SIGH.

[QUOTE="JabbaDaHutt30"][QUOTE="sAndroid17"]what are you talking about, Pitbulls are extremely aggressive:| but it all depends on the way they are brought up, i have a Doberman, so i know about "aggressive" dogs, no doubt your pitbull is loyal and trustworthy around you and your family. try putting a random dog and or person in your backyward with it see what happens. not saying anything necessarily will, but you never know. it could completely randomly maul a child. as could anything really on this planet. they are bred to fight, they have aggression! and i agree, they are an awesome dog. that needs to be respectedsAndroid17

Because they are the number 1 culprit for dog attacks against children and infants?

Yeah, bloody great breed of dog you have there. They're abhorrent creations of artificial selection bred to fight. Their genes should be eradicated from the face of the earth.

I doubt that the average pitbull is prone to attack random strangers when they're in sight.

First of all, if God is indeed God does he need to give a reason?

Second of all, I'm a firm believer that the family is an image of the nature of God. In Genesis 2:24 says the man and the woman "will become one flesh" through marriage. They are two persons but are to be considered the same being. The same things in many ways could be argued about the children being included as that verse also implies. In just the same way, God is multiple persons within the same being: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. If this is true, then changing the relationship roles within genders and marriage is an attack at the very nature of God!

Um...that's a BIG ****ing non-sequitur. How do you go from "they are two persons but are considered to be the same being to saying "and if a dude ****s another dude, they are attacking GOD!"?

Third reason, God created the natural order to be a certain way and homosexuality is against that natural order. One can argue homosexuals are by nature homosexual. This argument may very well be true but I also have a sinful nature. This sinful nature is not an excuse for me to practice those behaviors however.

I suppose that was longer than a summary... but this includes some of my overarching reasons for why God dislikes homosexuality.

Ah, I see. Back to the "boys have a penis and girls have a vagina so two dudes is evil" argument. You STILL haven't explained WHAT makes homosexuality a SIN. Many agree that homosexuality IS indeed "natural". But even if we are to assume that it is NOT natural, is THAT the standard by which you determine what God intends and what God doesn't intend? If what's "unnatural" is a sin, then once again say goodbye to your condoms and your leather jackets.

Oh, but I forgot. It's alright for a man and a woman to whip out a condom and have sex for kicks, but god forbid that we let two gay women marry each other and then adopt a child to raise in a loving household. :roll:

Yeah, the same old homophobia that we've all seen numerous times. Somehow it's supposed to be better when it's GOD who's homophobic?

If anything, that just tells me that I shouldn't be worshipping that god.

First of all, I do not claim homosexual practices to be any more than another sin like premarital sex. I do not support either.

Second of all, why does God have to explain himself in the first place? Should I also not follow God because I wish he had given me a different color of eyes? Should I not follow God simply because I do not like something about the way he "runs the show"? Does my approval stop him from being God?

I do not follow God because he is what I want him to be, I follow him because he is God.

Mine is love and hate.

I really love it when it's done beautifully well. Shadow Hearts is main example, Shadow of Colossus, and Final Fantasy X is another. (although FFX is not really subplot but main plot)

But when it's done bad, like Knights of the Old Republic, Star Wars Forced Unleashed, etc. I feel like choking someone.
