Man, am I happy that most states no longer believe that bullshit.

If you let people start having sex when they get married soon they will be having sex with their toasters and end up wanting  to marry their parrot.

I do have a pretty toaster.  It is like this one:

It is compared with several other toasters at the link.  It is a great toaster.  But it gets too hot to have sex with it, and the metal inside just does not seem like it would be a good thing to have sex with even unplugged.  I think I will just continue to use it to make great toast.

(By the way, it is now a discontinued model, but if you found one still in stock somewhere, you might want to buy one.  But it is possible that the replacement KitchenAid Pro Line toaster, which retails for even more money, is better, but I have no experience with the new one and cannot be sure.)

Sex is only wrong outside of marriage.

Heterosexual, monogamous marriage, in some circles. And even masturbation is stigmatized by some groups. Why? Why is there so much restriction on one of the foundations of our species? It goes right back to control.

Sin is anything against God's nature. God said, Be holy as I am holy.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.

I'd just like to point out again that belief and disbelief are not a choice.

So making something that is not a choice a sin is either sadistic or insane.

 That is a very sexy toaster. You need to wrap it in a burqua so we won't be tempted by its lustful metal surface. (Your toaster is much nice than the cheap one I own)

What is your definition of holy? What exactly does it mean to go against god's nature?

RE: What Exactly Are Sins?
We don't know anything about "God's" nature. All we have are stories about this god and what people in power, with agendas and vested interests of their own, have written about it over the centuries.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

It is really a great toaster.  It is, by far, the best I have ever owned.  It toasts more even, and more consistent, than any toaster I have ever owned before.  It is also the most expensive toaster I have ever owned, even at the sale price I paid for it, which was less than half of the retail price listed in the review.  And I agree with the reviewer's opinion of it:

KitchenAid Pro Line 2-Slice, $249.95

The Dualit gets all the buzz, but if I'm going to shell out an insane amount of money for a toaster, I'd go with the KitchenAid. Like the Dualit, toast doesn't pop up—you raise it with a lever that slides smoothly up and down. The idea is that the bread stays warm in the toaster until you're ready to eat it. The KitchenAid only keeps it warm for about five minutes, so I'm not sure how useful this is, but it's still a nifty feature.


The KitchenAid is a 10-pound tank of an appliance. It has no special features and no warming rack (though, as with the Dualit, you can buy an optional sandwich cage—a small cage with a handle that allows you to slip an entire sandwich into the toaster). But it consistently makes excellent, evenly browned toast. The stainless-steel crumb tray has a nice, big handle. Overall, it has a smart, pleasing design. A soft blue light tells you it's working. The numbers are printed on the side of the temperature knob so you don't have to stoop and squint to read them.

This toaster says you're serious about toast. It's a pleasure to use, and it may even be worth the money. Which is saying a lot.
