My dad and I were pretty close. Many times in my youth I did things I should not have done and I esentially went against Dad's wishes. There were opportunities to right some wrongs and there were punishments. I was fortunate to have been raised by such a man. No doubt that he loved me.
If I had COMMITTED (go back and read page 1) to defying rules Dad placed upon me, for the rest of my life, he would have cut me out of the will. Our relationship would have not been the same. There's no way I would have ever known him for what he truly was.
At 17 I thought Dad was the dumbest man on earth. But by the time I turned 21, he had amazingly almost become a genius. It is amazing how he smartened up in those four years. Thank goodness I survived to see it and that he and I had many great years together before I lost him in '93.

I'm going to look at this subject in a different manner, other than a religious one.
If being gay is an "abnormality", as most gays profess. Why are we not trying to find a cure for it, like other abnormalities? |
So is being left handed,we are not searching for cure for that are we?? |
Not yet, but when they (lefties) start wearing rainbow diapers and suckin soothers in annual parades, we just might.
And who am I to judge what you do in the privacy of your bedroom, with your left hand?

So what is the new Republicanism answer? |
Buy them a modest home in Canada. Get the out of here and out of our communities. How's that sound? Just not having to work, shop, or sit at a ball game with the sickoes would be worth it. Can we send the child molestors too? They simply have a thing for children, instead of same sex. You should be tolerant of them as well.
Now it is time to get back to reading the outlandish liberal rhetoric. You want to be able to commit and page 1 is all about commitment. Then you get off in blasting those of faith. We have all sinned. Here's the difference, we are not committing to sin over and over for the rest of our lives.
Mrs Greg, We'll let you have Pamela back if you promise to keep Rosy.  |
Ummm,no thx!!!
I don't think it got into a blast of faith,its just that Faith gets poured into things anytime someone wants to justify intolerance. I'm a Christian,but I try very hard not to judge people that are different then I am,like Shortgrass said God challenges our comfort zone at times.I'm not perfect,I've sinned and I've judged people but I struggle very hard to be open to anything and everybody.As you've seen I've failed in the Rosy-Pamela department. 
I also believe most of you guys that "act" intolerant truly have more compassion then you let on. |
It wasn't me casting any stones. In fact, I pretty much stayed the heck out of this one, aside from the fact that you have to laugh at those arguing the right to commit to sin, and be continuously forgiven.
I am not perfect either but I have been married for 28 years so all that hoopla about no commitment doesn't hold water in my life.
If someone wants to tolerate pediphiles and gays, more power to them. I don't want to associate with either, have either live in my neighborhood, or be told that I have to accept them in the work place. That's just how it is. I don't cram my life onto them and I don't want theirs crammed onto mine. Put a gay on television and I will pick up the remote. |
One more time the gays do not prey on little children. I'll type it real slow so maybe some of you will finally get it.
Guess you are missing some good shows I happen to love Brothers and Sisters and Grey's Anatomy. |
You must have typed to slow.
If you want to classify perverts into different categories, go ahead. I don't care. I don't want to associate with any of them.
You go right on ahead and enjoy those shows too. I've never seen either and know nothing about them. They could all be straight for all I know. But since you have already laid claim to enjoying that sort of thing, and enlightened me, I know not to watch. |
Truely you have no idea do you? If you don't want to hang out with perverts may I suggest you ask your neighbors what they are doing after hours in their homes. Many here act as if only certain groups take part in perverse behavior when who for sure knows what goes on in any body else's homes?
You can go right ahead and spit your spew about indivdual human beings that you don't know and just base your opinion on by the person they chose to love and have sexual relations with. As for me I'm gonna continue to get to know people and not let my opinion of what goes on in the privacy of their own bedrooms effect my opinions of them anymore then it would any of my neighbors. I no more care what who sticks where in homosexual individuals then I wanna know or care where my neighbors are sticking their man parts.

Nono, "PS show me where in the bible, God says it is a sin.......Not some writer saying it,Show me where God writes it.....Cause if guys like you Aplus, who claim to be decent folk,were the same guys writing bible veruses back then,I question every word....If thier minds were as closed as yours and we have to take thier word for things,then who knows what is truely being written as fact......."
So your modus operandi is to question what you don't agree with because it had to of been written by somebody with a closed mind, but then you go along with what you do agree with? I'd say that is very dangerous theology, to say the least.
Do you let your kids pick and choose which of your rules they will follow? Maybe they think that not being able to stay up to 2AM on school nights, keeping their room clean, doing their chores, etc... is the thinking of a closed mind. |
Lets just say The rules I make are told by me and inforced by me.....I do not get my nieghbor to write down my words and present them as rules .....You seem to believe in God because other writers tell too.....I believe in God because of things never writen in the bible.....Like miricles that happen in front of my eyes...The feeling of unconditional love...sunsets and sunrises....the way a human can heal its self...how laughter makes me feel good.....maybe you should stop one day and thank God for the real gifts given to you,the true gifts that no body needs to write and tell you they came from God,you can just see and feel them...
What is it I agree with?...
