Go back in the thread asshole, I really did correspond with you until you responded to me. But that's okay, you want to hang out with the cool posters. I don't care that you are a gay felon that cant hold a job. It helps us understand why you are bitter about life.
guy, your fantasies about me are interesting, but a little twisted. I think you need some help if you are fantasizing about gay prison orgies.
Anyway... here's the closest you get to making an argument.
So you believe that sin is okay, what sins are okay? Lying? Adultery? Fornication? Murder? Stealing?
Okay, first I reject the notion of sin. Probably because I was brought up in a fucked up Church (Catholicism) that told you even having bad thoughts was a sin.
What I do believe in is right and wrong, defined by whether you are harming yourself or others by your actions.
For instance, murder and stealing are wrong, because you are taking something of value from someone you have no right to.
Adultery is wrong because you made a commitment to another person and you are breaking your commitment.
Lying- depends on the circumstances. We all lie, every day. I think it is the intent of the lie, not the lie itself that's the problem. Not telling someone that dress really does make them look fat is a lie, but it's not mean-spirited.
I believe gay is a lifestyle, just like alcoholism and drug addiction. I don't hold that against a person, that is their choice and far be it from me to care what you do in your personal life, it is when you want to push your lifestyle on others, then we have an issue.
I agree. When the churches tell gays that they can't have the same rights that straight folks have, and use their influence to force that, they are forcing themselves on the rest of us.
Religion is a lifestyle. Homosexuality is sexual orientation. So when did you decide to be straight? Oh, no, wait you didn't decide, you just knew you were. I knew I was straight when I was about 12 and girls weren't "icky" anymore. Of course, the Catholics, being the Catholics, decided to split the boys and girls up after that.
Mormons believe their lifestyle is correct, you believe yours is correct. I think both are flawed as people will find flaws in my lifestyle, because we are all different.
The difference is, I don't brainwash kids into believing in a fucked up lifestyle like the Mormons do. They had 13 years to brainwash this kid, and then when she pushes back just a little bit, "HOLY SHIT, CUT HER MIKE AND RUN HER OUT OF THE CHURCH!!!"
Now, I have a hostility towards religion in general, the end result of 12 years of Catholic stupidity growing up. But what really irks me about Mormonism is that it is obvious fraud. Joseph Smith was run out of five states for pushing various kinds of frauds and scams before they finally shot him like a dog. His prophecies have been thoroughly debunked by science...
Yet if we can't stomp out an obvious scam like Mormonism or Scientology, what chance do we have against the bigger scams?
