We can now terminate this blog and the website freeing up the address for worthier causes. Perhaps online literacy lessons?

You have tried very hard to attack every words and comments that was written here. Please refer to your Bible(Old Testament)Book of Numbers, chapter 23, verses 1 to 9. God was very angry with the Israelite because they committed sexual sin with the local population. 24,000 people were killed because of this sin. The city of Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed by God because of sexual sin. The male population(gay) wanted to have sex with the Angels who were at Lot’s house at that time. Lot offer to give his daughters to them but they refused. what happen today is that we have a lot of men having sexual relationship with other men. God anger shall befall upon them and they shall be infected with all kind of deceases which nobody can cure(the same with the Lesbian). Joshua, how can you put your penis into a male ass hole full of shit, bacteria, fungus and virus. The name Joshua was the man who took over from Moses who lead the Israelite to the promise land. Like what Joshua said the words of the Bible is a fraud and there is no truth and prove to it. Joshua, why don’t you ask the Israel people themselves whether they exist or not or otherwise you will call them a liar. The Bible also tell the history of these people and you call them a liar? Even Satan believe the words of God in the Bible but you do not. You must be worst than Satan himself. To all of you who do not believe in God, think about it before making any drastic comments. Thank you. May God bless us all and have a beautiful day.

1. I have read the bible and it is interesting to me, but not in the way that you want it to be. To me the bible is similar to Greek mythology or other ancient literature. But we don’t accept it as anything more. We don’t have any good reason to accept that it is a good source of morality, history or anything else because we do not believe that the god it is supposed to represent actually exists. So all these claims that you are making about this god don’t mean anything to us because we do not believe he exists.

2. Most of us don’t think that belief is a matter of choice. You either believe because you have enough evidence or you don’t. Most of us (me certainly) don’t say “god does not exist” because that would require specific knowledge that indicates that god does not exist. Instead we say “we do not believe god exists” because we have found that arguments and evidence for god unconvincing.

3. I also do not think that many of us will accept that we are interpreting or understanding the bible wrong without an explanation about why. Too someone who does not believe in god, claims that we need a sort of supernatural “secret decoder ring” to properly understand written words with a historical context and hundreds of years of scholarship and analysis seems kind of silly. If you believe that we are not interpreting things correctly you will have to tell us why.

4. I too am from Texas. :)

Because people act on their beliefs, in the ballot box if nowhere else. Because such people prevent them from marrying, adopting, and other areas where they don’t get equal treatment. Because such people spread lies about homosexuality and health either deliberately or because they are too lazy to look to information. Because such people and their leaders have made grandiose statements about how homosexuals are some kind of threat to marriage and families, without ever showing why. I am sure that I have missed a lot of other examples.

Ben wrote,
“We have pedophiles, murderers and terrorist. Should we sit back and accept these acts as well? What a stupid argument.
If you want to practice homosexuality have at it. Why must I approve? If a homosexual does not want my opinion don’t ask. Why do you care? Oh, wait it is because you want my vote. Sorry I stay out of others bedrooms.
Now I see.”

1. I think that it is obvious that Rostam thinks it is immoral. It should be obvious to you that homozexuals should not be in the same category as pedophiles, murderers, and terrorists. He chose those things for a reason, and since P, M, and T have violence, pain, and death as shared characteristics, it looks like a category and it is not unfair to infer that he is putting homozexuals into that category.

Without telling us what his problem with homozexuality is, we are left with this category placement. P, M, and T are commonly thought of as immoral and it is silly to oppose things of this nature that are not immoral. Hence our claim that he thinks homozexuality is immoral. He would not be doing any of this if he thought differently.

2.His second statement contradicts his first statement. “If you want to practice homosexuality have at it.”, “Sorry I stay out of others bedrooms.” Is not compatible with “Should we sit back and accept these acts as well?”.

Since I think that it is more likely that he would type things more important to him first, I think that it is more likely that he really thinks that homosexuals belong in the same category as the others.

If we are wrong you need to say why. Just claiming some of us are liars without showing why does nothing.

(Why does the spam filter keep refusing my comments unless I deliberately mispell some things???)

Just because you don’t like what I have to say does not mean you should be allowed to pretend that I said nothing. Just like everyone else, if you do not attach a “why” to your “what” statements all you are doing is asserting something without evidence. If we are truly “on the run” it should be easy for you to say why.

“I despise having to page threw long rambling post by those attempting to write their dissertation.”

Ahhhh… The root of the problem. No desire to actually read anything of substance. Intellectual laziness. You balk at reading a page at most? Now I can reject the bible if Ben ever wants to use it because it’s just too long to bother with.

“Why don’t you prove his/their points wrong rather than whining. That could be more constructive.”

You don’t even care if we try to “prove” anything. Just above you said that you did not want to read anything we put up. Sorry but a lot of things that are worth writing about need some length to be covered well.

Seriously, you will look like a coward if you don’t address this. You want us to “prove” something but won’t read it.
