[QUOTE]Originally posted by Omega: [QB] [i]so for the third time, why should people conform to your way of life when theirs, for all anyone knows, are just as right?[/i] And for at least the third time, my opinion was asked, and I've stated it. If you don't agree, fine, but please stop jumping down my throat for no other reason than that, GASP, I might just believe that something is WRONG and how DARE I believe in an objective moral framework, anyway?! [i]for certain narrow interpretations of the Bible. You don't think yours is the only valid one, do you?[/i] On this subject, yes. There's not much interpretation to be done. [i]if I'm following Omega's arguments, it'd be the same as someone born with a predisposition towards comitting crimes. It is something they are born with, but in the eyes of society/certain relgious groups, it's something that the person should try and change.[/i] Liam wins a cookie! Snickerdoodles okay? [i]I am one of the most devout Christians alive.[/i] w00t! We actually have another Christian on the boards! That makes, what, four of us? :) [i]I do not presume to speak for my God when I declare something right or wrong, especially given the many forms that He has taken across the world. I will let Him judge everyone based on what He thinks is right and wrong, not what men think is right and wrong.[/i] We're here for the same reason Christ came, so that they may have life and have it to the full. How can that be if we don't tell them how life is meant to be lived? Yes, God will eventually judge each person as only he is qualified to do, but that doesn't mean we can't make statements as to the moral value of certain actions, and in fact we must do so in many circumstances. [i]I keep forgetting that oral sex is illegal in some US states. I really would like to hear the reasoning behind that.[/i] The reasoning behind the laws was, I believe, to prevent gays from having sex. If you outlaw all forms of sex except those that require one person of each gender, then you've effectively outlawed homosexuality without actually outlawing it. It'd be like requiring a one-year waiting period before you can have an abortion. [/QB][/QUOTE]
