I heard two people talking about this the other night, and was wondering what you guys thought. Is being gay in your DNA, or is it 'acquired' through your life?

So yeh, enlighten me...

No offence, but you're a tw*t.

People do not decide to be gay. It is a part of them.

No one is born that way. It's the sinful nature of man to go against God's Word. The book of Leviticus states, "You shall not lie down with man as with woman. It is an abomination." An abomination is something so disgusting that it makes one want to throw up, or wretch. God says this type of lifestyle makes Him want to puke.

Er....no!

I think most people don't bother complaining and arguing with you because of aforementioned reason which i really cannot be bothered to go into.

Mind you tis rather funny seeing you constantly outwitted and outsmarted by Light - you look like a rik.

Oh well, I've answered them once - and that took enough time. So with my answers - it's a case of take it or leave it. The other uses of Special Reserve seem to take the answers.

No. As you show contempt for me by failing to answer my questions, I show contempt for you by telling you exactly what I think of you, you loathesome hateful excuse for a human being. I'll stop treating you with disdain and contempt when you start answering questions and cease your evasiveness and cowardice. Thankyou.

I’ve deleted the majority of the post. But don’t think I didn’t notice that you’ve avoided addressing it, you increasingly pathetic and lonely little coward.

I’m not denying anything. I’m pointing out the inconsistencies in your answers and asking them to clarify them. You’re welcome to do the same to me, rather than crying about my not accepting what you say. I disagree with those answers because they are not answers at all; they are avoidance. For example, you state you’ve not eaten blood. But you don’t eat kosher meat. That is the only meat the jewish faith accepts as being free of blood. Therefore, you have eaten blood. Not only that, but you’ve eaten medium done steak, and then tried to convince me that steak is washed, as well as then trying to distinguish between blood and blood product when the bible makes no such distinction.

As I’ve said; based on your answers, you are either saying that the Jews are wrong to insist on Kosher meat, or you’re saying that you’ve eaten blood. Which is it, my hypocritical and desperate friend?

Heh. It makes me laugh when you demand to be left alone, when all you have to do to be left alone is answer the questions fully rather than avoiding them.

Ah, you’re relying on semantics to avoid the question again? Despite already having had it put to you that this line of defence is essentially saying that Jews don’t actually observe the Sabbath, eat kosher meat etc? Then I shall rephrase it; Don’t you agree that in order to describe oneself as being Jewish, one must follow the old covenant AS BEST THEY CAN? If not, what do you think is needed to be Jewish?

I see. There, that wasn’t difficult was it?

My question following on from that is, of your family, how many of them are now Christian?

I see; so what you are saying is that we don’t have to follow any commandments, is that correct?

No, I don’t believe you. At no point was it even implied that a steak may be dripping in blood. Shall I tell you what I think? I think you tried to misrepresent what I said so that you could, in good conscience, say you’ve never eaten A LOT of blood. Which wasn’t what I asked, was it? I think you were caught out and you were trying to weasel out of it.

However, I shall play ball and ask: why do you think any other person would assume I meant a steak was dripping in blood when anyone who knows anything about meat knows that a medium done steak has very little blood in it?

I see…so essentially, you’re saying that a Jew can eat non kosher meat, is that correct?

Because you clearly don’t understand the law. You’re avoiding the question dear boy, and I think I’ve proved that I know at least as much about biblical law as you do. So, your weak willed and pathetic attempt to divert me aside, answer the question: why are you continuing to lie about the preparation of meat in supermarkets and why do you attempt to distinguish between blood and blood products when the commandment covers both (in that it does not state anywhere that “blood by products are excused”)?

Which, once again, does not explain HOW they inherited it. So I will ask again; you’re saying they suffered; HOW? HOW did animals inherit our sinful nature? I’m not interested in your repeated and mindless statements. I’d like you to actually explain what you mean.

Heheheheh…you just get more and more cowardly don’t you? Do you mean “No, it is not possible for anything to be natural”? Or do you mean “No, human nature is not natural?”. Or do you mean “No. Now leave me alone because I’ve been trapped by my own statements and I don’t want to talk about it anymore”?

I’d like you to expand on the answer “No” as it is nonsensical and evasive.

No, you said he knows you as he knows everyone, and that you talked to him. That’s not the same. So God has spoken directly to you eh? What did he say? Same thing he said to David Khoresh?

That’s not blocking is it? That’s simply providing evidence to rebut yours. I fail to see how posting a pro evolution article could stop someone reading a pro-creationism one. As is, your answer (to me) seems to be “They blocked it because they dared to disagree with me”. Why don’t you clarify what you mean?

Ø Some.

Some what? Some arguments were put forward? Some people disagreed? Come on now; you were whining like a cat with a nettle on its balls before that I didn’t accept your answers. Then you offer inadequate and evasive responses like this. I mean, this was a no brainer; you could have said yes or no, but instead you go for the meaningless middle ground.

Okay; lets leave aside that you’ve gone from claiming that there were no arguments to rebut yours, to admitting that there were some. Could you now explain to me why you found those arguments to be inadequate?

>

Right…so now you’re saying that YOU are the one who said “that doesn’t count as evidence”? So it wasn’t someone else who used that argument, as you previously claimed? Can you confirm that that is what you are saying please?

Right, so you’re avoiding answering the question? It’s quite a simple one, yet you’re avoiding it like a gutless little coward aren’t you?

Tell me; if you really think “Why bother” then why are you still arguing with me on the points that you still think you have answers for? Surely you would have stopped altogether. Don’t you think it’s curious how you’re only avoiding answering a question because you know I’m correct? Isn’t it amusing how you’re backing down now that someone has, in very clear terms, utterly debunked your lies and misquotes about the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics?

Yes dear boy, it is. All you’re doing is saying “No, you’re wrong” and running away like a coward. I’ll restate the similarity in case you’ve tried to forget it;

I worked with a lot of battered women when I was a solicitor. They were of the mindset that their abusive husbands loved them. However, because they (the women) were so evil and worthless, they deserved to get hit occasionally and it was only the immense love that the men held for the women that stopped them being beaten further.

You are of the mindset that your God loves you. However, because you’re by nature sinful, you deserve to go to hell and be punished and it’s only Gods immense love that gives you any chance at all of going to hell

I think the similarity is clear. So, either offer a rebuttal or offer yet another mewling term of evasion.

And again, how do you know when you’re not posting any proof of the lower figures in the animal kingdom. It’s quite simple; I’ve asked you to give proof that homosexuality is less common in the animal kingdom. All you’ve said is “yes it is”. Provide proof please.

And what is your evidence for saying that it may have been written as such? Especially when, in the Being a Christian thread, you admit that you have no evidence of that beyond your own personal opinion?

No, it hasn’t. I’ve asked several times and you’ve avoided the question several times. I didn’t ask about Edgy, or Belldandy, or Archangel. I asked, quite clearly, why you assumed that a staff member talking about people posting as newbies was talking about you. Answer the question, you snivelling wretched little coward.

Alas, the chronicles of Joseph of Aramathea show numerous historical inaccuracies. And I’ve posted links to sites that detail the contradictions of the bible. Would you like me to repost them for you?

But that’s not what I asked; I was referring to your admission that the jews of 3.5 thousand years ago would have cut you off. So therefore, does that mean that if they wouldn’t have considered you a jew, you yourself can not make any such claim?

Chosen for what exactly? If they are no better, please clarify what it is you as a Christian believe they have been chosen for.

Which is laudible; there is too much anti Semitism these days. Do you then accept that your Semetic heritage does not make you a better or worse Christian than a Christian who is of, say, African heritage? Or French heritage? Or Arabic heritage?

Except those disciples stopped being jews when they followed the New covenant, didn’t they? They became Christians and were no longer considered to be members of the tribes of Israel. I think what you mean is that you are Semetic (because to be Jewish, you have to follow the Old Covenant as far as is possible), and you follow the new covenant that the Christian messiah jesus started (The jews do not accept Christ as the messiah, therefore he cannot be a jewish messiah. As it happens, the jews thought a contemporary of Christ, Herod Agrippa, was the messiah but he turned out to be a busted flush) and his Christian disciples observed, correct?
>

Ø And you finish, yet again with the same style of attack and sneer.





That’s because almost everything you’ve written is contemptible, and you deserve nothing more than sneering and attack, you evasive hypocritical little coward. However, as you’ve avoided the questions for the most part, it wasn’t so much a sneering attack as an accurate prediction. You’re getting desperate, and it shows. Are you going to answer the questions arising from your answers, evasions, and lies? Or are you going to continue with your cowardice?

Oh, you're a fundamentalist; I don't expect you to do anything other than avoid questions in order to keep your fantasy of being special in the eyes of God intact.

However, since you ask; I've not lied to you. Not once. Whereas you have lied to pretty much everyone on this board. Ergo, whilst my posts to you are comparatively trustworthy, yours are peppered with lies.

Tell me; are you planning on using the "despite having no evidence to support this assertion, I'm going to say that you lie and therefore I won't answer any more of your questions" approach to cowardice?
