But Joz, you said in post #145 ....So I'm confused. Is it or is it not, your business?
It is not my business; the fact that you watch certain shows on TV or that you like to cook or that you prefer football over baseball. And I am not going to peek in you windows nor follow you around town to see if you are cheating on your wife. This is indeed your business; how you chose to conduct your life.
But as you continue to repeat the same behavior over & over & over, you become hardened, rationalizing that what you are doing isn't
really hurting anyone but yourself. But you know as well as I, that that is a lie.
As you get further & further away from God, you open yourself up to all kinds of illusions. You don't want to be judged for what you are doing so hey, if the guy next door is boinkin' his buddy, who's really gonna care? But what if he has engaged in this behavior for so long, it doesn't quite have the same effect so, hmmmm maybe a younger, tighter bottom might be the answer.
And now we are having to defend what marriage is. We are being asked to accept a behavior that for centuries was considered an abnormality, a perversion, an unacceptable behavior.
So I guess the answer is, what starts out as not being my business, eventually does become just that.
