It's nice to be off of work one day and actually have access to a fast computer! Anyhoo, I have a particular interest in this topic because I, too, am a devout Christian. I don't push my beliefs on anyone, or carry signs or slap you if I think you're not a Christian. But just as homosexuals (since that seems to be the topic that's sparked all of this) FEEL that something inside them makes them better for being drawn to people of their own gender, I FEEL that the Bible is all that is necessary to guide my fundamental beliefs. Yes, there have been other books and people and friends and events that have had a profound influence on my own knowledge and they have all opened my eyes to things that, had I only studied the Bible, would have surprised the heck out of me. My point is, let's have a topic that can be argued logically and scientifically, and I'll argue it that way. I am not incapable of having a discussion about something that requires factual, rock-hard evidence and knowledge in order to be argued. Homosexuality is not one of those topics. I am heterosexual because I love females (beg pardon), God made me a male, and I'm going to have children thanks to my female partner. When arguments arise that have to do with what you believe, if your faith is the most steadfast argument you have going for you, that's your weapon. Until a scientist can tell me, with absolute certainty, that the world started with an explosion and I am really the decendant of a monkey, I'll take God's word for what I believe and FEEL to be true. I've been happy ever since I made the decision to do so.Statistics: Posted by Jack Malone — Tue Jun 22, 2004 2:06 pm
