That's assuming an awful lot. That they all feel this way.

[–] coloradotex (769) 7 years ago

I respect your opinion GlenEllyn - apparently , I am not allowed to express mine

reply

[–] GlenEllyn (21592) 7 years ago

When did I say anything about your rights to express your opinion? We're both entitled to do so. I'm just questioning your source. I know there are approximately 2 billion Christians in the world today, but I feel you're assuming that they're all ascribing to your beliefs. I'm a Christian and I don't. I believe homosexuals are here to teach us tolerance.

reply

[–] [email protected] (690) 7 years ago

That's sweet of you to say.
Perhaps on an intellectual level, one might argue different levels, but on it's face, that's a very accepting remark.
And I'm not gay. but I get the difficulty it must be to operate in a world where you don't feel you belong.

reply

[–] GlenEllyn (21592) 7 years ago

I can only imagine how awful it must be. I read a book about a reporter who left New York City to return to his small Missouri hometown to care for his ailing mother. It's a well-written account of not being able to be who you are. When he was a child, he knew he was different but couldn't quite figure out what it was. For most of his life he had to hide his sexuality. His father constantly harped on him to do the typical guy things like playing football, etc. A lot of guilt was laid on him. The book really helped me understand how gays must feel about not being themselves. My heart breaks for him.

So you believe everything in the bible?

reply

[–] GlenEllyn (21592) 7 years ago

I think it's down to interpretation, to be honest.

reply

[–] godewey (16472) 7 years ago

I totally agree.

I just find it funny people fixate on this one subject
There's 10 commandments. From what I remember this isn't listed as one of them.
It didn't even make the top 10! How important can it be?

From what I remember this subject was only even mentioned a few times.
Yet here we are.

The bible also stated you should be put to death if you work on a Sunday.
You should be put to death if you commit adultery.
Hell, you're not even supposed to eat shellfish according to the bible.
That would certainly cut down on a fair amount of the population.

With all this going on this subject always seem to be one that people preach about.
I honestly don't understand it.
Why can't you believe in anything you want to without spreading all the hate.
I always thought religion should be comforting not hateful.

reply

[–] GlenEllyn (21592) 7 years ago

I totally agree with this. Religion and beliefs are personal.

reply

[–] Catbookss (13664) 7 years ago

I'm with you and GlenEllyn.

My new landlord told me about a conversation he had with a pastor, who's a friend or acquaintance, on a conflicting point in the bible. It was about animals having souls or not. Anyway, the pastor referred to the bible as "an anthology of opinions," and I thought what a perfect way of putting it, and so true!

reply

[–] godewey (16472) 7 years ago

That's a good way of looking at it.
You're going to believe what you're going to believe.
Just keep hateful comments to yourself. There's already enough of that in this world.

LOL! That says it all!
i am not about to get pissed off. People are going to believe what they are going to believe.
The only thing that makes me mad and turns my stomach are the hateful names and the vicious attacks. That doesn't seem very Christian like.... It only promotes more hate and violence. That is something we don't need.

Using words like abomination?
I'll never ever get it.

[–] MissMargoChanning (6630) 7 years ago

A few weeks ago, I read a few choice names here on these boards. They turned my stomach.
It isn't my place to tell people what they should think or how to feel. I do think that it is Jim's right to set the rules here, so we should abide by his laws. Hate Speech wasn't allowed on IMDb. To my knowledge, it isn't allowed here.
If some want to speak freely, perhaps they should move on to that other film site. Pretty much anything goes over there. It's either that or start a site of their own.

After reading some of those threads you sometimes wonder what's allowed and what isn't.

I'm sure "that other site" would welcome this.
I think they would welcome everything from the looks of it.

We've all been there. Got into a heated debate and let one go.

Not all gay guys do that. It's just assumed. Plenty of straight guys enjoy the balloon knot thing.

Hey, MissMargo. For some strange reason I've always looked for your posts just to be assured I'm talking with a reasonable person. One of those random things, you were almost the very first person I ran into a MC and I like your fictitious "handle", so whenever I see you posting something sensible, it makes me feel so good.
Seems so strange, since we don't know each other at all.
The other day there was a GD discussion about song lyrics, and it resurrected a song I really love:

Every Time We Say Goodbye
I die a little
Every time we say goodbye
I wonder why a little
Why the Gods above me
(Who must be in the know)
Think so little of me
They allow you to go

When You're near there's such an Air
Of Spring about it
I can hear a Lark somewhere
Begin to Sing about it
There's no love song finer
But how strange the change
From major to minor
Every time we say
Goodbye

The Bible does not kill people for working on Sunday , are you mental

reply

[–] Catbookss (13664) 7 years ago

The bible states that's what should happen to people who work on Sundays, and also if they commit adultery.

Are you fine with that too?

reply

[–] coloradotex (769) 7 years ago

No it does not state that at all.

9-10,000 years ago , there were countries that stoned women to death that committed adultery.
Then came a New Covenant with Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour and changed all that.

For the record , all I did was express joy at today's Supreme Court ruling and I must have offended some " snowflake "

reply

[–] Catbookss (13664) 7 years ago

Actually, yes, it does state exactly that, as well as death being the punishment for many other things.

Do you not believe in the old testament? Is it not a part of your bible(s)?

If you referred to homosexuals as perverted or perverts, or abominations*, expressing joy isn't all you did.

* Added. Forgot about that one.

reply

[–] coloradotex (769) 7 years ago

No - If one defiles the Holy Tabernacle they shall be put to death
If one works on the Sabbath , they shall be banished

Six days work shall be done, but on the seventh day you shall have a Sabbath of solemn rest, holy to the Lord. Whoever does any work on it shall be put to death.
Exodus 35:2

It's but one of a number of items the bible calls for death as punishment. Oddly enough, homosexuality isn't one of them.

reply

I think that in the bible Jesus supposedly came along and changed some of the Jewish laws? I'm not sure which ones those were, though.

reply

[–] godewey (16472) 7 years ago

That may very well be.
When you say everything in the bible is correct and is what you believe
this is included. If it got changed so be it. Things like this are still in it and
are part of everything in the bible.

If feels like "I believe everything in the bible, except what I don't and oh yeah,
they changed some things."
Everything is still everything. No matter what you believe.

Yes , Jesus was very tolerant , but as his Father - some things he would not abide - thus he has taught us to forgive each other of our sins , and God knows I have very many . But , while we forgive sinners , we are not to forgive the sin itself.

I am no judge...i meet them all, arms open, a witty word and a pat on the back

Seems to be working just fine and the thought of condemning others all day sounds simply exhausting

reply

[–] coloradotex (769) 7 years ago

I do not condemn anyone

[–] ShogunofYonkers (78050) 7 years ago

You called homosexuals 'abominations...'

Pretty damning talk colorado...
C'mon!

I have a couple of gay guys in my close family and they are more decent and kind than the rest of my family of lunatics
Im simply astounded that this anti-gay stuff goes on anymore

Who cares?

Anyway, i really prefer your movie comments colorado, you really shine in those entertainment threads👍
Maybe drop the politics and religious stuff...it does no good and makes you look cheaper than the cool guy you are

Best wishes dude

If you can dish it out you had better be able to take it buddy;)

See you around coloradotex

[–] coloradotex (769) 7 years ago

take what - I am not the snowflake here - I respect your opinion and the other posters
If you and others have a problem with my views , then simply ignore them.

qed , whatever

reply

[–] ShogunofYonkers (78050) 7 years ago

Snowflake...
creative!
Did you just make that up bro??

Yes, you seem to be very respectful

If you want to express your views, be better prepared to defend them
And i dont ignore anybody...im watching you every time you post
Keep your game tight Pal...

You go and have a good one

reply

[–] coloradotex (769) 7 years ago

No , the term has been in use for some time , as far as I know.
I always try to respect other's opinions , tho I often disagree with them.
I have done my best to defend them - as many others have for many years
I do not comprehend the game comment

reply

[–] ShogunofYonkers (78050) 7 years ago

Oh thats interesting!

Yes, you are probably very gracious when you arent calling other people 'abominations'

Your 'best' was lacking

If you dont get 'the game' i dont know what to tell you
This isnt a college class pal

reply

[–] coloradotex (769) 7 years ago

In the eyes of Christians , homosexuality is an abomination.
You simply disagree.
Yet you cannot seem to accept other people's point of view.

It is not that complicated.

reply

[–] ShogunofYonkers (78050) 7 years ago

The term 'Abomination' refers to a person that should be hated, feared and treated like an outcast

'Abomination' is a poor choice of words...its cruel and hateful

Gays get messed with all the time...so do Jews and Blacks and Mexicans, etc...

We should try to be more peaceful in our dealings with other people...accept and befriend

Thats the way to peace and happiness

What i have just stated is not complicated...why do i suspect you will miss the point again?

[–] godewey (16472) 7 years ago

I know plenty of Christians who don't believe this.
Different god or is your god better or are they just wrong?

So god loves all his children except gay people?
Must be a private club. Are there no gays served signs in heaven?

I would find it very difficult to believe in something that is so comfortable
in spreading hatred like this.
Believing in something that puts yourself ahead of anybody else.

My god would be loving and compassionate for everybody equally.

Good luck to you in spreading more hate and repugnance in the future.

Im certain that Jesus was a very accepting fellow

And He was continually lambasted for that very quality.

reply

[–] ShogunofYonkers (78050) 7 years ago

I respect Him for that very reason above all

MLK said the same to his flock as he educated my country regarding equality and fairness

Its way harder to take a punch than to deliver one... Peace seems more difficult than a war

Honest question. How do you feel about the Westboro Baptist Church?

reply

[–] Catbookss (13664) 7 years ago

Please don't go there, Padeen! There's more than enough gasoline on this here 🔥

I'll send you a box of KitKats!

reply

[–] Padeen (6459) 7 years ago

I know....It just really pisses me off when bigots like coloradotex gives Christians a bad name. They actually think they are being righteous too LOL. Most of my family are religious and they are not hateful. Most religious people I know are tolerant of all who walk this earth.

reply

[–] Catbookss (13664) 7 years ago

I know. There are Christians, and people of other faiths, who really do walk the walk.

I once read that, more than anything else, it was hypocrisy that put Jesus on the cross and I'm inclined to agree with that.
