I don't recall ever posting a link from CARM, but it's no surprise that he is so depised here. Anyone who defends and stands up for God becomes a target. Makes me wonder which side you are on.

I defend and stand up for the Invisible Burrito Creature. You insult the IBC every time you worship the false god of Christianity.

The IBC is ok with homosexuality, as long as no corn tortillas are harmed in the process.

Jeff, can you please explain your obsession with all things gay? Why not champion a cause that can actually help people and make a difference? Most churches never have enough volunteers, find out where you're needed. Look at all the time you've wasted railing against a small group of people whom you can never change. Surely you must have a less self-defeating interest that you can pursue with the same amount of zeal.

Those are not just "sins," they are coercive and force others to participate against their will so common sense (remember that?) says it is WRONG, regardless of if one thinks it is a "sin."

And the Big 10 says what about SSM??


The 10 Commandments List, Short Form


You shall have no other gods before Me.
You shall not make idols.
You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain.
Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.
Honor your father and your mother.
You shall not murder.
You shall not commit adultery.
You shall not steal.
You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.
You shall not covet.


NOTHING here about SSM...

I think this may have been the second or third time that I saw Jeff attempting to reference a credible site. It's progress, not perfection.

Yeah, and it kind of avoids issues like incest, pedophilia, slavery and rape. Somewhat serious issues, but I guess it is more important to have the first five talk about adulation of a narcissistic entity.

In other words God is holding all accountable(especially homosexuals) until they believe and once they do believe they are no longer accountable and have escaped eternal damnation. Thankfully the scriptures do not teach this.

Can you please explain to me why you think this board equals reality? I can promise you that the vast majority of my life is not spent here debating with the enemies of Christianity. How do you know I'm not out there helping people? I don't feel the need to drag my personal life into these discussions but I will share that music therapy is a big interest of mine.

I only discuss homosexuality a lot here because it is the main hot topic here (I'm not creating these threads either), and I believe it is becoming a vehicle to destroy religious freedom in this country. So I kinda see it as important, ya know.

I see your Christian persecution narrative is still alive and kicking!

On the OP, I don't think Jesus was a real person, or if he was he wasn't the "son of God" or whatever you want to call him. But if he were, maybe because it wasn't a huge issue. Maybe Jesus was more worried about people loving each other and being happy?
