    Gay Passion of Christ Envisioned and Attacked

    It's sobering to contemplate how Jesus would have been treated if he'd opted to incarnate himself into our <<<ahem>>> modern world. He was known to have associated with all sorts of socially marginalized types back in the day ... so who is to say that he wouldn't have done the same thing today...

    Transexuality and Religion

    You've utterly failed to demonstrate that. You've merely asserted it. The subject was transexuality [sic] and religion. You opted to define transsexualism as a medical condition and then opined (despite the second half of the thread's title) that it wasn't a religious issue. So to bring up...

    is Hell really eternal?

    That's all fine and dandy. But do you believe that bad people who repent at the last second and accept Jesus get to go to heaven? Does that irk your sense of justice at all? Until new evidence surfaces regarding the nature of infinity, I'm prone to understanding "eternal" to mean...

    What was Jesus' sexual orientation?

    You neglected to include the fourth possibility: BOTH. Perhaps he was a pan-sexual dynamo who successfully resisted the temptations of the flesh on two fronts simultaneously? I'm left to marvel that the church never worked this into the whole mythology, as it would have been a fairly...

    Gay Passion of Christ Envisioned and Attacked

    You're bothering to get dishy about the Gay Christ's haircut? Does that help explain your avatar's Farrokh Bulsara-styled mustache?

    Are demons real?

    Are demons for real? DePaul University apparently thinks so.

    Transexuality and Religion

    Was leprosy (the medical condition, not the metaphorical affliction to which you're alluding) literally viewed as the consequences of spiritual uncleanliness? If so, to what sort of spiritual shortcoming(s) would theists be obliged to view the medical condition of transsexualism (as Saint...

    Sorry, I just haaaveee to ask.

    I could be mistaken, but ... Catholics don't pray to priests, correct? They do pray to God's earthly mother ... or rather the mother of God's earthly incarnation ... or however it is that they put it. But that's another story. They don't actually pray to priests, correct? Unless the priest...

    God Bless

    Perhaps not? Do you suppose that the Bible would have ever gotten written if we'd left the task to God? My guess is that it's simply a truncated form of something like "May God deign (in his eternal, unchanging, transcendent wisdom and mercy which he meteth out from beyond space and time) to...

    Easter. What's with all the plastic eggs, chocolate rabbits & such?

    Easter is entirely about Jesus. And rabbits. OK. Do I really have to explain all of this to you? Jesus died on a cross. Got it? Hot cross buns require eggs. Got it? That accounts for the eggs. You can't get eggs without chickens, right? That explains the chickens. ... Meanwhile...

    Transexuality and Religion

    Not even in the slightest. And your perfunctory dismissal betrays a glaring lack of sensitivity to lepers everywhere. ... You've asserted that (and I quote): "Transsexualism is a medical condition and shouldn't be a religious issue at all." You'll note that this is not a medical forum, but a...

    In matters which not religion, I ask ''YOUR'' opinion and honesty to yourselves!

    If only a mere ongoing "argument" was the worst crime we could attribute to religion(s). What leads you to that conclusion? Ooooh boy. "Assumptions and logic?" Here we go. (((fastens seat belt))) Yet only one of the two has been demonstrated to actually exist. "Wheeeeeeeeeeeeee!"...

    Transexuality and Religion

    If that's true, would you care to explain why the Bible spends so much time talking about leprosy?

    Why doesn't the Bible condemn cannibalism?

    Except that at no time am I arguing that the Bible condemns cannibalism. Because it doesn't. As you've ably demonstrated, one is is obliged to appeal to arcane Old Testament dietary regulations to even get within screaming distance. Please cite the chapter and verse where the Bible condemns...

    Why doesn't the Bible condemn cannibalism?

    "Food doesn't go into your heart, but only passes through the stomach and then goes into the sewer." (By saying this, he declared that every kind of food is acceptable in God's eyes.)" ~ Mark 7:19 That would have been Jesus talking. Allegedly. These digressions into kosher restrictions are a...

    Why doesn't the Bible condemn cannibalism?

    Thank you for conceding that point. If that's true, doesn't it follow that anyone seeking to appeal to Divine Revelation to conclude that cannibalism is Objectively Immoral is: A.) ... doing so by inference? B.) ... making it up as they go along? C.) ... resorting to both A and B. 1.)...

    Why doesn't the Bible condemn cannibalism?

    Great. Be sure to e-mail The Badatz Igud Rabbonim KIR and give them a piece of your mind to chew on (in the figurative sense, of course). Such as? I haven't gotten to the post where you bowed out. Sorry. ... Thanks for playing. It's been divine. But you're not leaving empty-handed...

    Why doesn't the Bible condemn cannibalism?

    With God, all things are possible. Yes. My point is that the Christian claim of Objective Morality via Divine Revelation appears to be total nonsense. Cannibalism is merely one example. We could easily plug any number of other unpleasant items into the equation and see what happens. Shall...

    Why doesn't the Bible condemn cannibalism?

    Premise A: Kosher milk must be derived from kosher animals. Premise B: Human milk is permitted. Therefore? Q. - Is Premise A true? Q. - Is Premise B true? If A & B are true, then to assert that there is no basis for asserting that humans are kosher is simply false. ... Again: We only find...

    Why doesn't the Bible condemn cannibalism?

    Thank you. Your talent for belaboring the obvious is unparalleled. Allow me to now point out that human milk is also not bee's honey. What fun!
