They loved each other like brothers and/or very close friends. It was "philia" type of love, not "eros", so there there was no sexual element involved.
I am pretty sure he was referring to the feelings of a woman. Don't you bible fundamentalist believe love(agape) is not a feeling?

Prove it. The words speak for themselves. They were crazy about each other.
How about you quote some examples of these "aspersions", so we know what you are referring to. Thanks

Ok, so you looked, and could not find a single post where I displayed "aspersions" toward gays.
Glad we got that cleared away.
You attack me because of what the Bible says, which is precisely what Jesus said when he told his followers that the world will hate them for their beliefs.

Actually, 'aspersion' is a mild term to use by someone who is on the receiving end of, "You know what? You are an abomination." It's downright abhorrent!
There you go again. I asked you to quote me saying such things, and you could not find a single one.
You attack me, and falsely accuse me of saying things I never said, because you cannot tolerate what the Bible teaches, and you cannot tolerate me, because I believe what it says. Your behavior practically defines the word "bigot".
Bigot: a person who is intolerant toward those holding different opinions.
Keep your anger and hate to yourself, or leave it at the cross. Up to you.

the bible says otherwise..it was a LOVE greater than a woman...
That is what you say, but the Bible does not say there was any kind of sexual element in their relationship. It was a textbook example of "philo" love.

I am afraid the burden of proof is on you, if you claim they had a sexual relationship. The Bible gives not even hint such thing.
Davids sexual attraction for women, in the other hand, is well recorded.
The proof is in the pudding/bible. They swooned over each other like schoolgirls over the quarterback. But you go ahead and believe otherwise, if it's too darn titillating for you.

based on a god given definition? How does one love a man more than a woman? Twist and wriggle all one wants, David was a player (acknowledged in a previous post as having many women) so it would only follow he played the entire field.
