I wish the OP was set to music. I feel like it could really be a great jam or maybe an angry Rage against the Machine sorta anthem. Or perhaps a folky rock song? Or an old school Rap song done by like Snoop Dogg… They just do it on the Side (Do it on the Side? Do it on the side!) They just do it on the Side! Do it on the side? (Wut wut?) HOMOSEX! :insert record scratches: Homo-Homo-Homosex on the Sly! :insert Linkin park Screaming vocals here: “ALL CHRIIIIISTIANS HAVE HOOOOOOMO-SEX ON THE SLYYYYYYY!” ---

Verily, it is as St. Paul said: “it is better to homosex than to burn.” Or something like that. ---

> [@Indistinguishable](#): > > [You… you don’t know what words mean, do you?](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aa2umu1vILI) OK, you’re now my favorite Doper, ever. EVER. Sorry, all the gun people, etc, you’ve been replaced. Indistinguishable is now my number one most favorite Doper of all time. I can’t believe you actually referenced the “Edmund Premington” skit from Mr. Show in a thread here. That’s my all time favorite comedy sketch of any kind, on any show, bar none. Again I’m amazed that someone else not only knows about it, but would actually link to it here. Bravo, bravo, bravo. ETA - I’ve recited this skit (the Odenkirk part, anyway) verbatim, at gatherings - it always gets mega-laughs. ---

Actually, my partner and I have tried “doing it on the side,” and found it to be rather uncomfortable. Top and bottom work better. But we’re not Christians; maybe they have a different center of gravity. ---

To humor the OP, there are many denominations of Christianity, many for which HOMOSEX is not allowed, but also a few for which it is allowed. For the ones in which it isn’t allowed, it’s still considered a sin if it’s “on the side” although in some cultures/time periods this is considered normal and people will look the other way if it’s not brought to their attention. ---

This question is inappropriate for General Questions, and as stated is unsuitable for Great Debates, or as far as I can see any other forum here as well. If the OP wishes to frame a debate on this question, he is welcome to open another thread in GD. I would, however, also remind him of the rules against trolling on this message board.
