  1.  @Ghxst750  He gave only humans specific rules about how and when they get to procreate. He might not want humans to procreate, since he's made it more difficult for us than any other animal...

  2. That's still a flawed wording, being that it doesn't rule out laying with girls.

  3.  @Zac-oz9lj  Can people be happy living in repression and denial of what they are? I don't know if I buy it. A person has to be deep into something to do that to themselves on its altar. I wouldn't expect them to be honest with themselves or others about damaging effects it was having on them.

  4. Why not? He's been cool with abortion before.

  5.  @Zac-oz9lj  Then you can't just tell me he's not in denial, either. You wouldn't know that he's not lying to himself about his unhappiness any better than I'd know he is. Neither of us can know for a fact what's in another person's head. All either of us can have is suspicions, and I'll share mine if I want to.

  6.  @Zac-oz9lj  So you're literally denying that people can lie about how they feel. Okay bro... 👋

  7. That honestly does sound like it sucks...

  8.  @faithuncompromised4804  Pretty much all Christians do...

  9.  @Zac-oz9lj  I don't think what I'm saying is ridiculous. If it really was you wouldn't keep having to change it to argue with it.

  10.  @KatholischerGottesdiener  So even Jesus agrees that it's messed up...

  11.  @Nameless10949  Churches don't make anything right. They don't own morality.

  12.  @yohannesayele6325  He must just like watching animals procreate more.

  13. So no Christian anywhere has a political affiliation?

  15. My way's better.
    2
  16.  @KatholischerGottesdiener  Yep.
    2
  17. @Pastafarian Yes you are. A church is a building designated for public worship. There are in fact places like this that marry same sex couples. Get over it.
    2
  18. @Pastafarian I don't care how the Bible defines "church". I care how the English language does. Open a dictionary.

  19.  @yohannesayele6325  Why does he want to then?

  20. How is absolute truth different from truth?
    2
  21.  @shihyuchu6753  Then what was the point of the word, "absolute"?
    2
  22.  @shihyuchu6753  That's what you just did.
    2
  23. Yeah, right...
    2
  24. It pretty much is.

  25.  @EricaTally  The only ethical choice that leaves you as a Christian is to just never vote.

  26. It's obviously not though.

  27. @Barislav Yes there are.

  30.  @timmy5387  Why are they not?

  31.  @timmy5387  I don't think the point is that incest is closer to being gay than straight. It's an analogy. The question is: If you think gay relationships are okay, do you think incestuous ones are too, and if not, why not? What can you say against incest that you can't say against being gay?
    1
  32.  @katiegeorge3824  I just said...
    1
  33.  @katiegeorge3824  Because gay relationships are what they were arguing about, I guess. And like I just said, the point isn't that incest is more like being gay than straight. It's an analogy. It's asking if you think incest is okay, because if you don't, and your reasons why not are basically all the same things that homophobic people say against being gay, you're kind of being a hypocrite.
    1
  34.  @timmy5387  ... Yes, you could ask the same question about being straight. "If you think straight relationships are okay, do you think incestuous ones are too?" Whether you use gay or straight, the sensible answer is yes. There is nothing sensible you could say against incest that you couldn't say against being gay or straight. Homophobes obviously disagree. Will you give an answer as to whether or not you do, please?
    1
  35.  @timmy5387  There. You actually said why you think they're different. Why was that so hard?

  36.  @timmy5387  Do you not know what an analogy is?

  37.  @bergstein88  gay.

  38. That's a sure way to a miserable life...

  39.  @natalie-qi5ft  Chucking the word, "sin" around gets you nowhere. It's meaningless.
    1
  40.  @natalie-qi5ft  Something is under discussion. Calling it "sin" does nothing to advance anything. It's a useless contribution.

  41. Do you not think it ought to depend on how the pregnancy came about?

  42.  @stargazer1405  ... Yes? The Romans did indeed exist...

  43. Then get rid of Christianity. If it's literally opposed to things getting better it goes in the bin.

  44.  @adriel115_  You just said it takes believing a certain way and living your entire life according to certain rules. That ain't free.

  45.  @KatholischerGottesdiener  ... Yep.
    1
  46.  @KatholischerGottesdiener  Stoning people to death is bad.
    1
  47.  @KatholischerGottesdiener  Yes. Stoning people is still messed up if it's only certain people doing it.
    1
  48.  @KatholischerGottesdiener  Very compelling...

  49.  baby shark  Building your morals on antiquated rubbish from the bronze age isn't really consistent with anything I'd call "progress-mindedness".
    1
  50.  baby shark  You just either have to be a massive hypocrite or have your claim to be a Christian seriously questionable.
    1
  51.  @TheFaySchoolKids  Christianity is probably not the right room to be in then.

  52.  baby shark  Pigeonholing can be what it wants. Don't pigeonhole pigeonholing.

  53.  @TheFaySchoolKids  It just might be the wrong one. I don't mean to stop you, or anything. I'm just commenting.
    1
  54.  @TheFaySchoolKids  No it isn't. If you think the Bible is rubbish Christianity is not for you.
    1
  55. @Pastafarian You are factually wrong.
    1
  56. @Pastafarian The Bible has no authority over what the word, "church" or any other means. The English language is used completely independently of it. It's very, very gauche that you keep feeling the need to end your comments with such grandiose pronouncements given that what you're in fact arguing about is something as plain, straightforward and trivial as the meaning of a word. "Try-hard" is the expression you're bringing to mind.

  57. The traits that takes sure are admirable. I just find it sad what he's putting them towards.

  58. ​ @Saidxplore  The only way that analogy makes a point is if homosexual men having romantic relationships is equivalent to children being molested, and I find that quite a disgusting suggestion.

  59. Christianity must be destroyed.

  60.  @TheElfpath  That really doesn't sound too loving or peaceful. That sounds a lot like a threat.

  61.  @laknidubandara  Truth is not a democracy.
    1
  62.  @laknidubandara  Many countries' political systems are a democracy. The facts of reality are not a democracy. Did you really not know that?
    1
  63.  @laknidubandara  Yes it is about reality. We live in reality. What do you think this discussion is about?
    1
  64.  @shihyuchu6753  Yep. You wrote "absolute truth" instead of just "truth". You drew a synthetic distinction.
    1
  65.  @shihyuchu6753  Yep. You said that later but in your original comment you said, "absolute truth".

  66. The Bible was written by men. It's as fallible as anything else that was.

  67.  @ore2739  Seen what?
    1
  68.  @ore2739  A little more specific please?
    1
  69.  @ore2739  Yes there is. "The truth" doesn't tell me anything. I still have no idea what you're saying you actually saw.
    1
  70.  @ore2739  I'm blind, my heart is hardened, my conscienceness is numb etc etc... The fact that you say all this to me just because I asked a question only shows that it's you who is hardened...

  71.  @ore2739  I haven't denied anything. All I've done is ask a question.
