Well,ahem..................Jesus said that "whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart"

So..........yes.

I have been guilty MANY times !! it is my major weakness :eek:


Well Nelson, I am such a weak man...I do lust after...well almost everything that seems to be female...and since that constitutes adultery...that seems to give me license since I do it so often. I think Tim's reference to Chemistry (sic, I think biology is more correct in my case...biology is a soft science, chemistry is a hard science:elefant: :elefant: :elefant: :elefant: :elefant: :elefant: :D ) is a very important point...

You have a doctorate in coprophilia, ya sick bastage.....

D

Okay, you all CRACK ME UP!!! I don't know how to quote a quote within a quote but I am wondering whether one meant to say one has a doctorate in eschatology, meaning a study of the end of things (from the Greek eschatos means “last thingâ€￾), or am I taking all of this too seriously??? Of course, scatatology can be very fascinating. As for coprophilia, have any of you seen Woody Allen's Crimes and Misdemeanors? It's possibly my favorite WA film and contains a great (possibly disturbing) reference to this practice.

I won't even use the word eschatology around here for fear of pissing someone off. The impression of the monosyllabic members is that I use 60cent words to make some of them feel inferior..... (fkn horseshit... I only do that as an occasional treat ... besides, that's the way I usually speak).

The study of what happens after one has left the body has extremely few experts, but tons and tons of opinions..... I just hope something comes after.... I have some family back home on the other side...

With respect to scatology, I was just speaking the language of the Sickness... (Mikey)... Scatology (the word) has been colloquialized to the point where it's original meaning has become all but lost..... Nowadays it's come 180degrees (reversed) to the point where one uses it to tell someone that they actually DON'T know SHIT.

When I mentioned coprophilia, it was simply trying to "out gross" Mikey..... sick bastage that he is...

The idea of involving any manner of fecundity with sex is a just bit of a turn off for me..... and yes... Woody Allen is a funny (albeit sick) sunovabitch.

With respect to a quote in a quote or multiple quotes: I always type in my response, then right click and cut it all out....then go to the next quoted phrase and paste both the previous quote and my reply into the next box. You can do that 'til Jesus comes.... Which could be a helluva long time..... or not.... ;)

A philosphical question............:

Is thinking about something sinfully lustful really equal to actually doing it....?

For the TRUE answer, ask your wife............... :D ;)

D

Maybe that depends upon whether the thinking includes the wife :). So, what did your wife say? No, I am just kidding. It's none of my business. In my opinion (the perspective of only one who is a wife) thinking something is in no way equivalent to doing it. And, not to raise the ire of other women and wives everywhere, I daresay women's thoughts are not all that diffent from those of men. Maybe I'm wrong. It would neither be the first time, nor the last.

Yer right, some women would simply like to be included....... :eek:

Dream on, Roy........ ;) :argh:

Oh, shite (no pun intended). I happen to be rather fond of etymology. I hope that doesn't cause me enemies here. As for fecundity with sex (or otherwise) it's more than a bit of a turn off! Nevertheless, do you remember the scene from the movie?

Spent all day yesterday at a car show, with nothing to "show" for it...must have been rigged:mad:

Isn't it strange how The Sickness effects all of us?

Isn't it strange, interesting, and to be honest...educational?

Thanks for your impact Mikey...you are conspicuous even in your absence.

Oops, looks like I included an extra "ta;" that should read scatology. I know I used the edit feature to fix something once before but now I can't seem to figure out how.

Does this mean no new car? I feel for you! Even so, the car show had to have been more fun than cleaning house and nursing a nasty sinus and chest infection and laryngitis. I didn't let it keep my from the track Fri. night, or the fair and a good friend's bachelorette party but by yesterday all this had taken its toll. Ugh.

Jesus might be coming, but apparently Joseph never did. Right?:D

Nice joke :). On a more serious note though, I think whether Jesus had biological siblings is an interesting issue and its a hotly contested one between and within some faiths. Some people find it necessary to hold that Mary was always a virgin. I see no reason why that would have to be true or why Mary subsequently having intercourse and other children would dimish the immaculate conception and virgin birth. The Bible does indicate that Jesus at least had brothers, still some choose to read this as only meaning "brother" in the sense that the disciples were his bretheren.
 
spritual awakenings

life is short and mundane when oppressed by fear stress anxeity and the out side stuff. having a higher power is inside stuff. faith is good. thers no such thing as an atheist in a riptide. anyways 3rd gear atfull throttle is quite the spritual awakening:) :) . thank god for everything. :congrats:

The edit option fades away with time...then your words are etched in the ether for ever...

that is what really worries us about the The Sickness...just imagine some poor researcher going back to capture our culture and happening on his outbursts...I shudder to think about that!

Worse still, he is hailed as the harbinger of "The New Society".:p

It's just one more example of how things get skewed in books like the Bible to suit a particular belief, IMHO. Always more about the interpretation than the substance.
 
Let's all please remember that the "Skeptics" thread is the place for disagreement.... Not here.

If someone has a need to ask sincere questions such as those Rapunzel, I would deeply appreciate it if the answers were directed to the specific point... Not railroaded into nonexistence....

However, if the atheistic or agnostic members have something that is uplifting, encouraging or altruistic or in some way noble to share, then by all means, share it.....

Namaste'

Hey Kiddo,

There is a reference in the book of Acts that states that James was the brother of Jesus.... Please note that it is not James of "James and John" the sons of Zebedee...aka Sons of Thunder... But it is James who wrote the Book of James....

Please also note that the although word "brother" is commonly used with reference to those who are cousins as well, most Bible scholars agree that James actually was (in deference to Eric) Jesus' half brother....

that is what I would say;)

also, with regards to my faith in one true God. If I reach the end of my life and there is no heaven/hell/God/Jesus...I will die knowing that I treated all people with the utmost respect, helped a brother(person) out when I could, tried to be the best husband and father, try to live my life to a higher standard, and remain as humble as possible...helps me sleep at night and on my death bed will allow me to go out with a smile and fulfillment...
But I still belive Jesus rocks:rock:
