No.... I know when I see maturity developing. And, despite that you will have some setbacks, like all of us, the consistent growth shows in your desire to think for yourself.Well that's up for debate
but wait, there's even more irony!
people are making "accusations" of loving, as though it is a wrong thing, and no one thinks anything of it.
but Christ said love one another. love your brothers and sisters. love your neighbor. love your enemies.

Pro-abortion advocates in the 70's:
"Of course abortion won't be used as a contraceptive." (90+% are.)
"Of course we're not advocating easy sex." (Apparently they were.)
"Of course this won't lead to aberrations like homosexual marriage, pedophile marriages, and bestiality."
Check, check, check, they're working on it even now, and we'll get there too.
The disadvantage and advantage of age -- remembering when people said this would never happen!
Seen it. It already happened. Closing your eyes doesn't stop more from happening. Obviously, it just let's it happen with the everlasting epitaph "The only thing necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing."
Of course, being a Christian, I'm fully aware that makes us "bad men" not "good men."

"Even me"?
Probably had that one comin'. Willie, you're a blessing, and I know darn tootin' well you're a brother in Christ. Won't let anyone say different. God bless.
That's almost too much to hope for, but "with God, all things are possible." We can agree to pray they do, for certain.
Not until they've taken their last breath is that for certain.

((given that homosexual relations do not produce fetuses ?))

Oh well. Never mind.
Sorry I can't be bothered about something that has no impact on my life whatsoever.

Context is a wonderful thing. Put these verses back in their context, and they won't say what I'm seeing you making them say. We aren't to pray for America? We aren't to pray for the lost? Untrue.
In all three of those chapters, Jeremiah was speaking not the condemned, but of the Northern Kingdom -- which was not condemned, but in the midst of chastisement through captivity. After nearly six centuries of being warned about the consequences of their disobedience, of getting reprieve after reprieve after reprieve, God did just as He said He would. He let them fall into the hands of their enemies.
Jeremiah wasn't saying "Don't pray for their restoration" -- and you should know, reading later into the Bible, they were restored, the faithful remnant. He was saying, "I have already determined their punishment, so don't bother trying to get me to change My mind." And, more importantly, He was continuing to warn Judah, the Southern Kingdom, that the same fate awaited them without repentance.
But they, too, were restored. God promised that, as well.
We best pray that "corpse" keeps breathing a while longer. Though I don't support the libertarian agenda, she is often more libertarian and liberal, and that results in some surprising votes.
If she's gone, we'll get another flaming liberal, probably the first openly gay SCOTUS justice. Wouldn't that be wonderful?
Nothing has changed?
Only if you don't count the majority of SCOTUS justices completely ignoring the Constitution -- which gives them no basis to "decide" what marriage is -- as "not changing anything."
And don't bet on all those things you checked off remaining checked off. Now that there is precedent for SCOTUS to decide what is or is not marriage, the bigamists, polygamists, pedophiles, and bestiality freaks will be storming the courthouse steps to get their favorite perversion legalized. You think not? Think again, brother.

It doesn't predate Creation by God's hand though, now does it? You have read Genesis 2:23, 24?
God predating the Supremes...check.
Genesis 2:22-24 (KJV)
22 And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.
23 And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.
24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.

Why can't getting smacked in the face with reality ever feel good?
that's good to hear
because i seem to be seeing a lot of "fretting" going on!
and i know that ain't what we ought to be doing.

For the same reason getting hit by a 100 MPH fastball never feels good. It's a shock to the system, and disrupts the previously enjoyed comfort zone.
