I think that the recent actions of the staff showed that users can't go around talking crap without getting warn'd or banned - certain flamewar instigators and troublemakers have been banned recently and I think it works somewhat like a scarecrow on the rest.I don't think I've never seen one of "these" threads as calm before. I'm actually rather amazed.
that's because school's not out yet
...but I ain't care! I'mma gonna troll anyways.
This guy has a few screws loose. The Bible does say things about homosexuality (nothing too specific though, mind you), it does not say anything about "effeminate behavior.""Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is an abomination." ~Leviticus 18:22 KJV
"If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them." ~Leviticus 20:13 KJV
...except the Bible wasn't written by God but by men. If God wanted us to have Bibles, it would rain Bibles on sundays. It's God.
The word "inspire" is used, and it literally means "God-breathed"All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness; so that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work. (2 Timothy 3:16)
Uhhh... yes, technically they are, not sure where you're getting that from. The Bible is the holy book of Christians, how you treat it is a matter of your personal judgement but TECHNICALLY whatever's in the Bible bounds you.The old testament is a good reference for what God does and does not like, but it's not a good reference to know what we are and are not supposed to do. Christians are not bound by the Old Testament.

I just want to point out there is more in the Bible people

Not to mention most parts about homosexuality were not about homosexuality and were edited later on to be about it.
The Bible at best is a very weak argument about homosexuality and really just stop being used so often.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biblical_law_in_ChristianityUhhh... yes, technically they are, not sure where you're getting that from.Christians are not bound by the Old Testament.
Although Christianity affirms that the Pentateuch is part of Scripture that is inspired of God, Christian tradition, in this case similar to Jewish tradition, denies that all of the Old Covenant still applies directly to Christians, but different arguments are used to reach that conclusion and there are differences of opinion within Christianity as to which parts, if any, still apply. The predominant Christian view is that Jesus mediates a New Covenant relationship between God and his followers, according to the New Testament, which ended or set aside some or all of the Old Covenant.
Very much so. Thank goodness I'm quite liberal when it comes to the Bible.Uhhh... yes, technically they are, not sure where you're getting that from.

Liberal christians believe the bible is a moral guide.
Fundamentalist christians believe the bible is truth.
As a general rule.

“You shall not eat any abomination. 4 These are the animals you may eat: the ox, the sheep, the goat, 5 the deer, the gazelle, the roebuck, the wild goat, the ibex,[a] the antelope, and the mountain sheep. 6 Every animal that parts the hoof and has the hoof cloven in two and chews the cud, among the animals, you may eat. 7 Yet of those that chew the cud or have the hoof cloven you shall not eat these: the camel, the hare, and the rock badger, because they chew the cud but do not part the hoof, are unclean for you. 8 And the pig, because it parts the hoof but does not chew the cud, is unclean for you. Their flesh you shall not eat, and their carcasses you shall not touch.
"Ye shall not round the corners of your heads." -- Leviticus 19:27
Because people are actually having a civilised discussion on the subject.10 pages and it's not locked. It's a goddamn miracle.
