Maybe you should add a companion poll asking women how many times they have been approached by a (non-spousal) man for sex.  Should be enlightening! Seriously, unless you were forced to have sex with a gay person, I don't see what your point is.Quote An estimated 91% of victims of rape are female, 9% are male and 99% of offenders are male.…[Read more]

Quote An estimated 91% of victims of rape are female, 9% are male and 99% of offenders are male. (Bureau of Justice Statistics 1999) SourceThis isn't rocket science.  If you want to argue that a sexual orientation is bad because it “has victims”, then heterosexuality should have long ago been outlawed, owing to its great number of rape…[Read more]

Quote (Jesus name follower of Christ @ July 24 2009,04:38)If you are a non believer then what can I do to persuade you to go to church?Try a simple demonstration of your faith.  Seemed to work well in the bible.  For reference, see 1 Kings 18:20-40.

WorshippingJesus,Let's review.In response to TimVI's question, “What makes you so positive that you are right and they are wrong?“, you wrote (in part) the following:Quote I think Jesus own words sets the record straight.Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

WorshippingJesus,Great!  Can you give me one example of the evidence in the writings of Moses that support the idea that the NT is authentic and that the recorded words of Jesus within the NT are accurate?While you are at it, as a related matter, can you explain why Jesus in Matthew 5:38 appears to disagree with Moses (who was speaking for God)…[Read more]
