Derren Brown did an excellent programme on Ouija boards and, yes, it was shown to be all nonsense. The participants pushed the planchette around via subconscious micro-movements which spelled out the name of a person they were told was dead. The person was actually in the next room...
Derren...
Total literal belief in the bible has led to all manner of logical and scientific contortions on the part of the believers in an attempt to always make their book 'true'. I agree with those who have said that the content of the stories can convey a truth that doesn't require a literal reading...
I used to wear a kilt when out hillwalking. However, given that the wind here in Scotland can be ferocious, I often had to "cover up below" in case I offended anyone (or any sheep)!
Klaufi: if you want one, get one. Trust me, the ladies love a guy in a kilt!
What about purely natural events, such as earthquakes, volcanoes and such like? Take human activity out of the equation for the moment (because we aren't responsible for all natural disasters, as your post seems to imply).
I walk my dog every day by the sea and at weekends, weather permitting, I climb the mountain behind my house. Sometimes - again weather permitting (it rains a lot here!) - I take my bodhran, sit on a rock and drum to the sea. Sounds loopy, I know, but it works for me and I'm not forcing it on...
I tried to have a look at the links, but the first one was broken. I'm hoping it wasn't the usual homophobic hysteria of "gays created and spread AIDS. It's their punishment from god / allah / whoever."
Not at the moment, thanks. You are asking questions, but let's stay on topic and get back to why you think homosexual marriages are 'silly' and 'sick'.
Then that's a problem with the level of education of the viewer, not a problem with the programme. I would feel insulted everytime I sat down to watch a programme and a disclaimer appeared.
"Dear viewer - Please note that Scooby-Doo is not a real crime-busting dog, and is merely an artist's...
As far as I'm aware, bestiality doesn't involve consent - homosexuality does. Bestiality doesn't involve an equality of emotions and desires. Homosexuality does.
You still havn't addressed my question: why do you find homosexuality 'silly' and 'sick'?
I kinda hope that when people watch these programmes they realise that there wasn't really a cameraman live at the event and that it's an artistic impression of events...
Ok. Homosexuality involves an attraction between 2 members of the same gender. Bestiality involves a human having sex with a non-human animal.
Clear enough for you now?
