I'd certainly bet this too, as many animals certainly do it as well.

Can we get back to talking about grass, please?

Damn you, you damn shiny blades of green! Damn you to HELL, I say! Chafe for the fire!

Maybe we can mix the two, Homosexual Grass per say. Nature sure can be gay sometimes.

Well, if we really still want to talk about homosexuality...

I really don't think of things in terms of "Right" and "Wrong" anymore, as much as I do "Beneficial" and "Detrimental." I think utilitarianistically (practical), these days.

The way I look it at these days, I think The Bible provides advice on how to live a fruitful life, and not die a tormented death - the keyword being ADVICE.

When it comes to homosexuality, men had to bang each other, before God decided to say, "Yeah, umm, there's something I forgot to tell you guys: Y'see, the way I designed your bodies, if two (or more) men trying copulating with each other, said men partaking of said copulation will end up contracting disease. So, yeah, sorry I forgot to mention that earlier, but now you know. 'K thx bai!"

And then he nuked Sodom & Gomorrah (wow, Gomorrah's actually on the spell check around here?!) so disease wouldn't spread; 'cuz, y'know, they were REALLY all about that kind of stuff in those two cities.

Honestly, me though, I really don't have that much against gay people, anymore.

So long as I'm not being forcibly raped, I really don't care. Then again, I don't care if you're gay or straight, male or female; rape is detestable no matter who you are. That's about the best/worst card I'll slip to you on the issue.

Other than that, personally, I can't imagine why a human male would want to have sex with anyone other than a human female; human women are (typically) so soft, and gentle, and fragrant...! But, those comments would be considered SEXIST now, wouldn't they? Hey, you shouldn't complain when I actually feel positive about the opposite sex...

Just the way you wrote this, I couldn't help but laugh.

Question: is it specifically stated that is why he nuked the towns, or is this an opinion? I kind of find it hard that's why because disease can be spread through heterosexual sex as well. I could see it how he could see it as an unnecessary risk since it doesn't lead to anything (birth) but I have a hard time wrapping my head around God being the inital embodiment of the CDC. I mean he's god, he CREATED disease as a natural counterbalance, right?

Additionally, I have to wonder, did the people of the time know that's why god destroyed those towns? Did they recieve a memo or something? "You remember S&M? This could happen to you if..."

I have to admit, I'm surprised how accepting I was of gays when I went to school in Pittsburgh considering when in high school one of them - who had absolutely no business hitting on me - hit on me. I was kind of unconfortable with them after that, but I quickly learned you can't blame the lot for what one, truly misguided person did.

My opinion is that the entirety of the bible is an opinion.

Nah, he burned the towns because of the people's wickedness (not even ten righteous were found, apparently). So it was for their rampant sin, not disease. As for the origin of disease--in its broadest sense--it's my belief that it naturally exists because of God, but is championed by the work of Satan. A better discussion would be why there is evil in the world (or what exactly constitutes evil). That can go pretty deep. If you're into this "religious" stuff, that is. If you're not, simply pat me on the head and tell me I'm cute.

Judging by the famous story Sodom and Gomorrah has become, passed on through generations, I'd think people knew what it was all about. Well, the Israelites, at least. But then, it didn't exactly spurn them into obedience for very long, did it? I can relate. /Bible thumping

On topic: They cut the grass at the apartment where I live just recently, and it was indeed quite loud. Not only that, but the dudes operating weedeaters felt the need to converse as they worked, so they literally shouted with each other at the tops of their lungs. It didn't last too long though. I wonder if they hit any dog poop that was "missed" by pet owners.

Grass can't help being grass.

It was just born that way.

I'm not really religious although I'm game for talking about religion; still, taking that into account, **pat-pat-pat** yes, you are! Who's the cutest....

Goo goo ga-gaaaa! Hehehe *sucks thumb*

Words can't describe how I feel about this thread.

Maybe I can add to your feelings...

When pulling into a parking space at the local mall today, the car infront of me had "Accept Jesus... or Burn!" written on the back lip of it's trunk hood in black marker and "Starship Troopers 77'" on the driverside door. I almost died laughing in the parking lot while automatically reflecting back on this thread.
