I do love the maturity of running around announcing that you are putting someone on 'ignore'.
lalalalalalalala I can't HEAR YOU said the four year old.
They just took the whole Christian discussion thing too far JLM. If that was a place to bash Christians, then they should call it the Christian bashing forum. I am still upset that the mods haven't intervened and have resorted to revenge to try and get the point across. I'm just doing exactly what was done to me. I guess it only matters when I do it and not them (the name calling and insults of course).Well you're very *ucking fugly* men,

Nothing like practicing what you so called preach now ain't it
Matthew 18:21-22
Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, "Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother when he sins against me? Up to seven times?" Jesus answered, "I tell you, not seven times, but seventy-seven times. (NIV) This answer by Jesus makes it clear that forgiveness is not easy for us. It's not a one-time choice and then we automatically live in a state of forgiveness. Forgiveness may require a lifetime of forgiving, but it is important to the Lord. We must continue forgiving until the matter is settled in our heart
Heres a curve ball that is worthy of its own thread but similar to the intentions of this thread...
Is Asexuality nature or choice and, is asexuality a way of nature curbing population inceases...

I only preach salvation by grace, not of works lest any man should boast....I have repeatedly said this but you choose not to hear.
An interesting and note-worthy point though is that you quote the scripture in judgement of me.
Satan also used scripture on Jesus at the Mount where He was tempted.
Glad to see that you're reading the Word
Hold on.... since you never replied in the Christian discussion thread I'll raise the issue here.... if you wanted people sticking strictly to the subforum topics, please keep religion out of this thread. This is the science and environment subforum. Thanks.
I would gladly reply but didn't read all the posts so forgive my ignorance. What I don't get is why you didn't slap Goober on the hand for provoking me with this previous post?

touché. My apologies.
Coming around the bend here....and as always, in my opinion...homosexuals are "naturally" attracted to same sex as heteros are "naturally attracted to the opposite however, we all have a choice as to what we "do" with our sexuality.
The Kinsey scale would imply that some people do indeed have some choice in what they do with their sexuality, but for those who live at the extreme ends of the scale, it seems to me the choice is live in misery or live happily, and I don't truly believe that living in misery is a valid human choice. We simply aren't wired that way.
When you say those living at extreme ends, do you mean for example; a gay man trying to act straight?
No, I mean people who fall at either extreme end of the Kinsey Scale of sexuality. So, someone who is either 100% straight, or 100% gay. For someone who is 100% gay, the option of living straight is no more palatable or acceptable as an individual than it would be for someone who is 100% straight, to attempt to live as a gay. The choice is either happiness or abject misery. Which makes it seem to be no choice at all, don't you think?
No, my answer was exactly as I answered.... choice exists for those who fall in the inside of the scale, but I really don't see there being a choice for the people who are at the extreme ends. Given the alternative between accepting love and happiness, or, denying your true self, I really don't think any human being with a scrap of love for themselves can accept the latter.
What about if they're only 90% gay or straight and told that they have a choice? At what percentage would you find it acceptable to tell someone that they have a choice?
