Everyone should be able to have their own views on morality and life until it doesn't agree with the "correct" view of "let everyone do what makes them happy without anyone saying they don't like it."
Who cares? So this guy thinks its immoral? Does anyone care that you can get kicked out of the military for adultery? What if its an open marriage? Still adultery in their eyes but hey..the married people are okay with it so why shouldn't everyone else be?
oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.
Yes - because God condones killing, right? How far into the commandments do you have to get before you see the words "Thou shall not kill"?
As far as it takes me to see U.S dollars with 'In God we trust' printed on them whilst pondering how many people may be being executed in U.S prisons today, and how many Iraqis may be wiped out today.
Are you saying that God's word, or what a mystic has interpreted as the word of God is on par with what the general population decides to print on their coins and to use as justification to back killing?

No. I was pointing out the blatant hypocrisy of what many American so-called Christains have interpreted and implemented as the word of 'God'.

Okay. From what I saw, know1 was referring to the word of God specifically, as interpreted in the commandments which was culled by a mystic experience. That is different than the hypocrisy of the common man who does not have mystical awareness or even insight and who is confusing his own limits for the word of God or natural law.

We are all just 'natural' men afterall. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Yes. Did he distort the mystical interpretation he was referring to? Common man can align with mystical truths, or they can separate from them.
On this specific point, he made the point that it is not God that condones killing, but that it is rather man who distorts God's word and justifies killing. Do you take issue with that?

These sexuality politics are starting to annoy the hell out of me. Aren't there more important issues with far greater consequences on the table right now than who fucks who and how they fuck each other.....................fuck it!

I think my posts above make my position perfectly clear.

Yes - that is what I was saying.
The only people we should try to get even with...
...are those who've helped us.
Right 'round the corner could be bigger than ourselves.
For me, the real adultery includes pre-marital sex. So by that definition, are any of us adulterers offended when people say it is immoral?
Real adultery does not include pre-marital sex. That's fornication.
You're not an adulterer, you're a fornicator, and the general had nothing to say about you or your "sins" - likely because he's enjoyed a bit 'a fornication himself.

Then I guess I have higher morals than the bible on that topic since I do not believe killing for any reason is acceptable.

Ok. I don't know if they're "higher" or just different, but that's fine by me.
True - it may not be higher.

Nonsense.

I wonder if anyone thinks these troops will be treated any differently to the Nam vets a few years down the road?
