I already DID. Homosexual intercourse is a sexual and moral deviancy,
Homosexual marriage, in turn, is a moral deviancy because it seeks to legitimize a moral deviancy.
deviancy to who?
your church?
that's fine and well but what about those who don't share your beliefs. some religions don't see homosexuality as a sexual and moral deviancy.
why are your beliefs more important and stand higher then mine
-
Not everyone believes homosexuality is immortal.
Just like not everyone believes in God, an athiest isn't going to think homosexuality is "the degeneration of society and the Adversary's relentless attack on the Family as ordained by God"
Using religious reasons really only works if you are on the same page.

Not in America, in Canada they can but I won't get into any debates about that

but this conversation never goes in positive area's so I am bowing out of it

I fail to see which rights those are. There is no law that says a homosexual cannot marry. There is only a law that says you can't marry a person of the same gender. Kind of like how we forbid cousins from marriage, there is just not a popular crusade on that one yet.
typically gay people want to marry their own gender

its an issue of equality at its core. they lack human rights (for different reasons then say black people and women did, but still lack them)
you can't deny that.
It wasn't about classifying homosexuals as anything, its about human rights.
And as I said, if you have a system where some people have rights, but some don't (for whatever reason) then they're not rights-they're privileges.
That's my main point.

I for one, am no bashing his sexual orientation. I'm bashing the whole notion of making someone's sexual orientation something the whole world needs to know or "celebrate". This "gay rights" thing is a farce. These people are not a different species. They are human beings just like everyone else and they shouldn't be "protected" or set apart as special and pampered or babied just because they prefer a different kid of sex than most folks. They need to get on their big boy/girl panties and just live their lives without calling so much attention to themselves. Shame on society for getting drawn into their pity party.
how is it a farce to want human rights
During the course of history people thought the same about african american rights, women rights, rights of those with other religions.
But since you are in a position that doesn't deny you human rights, you scorn them for wanting rights.
Though nobody has any rights, rights aren't rights if they can be taken away. Or denied for some reason because they have a different belief or colour of skin or orientation or gender.
If they took away Mormon rights and said they couldn't marry, and people thought you were less or it was a farce you wanted rights just because you're religion was a little different then someone else's religion, then how would this go.
It doesn't matter if you agree with homosexuality or not. It's a human rights issue, and if they had the same rights, as I said this wouldn't need to exist.

I don't see how free agency could exist without free will. I'm really new to the concepts of open theism, but if they are what I think they are then it comes down to this:
God ultimately does not know what choices we will make.
I believe, God may know all of the possible choices we may make, He will have set limitations as far as what we can choose to do, He can also know the ultimate conclusion of mankind. But when it comes to choice he doesn't know.
I agree if he did I would have assumed he would have known and steered me away from the whole neo pagan thing.
I think ultimately the choice is mine from what I eat to what religious path I go down. And I don't really think he knows anymore about my path then I do.
Say tomorrow I nearly get run over by a bus, by all accounts I should have died and I have a sort of awakening. God saved me, for whatever reason. Then what? Do I come home, see my "Wicca, A Guide for the Solitary Practitioner" on my desk and pour my newfound belief into that? Or do I come here and talk to you all and go to an LDS church, read the Book of Mormon, etc, or do I pass by the Catholic one on my way home and go in there...
And further more on that, did God guide me to that and did he know it would happen, if I became a Wiccan did he guide me to do that, even though some would say I am straying from God.
If he knew what I was going to do, why would he guide me the wrong way?
That's just what I think...

I didn't think my hometown had an LDS church, and hoped for shyness sake it didn't...it does...now I just fall back on extreme shyness for not checking it out vs geography

You can have a 'great' country, or you can have everyone belong to the same party. Can't have both at the same time
yes and we all know how well single party systems work:p

A hobby i have done since I was a child, is writing. While the subject often stays close to fantasy (goblins and witches and dragons, etc) in more recent years I have been collecting together things I call psudo-poetry, and am gonna make a book of them once I have written enough.
So far I've completed a few books (one of what I call a Dream Book, literally just that, dreams of mine and random things that come to me at night... wasn't written in a happy time).
A fantasy novel where a young woman rescues a Princess and has to kill a necromancer (was written in a month for nanowrimo)
A comedy-fantasy starring a rather uncooth knight named Yolo Swaggins and having to recover a sacred book from a dragon's horde.
And a collection of short stories about a family of faeries living amongst humans and what daily hilarity that ensures.
(Those were originally written for my ball jointed doll friends as all the characters there are based off ball jointed dolls I own).I donno if I will ever pubish anything, but I do love to talk about my favorite hobby. :)
-
My own book actually, to see if it was as bad as I thought it was...it's alright for being written in a month
not counting that The Wind in the Willows
-
oh I'm gonna toss in my "trash" pants (mostly being torn to heck at the bottom... could make some shorts...)
-
Thus ends the Republic...with thunderous applause from the rabble of Babylon.
I ddin't say it was right, just that it was.
But then how can you have a "good" country when so many people believe so many things.
Some might think completely the opposite, where as others will agree one hundred percent
-
I knew the LDS church did that ... but I never knew what it was called...now I know.

I hope you're kidding. I've never seen a president so focused on the hip Hollywood crowd.
That's what a lot of the upcoming generation wants these days, they don't want the presidents of their parents day. Times change and politics has to change along with it...

jeez when I was 10 I think I got... 5 dollars a week? (in the off season, in the summer I had a "jr.cleaner job", had real cheques and everything as I mentioned before...)
there were no cell phones or computers, my parents didn't believe in video games (they didn't want me wasting my childhood away-they told me)
sports were "here's some hockey sticks and a tennis ball go play in the tennis court" the sticks you'd always buy at garage sales and cut them down... I remember one summer getting some goalie equipment-the helmet was most expensive so I never bought one.
I never cooked for my family growing up, nor do I now
basically because I have one weird, weird taste in food and they are quite picky eaters... I don't enjoy cooking much, unless I am alone, they enjoy it a lot...
what's tithing?
-
well thank you :)
everyone I showed them to in person asked if I watched "The Joy of Painting" while painting them, especially the second one-and I was.
-
showing the size of the two paintings with a quarter
and not a painting, but a doll she's named, well Lakumi (it's where I got the name, as she was sitting beside me at the time)
Though her wings aren't visable, she has them-she's an ice faerie and I wrote a short story inspired by her some time back.
(Inspiration comes from the strangest of places)
Lakumi is the only doll I own that has eyes which follow you around the room. The other doll with glass eyes, Makemake, doesn't do that (mind you his are red so perhaps its the unrealistic colour).
Who knows...

The last time I saw a cow lowered within a harness... well...
ah that's sad...
Jurassic Park would have ended a lot differently
just needed the Chuck Norris of Cows

Yes, it is true that autism and Asperger's are different conditions, although they have very strong similarity. It is also true that autism is a spectrum disorder, meaning that you could have a kid with a mild, "high functioning" diagnosis, and another with a severe, "low functioning" diagnosis.
For the most part, having a disability (dyslexia, for example) is not an excuse for not trying. I just wanted to point out that sometimes it just isn't possible to teach them.
very true, it's something I could gab on about for hours, but no one has that kind of time:lol:
-
Lakumi, you have no idea. while in high school, I saw girls wearing shorts so short, half their tush was hanging out. What does the dress code say about stuff like that?
We have a dress code? Are you sure about that?
:deep breath: going back to the technology thing (less to rant about)
oh I was in high school myself not too long ago, in adult high school, it was worse!
There wasn't a dress code, so these adults wore whatever they wanted.
High school attire was the same when I was there too, I'm only 24...not that old:lol:

Gwen, forgive me for being obnoxious, but I would like to point out that some people with autism have such low mental comprehension that they can't read, or if they can, can't ever get past little kids books. However, when a person has a learning disability that severe, they are generally in a "self contained" class, and are not likely to be found in Mr. Polynomial's Algebra I class.
yes though there is a difference between autism and aspergers (least when people refear to them, they are talking about two different severaties, as aspergers really is just a mild form of autism the ones that can hold a job-usually-and "act pretty normal" as I have heard said).
I don't think I am normal by any means:lol: I went to school and did horribly, I have had jobes-usually solitary. No friends or anything.
But I think the people she meant were the aspergers kids who, and I have met dozens of them, either don't feel they should have to socialize like other people or want everything handed to them.
Obviously I am no specialist in the field, I just speak from what I have known and seen about it.
Though even they called me odd because how aware I was at what I lacked, which I think made things worse growing up.
Does anyone else see the irony here?
