    Heterosexual sins, adultery, fornication, etc.

    I am pretty sure there is more to it than just that. Prophets/ religious doctrines should have mentioned it is okay in that case. I can respond to it but I think it would be off topic.

    Heterosexual sins, adultery, fornication, etc.

    So a gay priest who only goes after young boys (and not the young girls) because he can't find a adult man who will keep his secret - so he goes after young boys because he can manipulate them and keep them from telling anyone - is a pedophile and but he is not gay! Interesting! Anyhow, why do...

    Heterosexual sins, adultery, fornication, etc.

    Stop trying to put words in my mouth. I didn't say ALL gay people are going after children. That is what you want to believe I am saying - because then it is easy for you to dismiss everything else. I just tried to show that a part of them are manipulating a certain group of people to satisfy...

    Heterosexual sins, adultery, fornication, etc.

    It is wrong to throw the words like "homophobic" around just because you have nothing better to say. I for one - do not dislike gay people. It is the deed - not the person!

    Heterosexual sins, adultery, fornication, etc.

    Human standard only deals with what's is good or safe for the society - it does not necessarily take into account the things that interfere with God's plan! Every gay person is not openly promoting their deviated lifestyle. They lead a discreet life. But many are and their cheerleaders are...

    Heterosexual sins, adultery, fornication, etc.

    You are judging by human standards. In our society -a gay pedophile who abuses a little boy - is not charged for his preference rather than just his offense and a hetero pedophile who abuses a little girl - is also charged on the same standard! We consider both as heinous crimes and we probably...

    Heterosexual sins, adultery, fornication, etc.

    If the society, social media and the movie network - let it grow then you and even kids will soon see what you already can see in gay clubs in NY, Philadelphia, San Francisco etc. If you want a preview then make a trip. It overflows onto the streets. I have witnessed it. It is not encouraging...

    Heterosexual sins, adultery, fornication, etc.

    Also @Viker If they make a movie based on a true historic event and you have no background knowledge of the event in question then you won't understand it properly espacially if you only watch it in bits and pieces (a few minutes and here and a few minutes there). Similarly - without belief in...

    Heterosexual sins, adultery, fornication, etc.

    Also @Viker, If you believe in God then you should know that God sent multiple prophets in multiple locations over multiple generations. God provided basic information to different parts of the world via different messengers but many information got distorted over the years due to cultural...

    Heterosexual sins, adultery, fornication, etc.

    It may seem that the heterosexual adulterers are getting a free pass from the society but the reality is - society is worried about bigger and more damaging issues these days. Almost every movie on Netflix has some sort of homosexuality component hidden in it! In my opinion - it is an attempt to...

    Hate speech in the Quran and Bible. Should it be tolerated/accepted?

    I see what you did there! You tried to reverse what I said there. I was addressing cherry picking done by people who don't claim to believe in a particular doctrine. These unaffiliated individuals without understanding the true context of such verse - only points out verses that could mean...

    Hate speech in the Quran and Bible. Should it be tolerated/accepted?

    There are many good teachings in Bible and Quran. Why not consider those? A non believer of any particular doctrine should consider the context of any verse in that doctrine before posting and arguing about it. They should not cherry pick and take verses out of context. Sometimes context may not...

    Critical Thinkers vs God

    I think the link provided in the original post - is deceptive. I don't see proper details of the research or how many people were considered in the experiment and their religious background. I don't see any link regarding the 2009 pew poll either. I don't know how many general people or...

    John believes in a god, Joe doesn't. Who's right?

    Reading my post again - I see I should have written the lines you quoted a bit differently. I was speaking on basis of the substance of the original post. In other words - I was speaking superficially! Both Joe and John in the original post don't have any solid belief in whatever they believe...

    John believes in a god, Joe doesn't. Who's right?

    I don't think there is much difference between Joe and John since both are not sure what they believe. Both of them think one way or the other. It seems either of them can shift from their position by persuasion. So, good that they are discussing or arguing. There is opportunity to learn and...

    Idolatry and Christianity

    In the context of the topic of the original post (idolatry) - I thought it would be understood. I guess I was wrong! Anyhow I hope I clarified what I meant in my next post.

    Impeachment articles now filed against Biden.

    I am not involved with the voting process. I have never been a poll watcher or election observer. So, I won't claim how secure the process is - with just blind faith. Unless you are directly involved or have been an observer - then your opinion is also just an opinion. If the process is indeed...

    Idolatry and Christianity

    This is what is called out of context! :rolleyes: I thought it was clear what I implied when I wrote "extremely admire a statue" as God/god or associating an object with godly attributes or powers.

    Idolatry and Christianity

    Idolatry is a simple concept. Idolatry is the worship of an idol as though it were God. I agree with you that - in Abrahamic religions, namely Judaism, Christianity, and Islam - it is clearly banned! The problem is not with understanding the concept - the problem is when people do it but try to...

    Impeachment articles now filed against Biden.

    I am an independent. I don't vote party lines. But I believe some kind of universal Voter ID is needed to make the election more secure regardless of any kind corruption exists in the system or not. It is money well spend. I don't believe election process need to be made easy just for...
