[B]What do my testicals have to do with anything? Why is it, everytime I speak of god, somebody mentions my testicals?

They're not bad testicals, it's just that they cannot be compared to God or used to defend the position of Christianity.

Anyway, you should see that this isn't the thread to be defending one's faith, and besides you have already made your statement against Christianity, so debating and bringing such things into this thread would be off topic and be of no productivity. [/BYou seem to consistently zero in on some random phrase in a comment and reply to that, rather than the substance.

Perhaps the reason "testicles" come up in conversations with you is that your deficiencies in that department show up a little too prominently. You make statements similar to "there is no gay gene!" or "True Christians don't tolerate homosexuality!", and then rather than supporting them or even considering the implications, you retreat behind the flimsy defense of your bible.

However, the main point of my comment was your claim that you were simply watching and waiting for the other christians here to denounce or defend what I said, and I got the distinct impression that you were going to judge them by how they reacted. Given your silence and timidity on these very same issues, how can you do that?


BH: Edited for content. Keep the personal insults OUT.

Now that wasn't nice.

Neither me nor my testicles will pass judgement on anybody!!

Besides how can you pass judgement on my genitalia?

Thats a cop out to say that definciencies in that department reflect my true endowment.

Badfish

Well, you learn to become wedded to the dogma of a dead book.

God forbid, you become spiritually enlightened.

Let's try this again. Focus. [...]
Read this next paragraph, and try to reply to it, if you can:

Badfish

I can't judge anybody, all Christians know that.

Even if I could pass judgement or my judgement were possible or taken seriously what ramifications would it have? Who would care?

Besides I don't judge people, I can only gauge them based upon the fruit they bear, and how that fruit would benefit or detract from my walk with Christ.

I think he was being 'metaphorical' i.e. he was implying you lack courage, when he mentioned 'deficiencies'.

I might be wrong.

You are quite wrong. One of the defining characteristics of True Christians that I've noticed is that they are extremely judgemental.

You yourself have said, "Christianity has it's form of defining morality", "The path to heaven is narrow", and that "anyone who confessed or touted these kinds of lifestyles [homosexuality] would be classified as non Christians". That sounds pretty judgemental to me.

Yes.

So, you are back on now Lasher? Good to hear it.

…and since we've been capping on the forum publically, I suppose it's only fair to say publically that I think Bear showed some class on that one.
