"My position on sexual exclucsivity ... is that it is NOT in fact a requirement for a validChristia marriage." So stated Father Robert Williams, whose contovercial views led to his departure from the Episcopal Church. He went on to die of AIDS complications in 1992.
A strict form of monogamous sexual fedelity, he noted, is "anoption some couples CHOOSE. Others do not, and yet have life-long, grace-filled, covenant relationships." Regardless of how shortened they may become ---- it would seem.

That's very intersting. Was a link to this article posted somewhere here?
Live a short sweet life, sounds better than a long unfullfilling one :)

I think it's open as no question or challenge was included in the OP, but I could be wrong.

So why exactly are you on the internet? Why haven't you left "modern" society behind and moved into a cave to let all of us doomed sinners go to hell in peace?

Because God himself has condemned the poor boy to a life of mocking, condemning, ridiculing, annoying, and entertaining all of us unbelieving heathen sinners.

Geez, I thought that that was obvious....:rolleyes:

Do you get out much? I have a friend who feels the same way you do, but he doesn't get out much; he only watches FOX and CNN, and reads his bible. Maybe a little sun would help you?

Society is moving into the cave. I'm merely trying to keep a candle lit. Even Noah preached until the FLOOD came.

Permanence, infection, and expense-------it is one thing to buy a ring which can give away or trade in for cash. It is another to throw money away on something one maybe very sorry for later and be stuck with a scar for the rest of one's life.

But it's only money ------ something the poor wish they had...
