One can find the worst excesses of any particular movement and turn that into an argument about why said movement should be banned. Or one could be intellectually honest and realise that the extremist outliers are not representative of that movement as a whole.

Thats not entirely true, as the age of sexual consent in England and Wales for heterosexuals has never been higher than 16, and all male homosexual acts were illegal in the 1950s - whereas this article seems to conflate the age of majority (21) with the age of consent (16). Turing was not...

I just watched a documentary about the religious police in Saudi Arabia, and aCW came to mind. Perhaps you’d like to see these religious police, or “virtue enforcement officers” here in the west, oh uncultured one?

You can call me your friend all day long, until the cows come home and your face turns blue. It still won't make it so, as you can rest assured that feeling is not, and never has been mutual. I frankly couldn't give a rip about that particular person's personal life. It's quite disturbing that...

It depends on one's definition of 'theocracy'. Most would consider it the enforcing of the laws of one particular religion upon the rest of society. Something which I wholeheartedly disagree with. I'll give it some time if I can be bothered.

It's quite entertaining watching aCW's narcissism, even as a lurker. :chuckle:

”Good friend”? When did this happen? :rotfl:

I was, was I? I was speaking from a Christian perspective in regards to the church. Unlike you, I’ve never wanted to see a theocracy.

You have mentioned it, ad nauseam. All the while deflecting, denying, being dishonest, or totally ignoring anything I say to challenge you on your own appalling behaviour. :rolleyes:

The bigger question, oh uncultured one, is why you go out of your way to accuse him of having such desires in the first place? His denial is only in response to your false allegations. Exodus 20:16: Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.

Integral part of this thread? I’ve spent most of my time here calling you out for your arrogance and dishonesty. I’m surprised you respect me after that. Sadly, those feelings of respect don’t go both ways. It seems you managed to find it without my help. Poor education and low access to...

You'll find a wide variety of thought and opinion around here. Though some people are certainly nicer than others.

Which still does not answer my question. You claimed I am somehow threatened by the truth, yet haven’t told me what truth it is that I am supposedly threatened by. I already have refuted your claim that HIV is not a problem in Africa, but you weren’t interested in an honest discussion on the...

You still haven’t answered my question. What truth am I supposedly threatened by?

Physician heal thyself.. :rolleyes: I think the causes of homosexual desires differ, so what may have caused it for one won’t necessarily be what caused it for another person. Most people I’ve ever met who have made a decision to reject their homosexual desires still struggle with them. I’ve...

There’s a difference between lying and being mistaken. It’s not like my previous posts happened recently. Hence I’m sure AB was simply mistaken. Good for her. I have always strived to be honest. I do, however, question why you are so obsessed with having so many threads on this one subject?

I heard my name mentioned and thought I'd drop by. Is this thread STILL going on? How much more is there to say on the subject? :noway:

It's finally happening! After years of saying that I would come and visit the USA, this June I will be crossing the pond in a flying tin can to land in Chicago. I'll be staying with a friend there for two weeks and look forward to experiencing this great country of yours first hand. I was just...

Hello everyone! I know I haven't been around much recently, but I really wanted to share this post. As many of you know, back in September I started a philosophy degree at university. Unfortunately due to where I live and the cost implications of moving, my choice of university was limited to my...

Yesterday it was announced that the British Government order a Royal Air Force UAV drone to strike a target in Syria which killed three members of ISIS. However, it seems that not everyone is happy and a human rights group is now questioning the legality of the attack. In addition to this, the...
