I'm not sure either, but he thinks you are mentally ill.

I never debate religion and I've never post on the religion board (I've only looked at it once or twice)
In my opinion it's pointless to debate with someone who holds a position without evidence or in contrary to evidence.
Besides, my personal belief is anyone who holds a fundamentalist belief in any religion is mentally ill (for real) which again makes for a pointless discussion
Wow, Straw Man, you have come a long way since then. You never debate religion? You never post on the religion board? You are all over the religion board now, and you even bring your religious discussions now into the politics board. That's cool. What made you change?
Do you still think that I am "mentally ill (for real)", or has your opinion on this changed too? If you still think so, that's cool. I am "loco" after all. But I just wonder why you continue to ask mentally ill me religious questions on here and why you seek the opinion of a mentally ill person. That's insane, isn't it?
By they way, once again, I did not agree with your "joke" of an idea, "A constitutional amendment outlawing DIVORCE". What I did agree with you on is, as I said, that those Christians who put so much time and energy into opposing same sex marriage, should put just as much, if not more time and energy into getting divorce banned within their churches. Or they should at least show more opposition to Christian ministers marrying couples who have been divorced, since Biblically that is a sin.
I still have not read up on this Dobson guy, but you keep posting the same Dobson quote over and over again. Do I have to read a whole lot about him or is this the only thing he said that bothers you? If so, I'll go ahead and tell you that my father never did nor did he want to show me or show any of my brothers his genitals and we are glad that he didn't, and all my brothers and I turned out heterosexual anyway. I do not have kids, but if I ever do have kids, I do not plan on showing them my genitals either.
I am not a doctor and I have really not paid much attention to this, but I do not know if a person's desire for the same gender can be cured. Maybe it can for some people if that's what they really want. I mean, if a man can gradually go from being attracted to women to being attracted to men, I suppose it is possible for a man to gradually go from being attracted to men to being attracted to women.
Going by the Bible, attraction to the same gender in itself is not a sin, but the act of having sex with the same gender is a sin. So a heterosexual man who has sex with another man commits the sin of homosexuality even though he himself is heterosexual. On the other hand, a man who is attracted to men yet never has sex with another man has not committed the sin of homosexuality even though he is attracted to men. Likewise, I am attracted to women, but I am not an adulterer or a fornicator until I actually have sex with a woman who is not my wife.
