Is Western culture being destroyed?

Golly, Nums, you're on a roll, two unsupported personal attacks in one post.

I aim to please.

 

[numinus]

I have to keep poking you to make you jump.

If there is any poking going on around here, I believe I'd be the one doing it.

"...a ritual is meaningless."

I'm not a fan of pornography. But I see you are.

I'm a fan of humor, but I see you aren't.

I did? Remind me.

Reread your posts about sexual preference, body mutilation, and all your comments about anal sex.

Would you like me to give you an equally meaningless statistic on the costs on the victims of aids?

The victims of AIDS are not claiming to have God's own truth while raping children like the pedophile priests are. Do you know the meaning of the word "hypocrisy"?

Just the facts ma'm. Refresh my memory. And they are....?

So now you are going to try to deny your own posts, kind of like Peter denying Jesus 3 times before the cock crowed, isn't it? It comes from a lack of courage in your convictions.

I'm kind of thinking you'd be heated first, actually.

That does it.


You are NOT invited to my barbecue!

It would be an absurd stretch to think that '...the NATURAL and fundamental group unit of society...' includes homosexual unions.

Because you say it's absurd doesn't make it absurd. Bible-beaters like you claimed that equality for women was absurd too because it was obvious that women were different and therefore not equal. You folks did the same thing to black people when they wanted to enjoy legal equality. Do we see a pattern here?

You're supposed to be nice to EVERYONE, even transexuals. That doesn't mean you can marry them, now, does it?

And why shouldn't transsexuals be married? There is no requirement for children in marriage, only love.

You must be farting dust right about now trying to argue an absurd proposition.

For a person who claims to have no interest in pornography, you certainly have a profane vocabulary.

Its called logic. You might want to try it sometime.

It's called "convenient logic" and by using it I discovered that God doesn't like you, He didn't say it in the Bible but He meant it.

I bet that's what you tell your wife too after she has to clean up around the toilet.

Transexualism is a personal choice that can only do harm to the transexual.

Is it? There's no definate consensus there....and the more we research the human brain and it's evolution...the less some things seem like "choices".

The only choice may be whether or not to "choose" to act on an inate and biological orientation. Transexualism has long been recognized in many human cultures and in some cases revered, in some reviled.

According to: http://jcem.endojournals.org/cgi/content/full/85/5/2034

Studies indicate that transsexualism is connected with a difference in the human brain called the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis. In one study, male-to-female transsexuals and cisgendered women were shown to have brains that were similar to each other in the BSTc area of the brain. Both heterosexual and homosexual men showed male brain structuring in this area.

First you tell us that you have lots of sperm and now you're bragging about your "poking" abilities, do you have some kind of priapic fixation?

 

[Coyote]

That is a moral imperative as well.

If living a life guided by compassion (and by association, empathy) is a moral imperative then how can you justify a condemnation of homosexuality given that most research appears to show it is not a "choice"?

 

[Coyote]

The ribs are particularly good -- so they say.

Hands off my ribs. I'm way too ticklish.

You're not invited to my barbecue either.

I'm a fan of humor, but I see you aren't.

It's simple propositional logic composed of a premise and its logical conclusion.

Reread your posts about sexual preference, body mutilation, and all your comments about anal sex.[/QUOTE]

What about them? Are they not factual statements?

The victims of AIDS are not claiming to have God's own truth while raping children like the pedophile priests are. Do you know the meaning of the word "hypocrisy"?

Sure do.

Are you saying that priests who molest children are hypocrites? I'd be the first to agree.

Or are you saying that all catholic priests are hypocrites? That would be a blatant fallacy.

So now you are going to try to deny your own posts, kind of like Peter denying Jesus 3 times before the cock crowed, isn't it? It comes from a lack of courage in your convictions.

There is no sense in this 'he said, she said' charade.

The key word is 'NATURAL'.

There is nothing in the english language to suggest that homosexuals unions are 'natural and fundamental' group units of society.

And why shouldn't transsexuals be married? There is no requirement for children in marriage, only love.

Where does it say that the ONLY requirement to enter into a marriage is love, hmmm?

For a person who claims to have no interest in pornography, you certainly have a profane vocabulary.

I reserve it for the hopelessly ignorant.

It's called "convenient logic" and by using it I discovered that God doesn't like you, He didn't say it in the Bible but He meant it.

And in all probability, he would have very compelling reasons to dislike me. Being a liar isn't one of them.

I meant the medical procedure undertaken to change one's gender. That's a personal choice.
