obi Posted February 1, 2003 Share Posted February 1, 2003 @NerfYoda Perhaps I should rephrase what I said earlier. "Resisting temptation will make you stronger" Changed to "Resisting temptation will make you a stronger christian" The Bible says that if you look at a woman to lust after her, then you are an adulterer at heart. When I talk to a female, I try to keep my eyes on her eyes, and not let the wander off If you do practice the Bible, good for you. If not, I wish you did, but more power to you anyway.

Reborn Outcast Posted February 1, 2003 Share Posted February 1, 2003 Originally posted by NerfYoda Adam Smith said that society as a whole benifits when it's members are trying solely to benifit themselves. He said this in an economic context, but it's easily adaptible to social situations. I disagree because take a look at Enron... the owners were trying solely to benefit themselves and look what it did to the economy. Enron is what started the downslide of the US economy. I believe that Adam Smith was right in some cases, but very wrong in others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greedo626 Posted February 2, 2003 Share Posted February 2, 2003 I don't think people should have sex before marriage because it might lead to a child. then if you descide you don't really like the person you're sleeping with, there's another single parent out there and another child without a steady mother or father. But you should really get to know the person you're going to marry and not jump into it too soon. and don't get married just to have sex:p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zERoCooL2479 Posted February 6, 2003 Share Posted February 6, 2003 I see nothing wrong with sex before marriage. If two people love eachother, sex is an additional and greater way of showing those feelings. There are contraceptives available to prevent any "accidents." Use your head people if you're going to enguage in sexual acts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
munik Posted February 7, 2003 Share Posted February 7, 2003 Nothing wrong with a little scrogging. Quick comparision: A person who denies their hunger and refuses to eat because they believe they are fat, when in fact they are under wieght, is said to have anorexia nervosa. They believe one thing, which to them, and others with the same affliction, appears true, while everyone else who sees them knows this belief to be false. A person who denies their libido and refuses to have sex until they are married, because they believe this will defile their bodies, is said to be a christian. They believe one thing, which to them, and others with the same affliction, appears true, while everyone else who sees them knows this belief to be false. What STD's are there that will really ruin your day? HIV has a great chance to screw you up, and it's hard to stop it once you got it, but what else? Genital warts, HPV, has a chance to damage the female reproductive system. That's about all I can think of. Everything else is treatable. Now, granted, if left untreated they can cause irreperable harm or death, but so won't any serious wound that's left untreated. If you get the drippy dick or the inferno piss and don't see a doctor for some penicillin, that's your own fault. Am I the only one who noticed this? Originally posted by Luc Solar Take this for example: "When a king sins only the best sacrifice will do -- he must offer a male goat to God. But if a commoner sins, a female will do" Dude, the passage refers to a FEMALE GOAT! It's all in context, you are the one who assumed that the word "female" meant "female human", when clearly it refered to a goat. You went on for a few paragraphs about this woman thing. I'd like to say that it's similiar to a Freudian slip, but it's more likely you seeing what you wanted to see. Oh, and finally, the only people who use the bible in a discussion that doesn't directly relate to the bible are zealots and children. Children taught by zealots. So please, leave the bible out of it, having to argue against "Cause it's in the Bible!" makes any discussion lose it's appeal. Maybe we'd like to see what you think, not what the bible thinks. Jesus doesn't post to this board, so nobody cares what he would do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
