Just because I'm sick and tired of all the Gay-bashing done by the "Religious Right"

Well, I wouldn’t say just a condom as condoms fail a lot of the time, but if you are making sure that no pregnancy will occur I suppose it’s no one’s place to say what two consenting people are allowed to do.

Well, dat dere be true enuff! :eek:
My two youngest are both “condom babies” :smiley:
Unplanned but exceedingly welcome.

As far as the incest… can we at least agree that the two parties must be adults with no history of sexual abuse as children?

So why does Exodus 35:2 almost duplicate my fave, Exodus 31:15?

I guess they wanted to make sure there was no misunderstanding? LOL

See…I think people who believe in Biblical law get taught:

THESE ARE THE RULES

And because they believe, erroneously, that the rules are sacred they(a) never question that the rules might actually be hurtful to other people, and (b) never think there might be a need for other rules. Like ones stopping the Believers in Biblical law from forcing Biblical law on those who don’t believe in the primacy of Biblical law.

For instance, the First amendment to the United States Constitution.
Because the Believers in Biblical law believe the sacred RULES are more important than that.

So they don’t see a contradiction in, say, being patriotic, and demanding Biblical Law be enacted, even though that’s not consistent with the U.S. Constitution.

Cherrypicking? you betcha.

Well said. Thank-you.
