Quote:Looks like you need to crack open your bible amigo. Uncultured....nickers:
I got it. Now lets begin.
Quote:The song of songs is about a young woman and a shepherd who sneak into their lovers bed at night, and part at dawn. You see, they don't wish to be caught (as is made plainly clear throughout the entirety of the poem, and is exactly why this is such good erotica..it's forbidden).
Are we talking about the same book? I don't believe we are talking about the same story. They were married (read the end of the passage here.
Quote:Course, you could replace the she with a he. If you want to get technical about the song of songs, the female is speaking in the masculine (and that's the nice way of saying it, you should probably check your translation notes before you get into this one).
She is when she was writing it. Not uncommon.
Quote: I personally don't care how one wishes to approach the translation. Sex is awesome regardless. Like you said, pure and all that.
Until someone makes a mistake. And what is "awesome" is not always whats good. I once knew a guy who thought rape was awesome.
Quote:As far as gay goes...so, you didn't make any choice at all did you? "It's disgusting". If god didn't condemn homosexuality would you be blowing your gay friends? Can you imagine any situation in which you could conceivably choose to be gay, personally? I'd like to end this by stating that you're disgusting. Notice how my saying it doesn't make it true, now apply this to your own statement. The statement I'm referring to, of course, being the one that makes my statement true after all. Fancy that.
We both know that this is a circular argument that has not enough factual evidence to go either way. I have, however, seen friends of mine turn from homosexuality, and without proper evidence in either direction, their testimonies are enough for me.
Quote:You know what, it just occurred to me, why should any atheist have to deal with this bullshit? Shouldn't our resident faithful be handling assholes like this? Could it be that those "respected" theists among us are all just as much an asshole as this douche? I strongly suspect that this is the case.
Are you talking to me? Why do you even say these things? What did I say to you to make you feel this way? I shouldn't have to put up with your pointless and un-provoked insulting either.
