Sometimes you own the libs. Sometimes, the libs own you.
Quote:This is something I've never really come to terms with. Do you accept some tenets and reject others? Most Christians seem content to eat shellfish, not accept slavery, do not call for the death penalty for people who work on the Sabbath.

It has made one half of the world fools, and the other half hypocrites." Rap is just repeating his same idiotic tripe, so no response is necessary.

Quote:Originally posted by kpo: Christians are less inconsistent than you think. The rule, at least in the Christian circle I used to be associated with, is that all the severe and stringent rules in the OLD testament can (and should be) ignored. That's new testament theology as laid out by Saint Paul: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Covenant_Theology I can look up some bible verses if you want, but it's basically stating that since the death of Jesus people can be reconciled to God by the fact that their sin has been paid for, and so they don't have to live their lives by all the strict OT regulations. But the definition of sin has not changed, so things like the Ten Commandments are still somewhat relevant. So too, arguably, are passages where homosexuality is described as an 'abomination' - God's not likely to have changed his mind on that. Keep in mind that the OT is still the word of God, it's just been superseded by the NT. It's not personal. It's just war.

Quote:And the issue really comes down to the fact that texts were written thousands of years ago by men who were products of their time and were writing wisdoms and laws applicable thousands of years ago. So some of the writing feels relevant for todays world, and some of it does not. What it clearly isn't, some divinely inspired text.

"Christian Movement Says Husbands NEED To Keep Their Wives In Line" The headline of this Enquirer magazine swore to tell you the truth about the Obama's Secret Lives. I know you're afraid of the real media today Niki, but you seriously could do better than quoting a highschool book report from Salem. Love ya girl, 6

Any I don't know how these discussion bforums work....I do see that this happened over six months ago. But I wanted to say thanks for starting this topic and to the majority of the people who shared their thoughts and wisdom. Won't bore you all with the details but I married into a very strict Nazarene family and was belittled and controlled (from the food I ate, the clothes I wore, to what I was allowed to think) for five years before I got out. Religion was an easy way to control someone who grew up a minister's daughter. Though I was never spanked, there are many ways "to put a woman in her place". I left 16 yrs ago with my 5yr old son and despite being in a healthy relationship now, I still have moments that creep up on me from the past...moments when I realize I'm not as cured as I think of it. Today was one of those times and honestly reading this thread helped me more than any others. So thank you all so much for sharing :-) Jenjen

Quote:Originally posted by Storymark: It was brave, and should be applauded. This summer, I attended my cousin's wedding. During the ceremony, the pastor took about 5 minutes to defend this mentality - to explain to us all why it really is best for the man to dominate, and the woman to be submissive to him. It turned my stomach. All I wanted to do was grab my cousin and drag her out of there. Problem being - I do think she married a great guy - I just wish they didn't believe such nonsense.

One would ask you to provide an example of when she has given Islam as "pass" for such things - but then, we know better then to expect a modicum of honesty from a trolling little zealot douche like yourself.

See thread title, and who started it. Game. Set. Match. Fathom the hypocrisy of a government that requires every citizen to prove they are insured... but not everyone must prove they are a citizen I'm just a red pill guy in a room full of blue pill addicts.
