Well, I'm not wolfie bro. I don't read every post you put in a thread.No, I most certainly don't know everything. There is no "God," (that I've seen evidence for at least) so obviously I don't know why he/she/it does things. I simply think people should have a better reason for believing something than "a character in a book said so." As far as me only antagonizing, that's not true. I stated my opinion and discussed my reasoning with wolfie.

As far as God goes, those that claim they know why He does everthing He does are the most dangerous people on earth IMO. Why? Because they can get new and naive believers to do whatever they want. I will never claim to know everything.
Sometimes we follow the rules without fully understanding the reason the rule is in place. We do it everyday in society. I don't understand why you have such a hard time understanding a Christian doing the same. Maybe it's more that you don't want to understand.

Would you let your son post on the internet if there were openly gay people there?
I would. I would encourage them to do so. Gay people are usually more intelligent, imo.
Do you honestly think that a gay man would be talking to your son about the Pyramids..Meaning of life...without bringing his sexuality into it...
Of course.
Are you insinuating that gays are pedofiles?
Nope..but I would not like my son to post or receive posts from an openly homosexual guy..
I would be watching like a hawk...
Ever heard of grooming??...
Why would an adult male want to talk to a child???
You mean you don't talk to children? I do. I love children!
I never said I didn't have a problem with gay marriage. I have a problem with the gov't dictating gay marriage. I don't think they should be in the business of dictating what we do in our personal lives. I also don't believe I should be able to make others do anything just because I believe it. I do believe gay marriage is wrong however.I didn't say you were wolfie "bro." I said I'm not just here to antagonize.
I have never claimed to know everything either. I can't quite tell in this post, are you saying I claim to know why God does everything? I'm guessing no, since I don't believe in a god/gods. If you're talking about yourself, well I'm not asking you to say you know why your God does what he does. I'm asking you to give a reason for calling something a sin other than positing some perfect being, that we have no object proof of, and saying "he said so."
I agree we sometimes follow the rules without full understanding them, but I've not seen ANY reason given in the Bible for homosexuality being a sin. Plus, in your case, you seem to have no problem with gay marriage. Is that not a sin? Does the Bible not say that marriage is between a man and a woman? I honestly don't know for sure if it does, but some people have claimed as such. Why do you ignore that? Do you have a reason for being OK with gay marriage (where they'll likely have lots of gay sex), since I don't think God said gay marriage should be allowed?
I don't get into the business of criticizing other's religions unless they really want to discuss the validity of their religion. So I will refrain from entering into this line of debate with you.I am a Wiccan..I do not believe in ''God''..
I believe we have an inborn reasoning of what is right and what is wrong..
I have studied the Bible..Torah..Koran...and it seems to me that religions take out the bits that suit their cause..and ignore the rest..
Th Wiccans philosophy is ''do the best you can..help people..love people, nature and trust our instincts''
More evil has been done in the name of the ''Church'' than for any other reason..every war...every inhumanity..
Besides..when I go into a church..it makes my skin crawl...smells like a funeral directors...there is no joy..no happiness...just depression..
I love children too!!
I talk to children when they are with their mothers..or a guardian...I do not talk to children on-line....
So, what you're basically saying is that you're afraid gay men will treat you as how most heterosexual men treat women on a routine basis?Why do we have a mens restroom and a womens rest room? The lines have become so crossed and skewed that the reasons dont really matter anymore. It used to be that they were seperated so the guy cant get a peek and the girl and vice versa. Only now, the gay guy can go into the mens restroom and take peeks all he wants. Frankly it makes me uncomfortable to be in a restroom with a gay guy for that very reason. I feel the same way about sending my son to scout camp with a gay scout or scout leader because i dont want my son having to worry about sexual advances from another man. I wouldnt let my daughter go sleep in a tent with a straight boy for the same reason, makes perfect sense to me. As far as gays in scouting, i see no reason why they should be banned, but i also see no problem with them forming their own troops.

Chicks get groped, slapped, touched, hit-on, stalked, cat-called, stared at, etc. at bars and at work and on public transit and just about everywhere you can imagine there's interaction with guys. They deal with it on a regular basis with the utmost classiness imaginable.
But, since you're afraid that some guy is going to look at your willy, we have to outlaw gays and treated them differently?
Yes thats exactly what im afraid of. Just because it happens to women every day doesnt make it right, nor does it mean that it doesnt happen to men either. I shouldnt have to endure it from a gay man either. One wrong doesnt excuse another does it? I dont want another guy looking at my "willy" and i should have that right shouldnt i? And i never said they should be outlawed did i?
Don't ever join the military if you don't like men looking at your willy.:mrgreen:
Gee thanks for the advice. Im pretty sure there are plenty of men in the military who dont LIKE other men looking at their junk in a sexual way.
As we seldom if ever know the mental ages of fellow Interneters, and judging from what is said, we do indeed "talk" with children..all too frequently...why not?
I just find it incredibly amusing. One half of our society deals with this behavior on a constant basis, but you have it in your head that you're the only victim of unwanted sexual attraction. You're not. It happens to all of us. Don't get yourself in a tizzy if it ever happen. Let it slid, walk-away and laugh about it later. I do it as much as every woman has ever done it.Yes thats exactly what im afraid of.

Yeah, the dirty ones who never take a shower.
They did not exist for long....not after a GI administered shower with GI (lye) soap and a GI brush !Yeah, the dirty ones who never take a shower.

To add to that, as a gay guy, your willie (and probable hairy beer gut) isn't something that I would ever want to look at. Such behavior is unacceptable, sexual harassment and all around rude. You're making us out as some sort of vicious monsters, which I and all of my friends -- both gay and straight -- certainly are not. We are all human and have the exact same beliefs and wishes about privacy as you do.

As far as where the Bible says it's wrong, this is the most direct passage in the Bible about it:
Romans 1:26-27
26 For this reason God gave them up to degrading passions. Their women exchanged natural intercourse for unnatural, 27 and in the same way also the men, giving up natural intercourse with women, were consumed with passion for one another. Men committed shameless acts with men and received in their own persons the due penalty for their error.
We've already established that this is nothing but something you made up since you refuse to post any proof.
