I'd kill for a Star Trek replicator right now. If the Democratic Underground could promise me a technological means of producing unlimited quantities of whatever plus a guitar, I'd be a card-carrying Commie.

Bahahahaha. And so you grace us with your presence.

Well, pull up a chair my good man. All are welcome.

Well most.

Thanks.

One time I posted something about how liberals should go back to using the Bible and churches as the foundation of their teachings. You cannot believe how I got blasted by some of their deluded posters. Almost as bad as what I've gotten here!

 

[Desdichado]

we are made to move. To put effort into getting our food.

I put that energy into chasing girls.

I'm saying this to provoke another half-hearted argument and make a funny.

I love my veggies. Nothing and no one will tell me they are bad, I'll still eat them and I'll share, maybe? But you have to be super nice first

I'm a pure carnivore. What kills me is iced tea.

TRIGGERED. You're asking for Christian privilege!

Sweetened or unsweetened?

I'm not like Trump who said he does not need Jesus's forgiveness.

speaking of guitar...look what I learned the other day. [video=vimeo;189463627]http://vimeo.com/189463627[/video]

Wow! To my layman ears that's impressive. Didn't know you had that skill!

This place is full of surprises.

And the angels rejoice because of it.

I think life was probably better when it was all about hunting and scrumping. Society, I think puts us in a box. I think God would be happier if we were just looking for food and making babies.

I'll take the happy state in between somewhere.

Why would anyone have unsweetened iced tea? That just don't make sense. I'm not an animal. This is Virginia. We ain't like those poor souls in Maryland.

Oh man I used to love chasing the boys. Most oftentimes I would actually get into trouble because we would go and hide somewhere. I had this one friend that I planted one on him and would have so much fun with each other, another one we would always play football and he would pick me up and spin me around and made me feel so protected, it was awesome! Then my classmates arranged a whole wedding ceremony.........only he didn't want to get married so we literally chased him and I ended up tackling him to the ground, we got divorced the next day. It was hilarious, made for an epic childhood!!! Man, I am glad I don't flirt like i used to...

I'm an omnivore...just yesterday a coworker and I celebrated that we made it thru payroll and went to Outback, it was delish! I can't survive on veggies alone, but I do need a little red meat every now and then

So peacenik, I have to ask. Who are some of your favorite thinkers/influences? Outside the Bible. Everyone would say the Bible here.

Well, the ones that last anyway.

I grew up in NY. It's a question I ask by instinct.

Actually, we discussed that a while ago with Thomas Merton, Erasmus of Rotterdam, the Transcendentalists, among others ...

I must not have paid much attention to that thread. Okay, that does explain some of where you come from, then. Interesting.

Everybody should dig Erasmus on some level.

Okay guys, in an uncharacteristic move I'm broadcasting my intention to sleep for 4-5 hours.

Til' morning.

Ah, I see. I'm thinking you mean the Proverbs verses were out of context. You mean 1 Cor. Yes, the context is sexual sins. Hey guys, since our bodies are the temples of God and we are to glorify God with our bodies...but that is only in context of sexual sins, we can do whatever ungodly act we can think of with our body, be as irresponsible as we want with our body, as long as it's not sexual.

Nooo. Even though the immediate context of that passage is sexual sins, you're stretching it all the same to say "it's only for sexual sins. It doesn't apply to anything else."

Hyperbole much?

Except for it plainly stating that "every other sin that a man commits is OUTSIDE the body... but a man that sins sexually sins against the body"....

In other words, the only way to sin against your body is with sexual sin... at least the way I read it. Seems pretty straightforward to me.

Common sense tells us to take care of ourselves, so we can live long lives for Christ... but to say that doing "unhealthy" things is a sin, is wrong. Our body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, and sexual sin goes against the Spirit...
