I say Richie and StG should have a jousting match. C'mon, a joust to the death!

Richie,

'the negative of the flesh'
Flesh isn't negative, it's great! God made it too, so it must be good.

'I hope I have been of some help'
Yeah good luck wit that! I think you will be sadly disappointed.

Dear Sig,
Jesus is the word of God according to the Bible . As a child did you understand all the laws governing the universe. I would think not. I find it very amusing to see people reject the bible because of lack of understanding. Paul an author of most of the N.T. was a killer when he met Jesus on the road to Damascus and he had to go through a total mind change to learn the truth. I am so glad you did it without any study. Jesus preached the KINGDOM of GOD as opposed to religious ideas and one of his teachings was that sinners don't inherit the Kingdom, they stay on their side of the fence in the kingdom of the world "the devils domain". If you want to understand the workings of a particular car it is much easier to follow the makers instruction manual, and the first lesson takes about 10 years of a childs life. Then he is qualified to commence the next part of his education on the motor car. How long have you studied the bible to arive at the place of rejection or is it because you want to keep your ways. I sugest you read my post again. God loves all but hates sin. He loves the person but hates the sin because he knows the fate reserved for the devil and all who put their faith in him.

No problem with gay marriage, however the wording of the Marriage Act should continue to refer to one man and one woman - in addition to the other references.

Richie,

Faith and truth is found in the heart. Not a book, nor a building.

Hey Richie maybe you could get a job here

OK, moving right along, going forward, I will answer the question you have all been dying to ask but are afraid to as you really know the answer but are not allowed to say so.

"why does dd keep saying Govt promoted the males via the G & H words but females did it all on their own with no silly words [just plain "Lesbians", before growing mustache, and after shaving it off]"

Well it is all to do with what Runner is saying, ie anal sex by male homosexuals caused a major world catastrophe of AIDS, espec half of Africa wiped out. There was panic, should we castrate them all? But then calm returned as Govt did what Govts do ie a SWOT Analysis.

STRENGTHS said USA controlled all anti AIDS drugs and [as seen already in South Africa] could hold the whole of Africa to ransom [or simply do oil for drugs deal at $10 a barrel for oil, and not an OPEC in sight].

OPPORTUNITIES said similarly why make same mistake as first Oil War in Iraq spending Trillions on an army when a FREE army of homosexuals has already half wiped out Africa, making it a doddle to take the oil.

Of course the Master of Rape & Pillage the Holy Catholic Church did its bit by assuring eternal damnation to any African that used a condom.

So it was simply a matter of Marketing the thing, starting with axeing the Grim Reaper [npi] and making the mention of AIDS illegal for the Govt Embedded Press [ie CNN], AND inventing a name for the new army ie GAY was born.

Now here is a very funny satire on the actual moment in congress, but using the word "PRONK" as an alias for Gay. It comes fast and furious as while you are still splitting sides over the good vs bad meaning ["didn't you catch the change in inflection?"] than the adjective goes straight to a noun ie A Gay, and he says "can someone hand me a Pronk"
