great response. i think catholicism is one of more confused ideaologies. no wonder you feel that way.Originally Posted by PixieDuzt
housewife - God doesn't turn off our humanity just because he calls us to something. he calls us to love one another - but he doesn't "disable" our natural tendency to hate our enemies.
same with sex, or any other desire.
Then ...God calls the wrong people.?
Doesn't God know better whom to call?
and if they devote their lives to God, without being distracted by taking care of their spouse.. then molesting young boys is not distracting them at all?
the more I get involved in this the more confusion I come up with.
he doesn't call the wrong people. might be wrong by our standards, but we can't see the other side of the tapestry.
some feel called but maybe aren't. others become priests for reasons other than a calling.
i don't think you can put a nice, neat package around pedophelia & understand why anyone would molest a boy.
QUESTION: Do you get together and exchange gifts on December 25TH
Do you spend money and time decorating your house/tree?
Did you say the Lords prayer at school?
Do you sing the national Anthem?
Do you give or get or participate in Easter Dinner?
Have you ever said or heard a loved one saying, "Thank God? or
Oh my god........"?
Do you say things like Holy Sh**, Holy Cra**.......
Did you ever give or accept a gift at Christmas time?
Did you ever go to a funeral where the priest/pastor talked about your loved one going to heaven or being at peace with God?
Do you ever notice that when you type Jesus. Christmas, that your spell check wants to change it to a capital.
if you answered yes to any of these questions then you have been brought up with religion...
Do you have people around you that pray for the troops in Iraq or otherwise. Do you watch the news? Did you ever stay at a hotel where there was a bible in the night table?
Just trying to give you perspective.....If you will take it. It is up to you. We all have free will....................
I am not so sure about religion, and there is slight prof of evolution and evidence of dinosours etc which contradicts religion, but I'm no scientist. But please consider the fact that God was supposed to have given us free will. Doesn't that mean we can do what we wish with our lives?
All I know is the idea of religion is totally confusing to me. And I think a phd in biology would be more appropriate in this topic than engeneering. If you dissagree with someone, leave the topic alone if you're not going to help them. You will not achieve anything if you flame or insult people because they don't agree with your religion. Don't get angry or upset because you think they insult God. God's word isn't fact, it is opinion. As far as I know, there isn't any evidence that he exists, and I've heard terrible rumours about his 'word' or rules.
In future, try and ignore posts that offend you, and only post if they are helpful to the sender. I've seen people posting who seem really hurt, and comments about religion are most likely not what they want to hear. Respect others, and others will respect you
And Isult, your post was greatdissapointing that it wasn't understood the way it should've been.
"And because gay men have anal sex, if a husband and a wife do that they are copying homosexual people.
so gay people copy normal people not the other way around, except for that anal sex, normal people copy an abnormal act of gay men"
I apologise, but that is highly offensive. You can't call straight people normal, that implies there is something wrong with homosexuals. There is no such thing as 'normal'.
Calling a straight person normal is homophobic remark. I am straight myself, but I don't see gay people of any lower status as I. I am disgusted that you could call anal sex abnormal, I am not interested in this act, but how can it be abnormal if so many people do it? Is it wrong for a man to enjoy this 'act'?
We have one life, we shoulf enjoy it, as life is a remarkable thing. Are you enjoying having started this 'debate'? What was the reason for creating this topic?
This forum is not about the relevance between religion and sex, it is about sharing what we know or have learnt ABOUT SEX and helping each other with this and their problems. Understand that alot of places in the world are becoming less religious, so there aren't going to be as many people who'd agree with 'God's Rules' as there used to.
Don't use childish remarks like that priest thing, that is a very nasty thing to say, especially to those who are religious. This makes you a hypocrit, and I thought you were supposed to treat others as you'd wish to be treated? Are you not angering God by getting angry with what he's created? I thought he was supposed to have created us with his love, and loved us all for who we were.
Please ignore the fact that others do things you think God may not like, I thought free will was given to us because God allowed us the freedom to do whatever we want, mainly because Adam & Eve wanted to be intelligent like God (I don't remember that story well).
There is nothing wrong with gay people. There is nothing wrong with anal sex. There is nothing wrong with disagreeing with a religious view, it is an opinion, and we all have that right.
You have the right to believe whatever you want, but respect the fact that not everyone will think you're right. I accept your belief, and I wont start saying you're wrong, but I'm not going to call you right.
Sex is not about what's right and wrong. It's the bond between two people, usually emotional if the two really love each other. Isn't that what sex is supposed to be about? Trusting the person you love? Sharing your body? Why should God interfeer with your feelings or what you want?
(I know people are different and this isn't the same with everyone, it's more of an example)
I'm sorry, I started rambling... happens alot when I'm tired
