Parts of the Bible Ruled Hate Literature in Canada

You see Cleetus that is the problem. If your brother is gay, you shouldn't accept that behavior. I never said you should shun him out of your family. Accepting this behavior is what has gotten us into this mess of people arguing this point and that about it. It should have never been a part of our society, 2000 years ago, or today, bible or not. We need to educate homosexuals so they no longer are!!!

To be quite honest, I would have come over with the pumpkin pie, but since you stuck your tongue out at me, I don't think I like you anymore.

Educate them until they no longer are? What century do you live in?

Say, did any of you know that psychologists actually say that people who are afraid of or hate homosexuality typicaly have supressed homosexual tendencies...:rolleyes:

Some of you guys trying to tell us something??

That's true Clam, but how do you know that humans made it to the moon? Because someone told you so? Did you see it live on TV (if you are old enough that is not sure of your age)? Do you know for 100% not even the slightest inkling of doubt that humans were on the moon? Answer: No Why? Because you were not there yourself. All of it could have been staged by the government in a soundstage in Hollywood to make it look like we spent all of that money on the space program when in fact it was going into funds for Area 51. Ok so that is a far fetched explaination. But it has merrit.

How do you know that it was Julius Ceasar even existed? You dont't know. Why? Because you weren't there to know him in person as the Roman ruler.

Both examples require us to trust those who teach us History. We have to go by what is taught to us by people and what has been written about the events that we learn. But then, that would require us to have *Faith*.

Socrates said that True wisdom is to admit that we know nothing. That means that nothing, and The Rock means Nothing, is for certain except death and taxes.

Just as our parents and priests told us that God exsists, school teachers teach us that there are nine planets in the solar system (speculation of a possible 10th but not proven). You choose to believe what you want to believe, because almost everything about the past and present requires faith.

Three points:

Firstly, there are some differences between the Bible and our records of the trip to the Moon. Our information describing the trip to the Moon hasn't been translated through a half a dozen languages, doesn't have the warped perspective of two thousand years to look at it through, and large portions of the information about the trip to the Moon are easily provable.

In terms of faith, I completely agree with you. I personally believe that God intentionally makes it impossible for anyone to prove He exists, so that free will will always be possible. The trouble is not that the Bible exists or that people have faith in it. The trouble is, that parts of it are considered hateful to some members of our society who put their faith in other things. You have the right to have faith in whatever you want--but you don't have the right to force me to conform to your faith.

Last point: There is no debate anymore about planet 10. It was confirmed long ago. :p :cool:

Who says?

What if I say that bottom line, people named Ya_Know are just strange, and I don't want to be a part of a society that so easily accepts them as normal?

What is the difference, Ya_Know?

In my best Arnold Horshack...ooh-ooh...I know!! I know!!!

What do I win? :D Don't worry Clammy I won't tell them your name...er...oops!

You mean Wayward Clam's real name is Arnold Horshack?:confused:

Naw it's Ron Palillo ;). Ain't that right WC? :D

I don't know that Wayward wants his name shown all over WD's so that anyone can use it. After all that's the purpose of having aliases, so we can lay into each other without it getting personal...


Ain't that' righ Ron, ( I mean Wayward)
:D

Either you guys are really old, or I'm just outta touch, because I have no idea who you are referring to. :D :D :D

You have to be old enough to remember a hit TV series called "Welcome Back Kotter" Its the same series that gave John Travolta his start in show business. It was on around 1972 I believe and is still shown in repeats.

On that show was a nerdy character named Arnold Horshak (aka Ron Pellilo). This was before the word 'nerd' applied to computers. He never really fit in except the rest of the 'Sweathogs,' the gang he belonged to, were so dysfunctional themselves they didn't notice it.

Here's the website:

Didn't he get his @$$ beat by Screech on that Celebrity Boxing show?
