Isn't this more a matter of putting the foot in the other shoe?

Isn't this more a matter of putting the foot in the other shoe?

It is like the urge I have experienced a few times to kill or hurt another person who desperately deserved it, but I chose not to do it since it was wrong. I have experienced the urge to have sex with a woman other than my wife just a few times, but I chose not to do it, as tempting as it was, because it was wrong. We all have to make our choices & decide what is right or wrong. I am glad I don't carry that burden. Few who give in to that lifestyle have truely happy, long-term satisfying relationships, and many die young, fight depression or use alcohol& drugs. God made Adam & Eve, not Adam & Steve.

Barry, I know only two pairs, and both have been together since before I met them, years ago. You don't often hear about the planes that land safely, but you sure hear about those that crash.

With all due respect sir, your post below belies a significant ignorance on the matter. Please do not take this as an insult; a person can not be faulted for their lack of knowledge and exposure to a particular subject. What they CAN be faulted for, however, is willful ignorance.

If you made an effort to learn about from homosexuality from homosexuals, you'd come to understand that homosexuality is not a "choice" that one "gives in to." Rather, it is a result of both environmental AND/OR genetic factors (this is not opinion; this is established, accepted, scientific fact), rather than conscious decision to "be like that."

I would encourage you to educate yourself a bit more about homosexuality from sources OUTSIDE your apparent religious convictions. To make a more appropriate analogy: Would YOU believe a book about Studebaker automobiles was credible if said book was written by an import tuner who's only knowledge of our cars was what his fellow ricers told him? Or, what would you think if you heard some 17-year-old ricer told you "old cars" are all weak, slow, and unreliable?

That said, this is a forum for the discussion of our Studebaker cars and trucks, not for discussion of theo-socio-political topics. Given people's volatility with such subjects, I heartily disapprove of posts like Mr. Black's; I feel they are in very poor form, and should be saved for another forum where such discussion is appropriate.

I believe you missed my point. I do not claim to be an expert on the subject of homosexuality or what causes it, but one thing I am certain of is that while people have no control over what they may think of doing, we are all able to choose to act upon those urges. I know self-professed alcoholics who have not touched a drink in decades, because they choose not to. The overwhelming majority of Catholic priests & nuns deny their physical urges for a lifetime. Though I admire their devotion, it is not something I would do. I am glad I do not have to carry either burden and do not oppose those who have different temptations than I have. Live and die as you please and I do not care-it is between you & your Maker. Just don't tell me that you have no choice about it. Too many people control their desires for you to say that.

Your ANAL-ogy is a bit flawed. I agree that the best info on anything is that published by it maker, and that goes for people also! If you use your car or your body for a purpose other than that intended by the maker, you are going to have problems!

PS- you DO know what "OT" means, don't you?

suggest you re-read your comments about "ricers". Seems in some circles it's a disparaging racial term. LOL

I disapprove of your use of the negative connotation 'Ricer'. It is a 'Tuner' car. Jeff (People should respect the word rice...sheesh..) Rice

I disapprove of the negative term 'beat'. Those who must discipline their wives have enough to deal with as it is.

What do you say to a woman with 2 black eyes? Nothing, you already told her twice.
