Gay marriage a threat to humanity's future: Pope

Oh a facebook page, I'm convinced!! :lol:
You should be, it's also a Wikipedia reference: A canonized source for all liberals.

There is such a thing as gay sex. It even says so in your liberal scriptures ;)

No, it's not, there is no such thing as "liberal scriptures" :lol: just like gay sex, no such thing. Because I'm assuming you are taking about anal sex, and well heterosexuals do that, and us lesbians don't even have the parts for that.

Just close your eyes, plug your ears, and babble la la la I'm not listening la la la lol

Gay sex exists and you are part of it.

I think your the one not listening, sex can't be defined by gay sex, or straight sex, since the acts can be done by anyone, gay or straight. It's just sex. Is masturbation gay sex because it's with a person of the same sex?
 
Disjointed, fragmented and nonsensical. You are confused. Take a biology class. Pay attention when they start talking about drive.

What does that have to do with the bet I placed before you? Are you going to accept or shall I just take your comments as concession you can't back up your bull****?
 
Wisely done. We're talking about homosexuals now, not heteros ;)

Um, I think my post went over your head. But let's talk about this: what exactly is it that you don't like about gays? Is it the sex part?
 
Well, the current pope did at least finally concede that maybe it was ok for people in AIDS riddled Africa to use condoms... As bizarre as it sounds to applaud acknowledging something so obvious, that is actually a big step forwards for the office of the pope. I'm not really expecting him to suddenly bring the church up to date overnight. It's an institution that has been famous for holding on to absurdly outdated ideas sometimes for centuries. As long as he is moving it in the right direction he gets a golfclap from me.

Why don't we just ignore him altogether and not have to wait on him to catch up?

It's gay sex when one homosexual male penetrates another homosexual male. It's straight sex when a male and a female get it on. There are distinguishing factors. It's how we conservatives shed light on your clouded logic.

The very early church was much more like a pagan religion, and oriented on rituals than even today's Catholics would understand.

Really? What rituals?

The church has drastically changed over the years, and while yes the whole Jesus thing has been consistent the minutia around the religion has changed, vastly.

What are some of those "drastic" changes? So far as I can tell, the focus remains on the Eucharist. If it's "minutia" how can changes be "drastic"?

And obviously homosexuality is not a big topic, nor thing in the church. It has basically nothing to do with Christianity.

The issue is fornication, not necessarily with whom you're fornicating. ;)

No, it didn't. You were using the same stupid redirection ploy that all liberals use when they are cornered. If you can't answer a question, blame George Bush or the conservatives!!!

I don't like legalized gay marriage. That's my beef. I happen to be a traditionalist when it comes to this subject, and homosexuals should have no part in it. Just like polygamists, bigamists, or lovers of beasts should have no part in it.

By all means then, feel free not to marry a person of the same sex as you. Phew, problem solved.

Problem not solved. We still have to deal with the agendas, media messages, leftist educators.... Phew! so much work yet to be done!

Can you give an example of "having to deal" with those things? Do you just mean you don't like knowing that not everybody is a bigot? Because if that's all it is, I'm sorry, but that's not a very weighty concern.

Why do gays define themselves by their sexuality? Ask your buddy ;)


 
Many. For example, the Christmas tree is an import from pagan rituals, as is the selection of December 25th as the date for Christmas.

Oh, I thought you meant rituals such as genuflecting or something rather than cultural traditions of various societies. These don't have anything to do with doctrine or anything that matters. You know, pick a day other than December 25th or the vernal equinox or whatever to observe Easter. Whatever. You're right; this is all "minutia," nothing drastic or even consequential.
 
I'm talking about the first few hundred years, they adopted a lot of pagan rituals, like festivals to to some of the greek gods like dionysus , etc.
I'm not sure what you mean. From around 300AD, for the next few hundred years they would often usurp pagan festival dates and that sort of thing. Both because the symbolism could carry into a Christian setting, the pagans after all often chose their symbolism for a reason, and to easier win over converts. I do not know what you mean by taking the rituals of Dionysius. If you mean the mysteries I do not recall that Christian's actually adopted the rites of the mysteries per se.

Not really. The whole be kind to people, give to charity, and accept Christ as your savoir are the core principals.
The core of Christianity is St.Irenaeus' 'God became Man, that Man might become God'. To become Christ like we need to have our lusts and desires under control and in order.
 
Tells you to sacrifice goats and wear beards too.
You do know there are traditional Christians ways of reading and interpreting Scripture right? That these fully explain why we do not have to maintain the Jewish dietary laws but do have to keep to basic sexual morality and other such rules?
