    They don't want to "abuse" children They want it to be legally consensually, not forcible. Do your research before replying with a BLANK STARE.

    Why do you try to make that connection? The definition of a minority group. Why should gays park in handicap spots and be first in line for govt contracts?

    Why are you so THICK.

    What is wrong with consenting adults practising bondage?

    Why are you so DENSE. Stop writing me. It is like arguing with a third grade poinsettia.

  4. You know what rcanfiel? you created your stupid little poll to make yourself feel good about your beliefs or convince yourself about them or whatever.. and now when different beliefs are put forward you spit the dummy

    If you believed as much as you say nobody else's opinion would mean squat to you.. you are conflicted but can never admit it to yourself.. that's why you get so upset

    thank you, gentlemen,

    I used to go to cineplex for my entertainment. Honestly, this is funnier, I don't have to leave home, or worryabout a schedule.

    To all of you who have the courage to speak up for what you believe, BRAVO!!!

  7. While these are obviously posts from someone who is "well-educated":

    Show me the bones

    A tattered piece of sheep skin with an original piece of prose and an authentic signature might do it. How about a piece of furniture made by his own hand? Or was the son of god just an average carpenter who merited no renown for his skill?

    As the story of Jesus predates the KJ version of Jesus by some thousands of years, is it any wonder some people might believe some plagiarism had a heavy hand with the newer version?

    Does that mean a man, any man born at that time with the name Jesus of Nazareth? Or a special man who was of the same name but the product of a virgin birth?

    When did you learn to write?

    I just seen that movie last week. Man, what a bloody thing to watch. They beat that poor SOB nearly to death!

    … But I ain't never been approached by a Muslim trying to convert me. Maybe I just don't look desirable to em?

  8. The church has murdered millions over the centuries, repressed sexuality and women, promoted guilt and made billions in the process

    They can't be taken seriously.. they are con men with a good story
