God therefore handed them over to disgraceful passions. Their women exchanged the normal practices of sexual intercourse for something which is abnormal and unnatural. Similarly the men, turning from natural intercourse with women, were swept into lustful passions for one another. Men with men performed these shameful horrors, receiving, of course, in their own personalities the consequences of sexual perversity.

So you have a problem with heterosexuals engaging in ritualistic vaginal and anal sex to worship 1st century Greek fertility gods in Corinthian temples?


Go find some and tell 'em what you think about them okay?

But you were the one who posted it and deceitfully took it out of it's original context like other gay bashers before you.

So why do you continue to practice deceit and to slander others? Why aren't you repenting and trying not to continue in those sins?

Yep. Some interesting brain scan studies on that:


Creating God in one's own image : Not Exactly Rocket Science


"Psychological studies have found that people are always a tad egocentric when considering other people’s mindsets. They use their own beliefs as a starting point, which colours their final conclusions. Epley found that the same process happens, and then some, when people try and divine the mind of God. Their opinions on God’s attitudes on important social issues closely mirror their own beliefs. If their own attitudes change, so do their perceptions of what God thinks. They even use the same parts of their brain when considering God’s will and their own opinions."



"Through a combination of surveys, psychological manipulation and brain-scanning, he has found that when religious Americans try to infer the will of God, they mainly draw on their own personal beliefs.



Believers' estimates of God's beliefs are more egocentric than estimates of other people's beliefs

At this point it is incumbent upon you to point out where I have been guilty of slander or deceit, otherwise you have made a groundless accusation.

You really don't like gay and lesbian people do you?

The lesbians in the rare situations like this should go elsewhere. Just imagine the positive reaction from the general public. Heck, ya might even win over some additional allies.

Two angry "vengeful" lesbians who were trying to buy a wedding dress (or two)? When they walked in the store were they angry? Who walks INTO a bridal shop "ANGRY"?

Why is their "GOING ELSEWHERE" the "higher ground" - to me the higher ground was not slinking away as if they were doing something wrong. The state of PA has decided that same sex marriage is legal - they were planning their future "legal" event

THEY DON'T HAVE TO GO ELSEWHERE - IT IS THEIR LEGAL RIGHT TO MARRY IN PA

It should also be their right to shop in PA for the outfit for the event.

"Happily Ever After" is exactly what they are planning to do.

I guess you don't want them living in your neighborhood either? Should they move "elsewhere" to take your "high road"?????

Not at all. Wrong again, as usual.
