Quote:If they meet a guy. One of them likes him a lot and is sexually attracted to him (again, purely speculative). In fact one of them likes him enough to want to sleep with him. How in the world could one of them consent to having sex with him while the other contests it?? If so...What do you think that would be? Obviously half-rape seems absurd, but that only illustrates our inability to predict the crazy situations they could be subject to. That's part of what is interesting to me. That's my whole point!Why don't you start by explaining to me what a "half rape" is?
Quote:Secondly...There is no 2 interpretations of Christianity. Each practicer of it seems to have their own criteria for what qualifies as behavior that is Hell-worthy. It is perfectly reasonable to think that one of them could share a certain perspective of Christianity that would make them think that the other's words and motives would be enough to damn them by association. I've heard much more ridiculous beliefs on this forum to know this is not an unlikey scenario. This is a perfectly valid question existing among an endless amount of others. That is all that was meant by this. Picking out 2 questions that seem as though they have potentially cotroversial topics...is not at all pointing out any example of bigotry or intolerance. C'mon...we're all adults capable of discussing things like this maturely. Move past the taboo and offer perspective.Are you seriously trying to school me on Christianity???

"That's disgusting. There were clean athletes out there that have had their whole careers ruined by people like Lance Armstrong who just bended thoughts to fit their circumstances. He didn't look up cheating because he wanted to stop, he wanted to justify what he was doing and to keep that continuing on." - Nicole Cooke
