But isn't that the entire point? That despite the rest of Leviticus being void they still lose their minds about homosexuality?

How could the dove thing apply to priests if there were no female priests?

I just don't get these kinds of people!! How do you get to pick and choose what parts of the bible you take so seriously??? The part where it says homosexuality is a sin? Taken very seriously and literally. The parts about women needing to live outside while on their period? Well that's just silly and part of an…

1) The love of money quote is from the book of Timothy.

Fundamentalist Christians: We don't care about biblical views on crustaceans,bacon, cotton-poly blend clothing, working on Saturday, or that "the root of all evil is the love of money". But be careful where you insert that dick, cuz Deus le veult.

Because "I'd rather not have a baby at 16" is not the same decision as life-saving chemo. Should 16 year olds be able to make any and all decisions? No. Should they be able to make the decision about not wanting to be parents? Yes. There's no need to extend this decision to any and all decisions, we can discuss the…

Actual teenager here. My parents think I tell them everything too. I don't, at all. And the stricter the rules and punishments are, the more lies I tell, because being locked in my room or kicked out of my house is not worth the honesty. Now, I've never had a condom related accident, but if I did and someone told me I…

You don't think a 16 or 17 year old should be allowed to decide if they want to have chemo or not, regardless of the circumstances? Like, you think that an older teen should be forced to endure treatment even if all their doctors have said that the cancer is going to kill them and that chemo will only prolong their…

By that logic we should just let children with cancer make their own decisions about treatment options, or even if they want to have something as simple as a physical exam.

OK, let's assume you're a decent dad (it's not an easy leap for me, but I'll try and take it), and your daughter is comfortable talking to you about her sex life, her vagina, her ovaries...and all her womanly bits. Great, she's going to come to you and talk about that with you.

Because "slippery slope" is a fallacious argument.

Mmm, slippery slopes are extra slippery at lunch time!

I'm not entirely sure what the alternative is to them making educated sexual health decisions. Is it to make uneducated decisions? To not make decisions at all? If your starting position is "16 year olds aren't mature enough to make this decision", where does that leave us? We know that "not educating" is not an…

Yes, 16 year olds are mature enough to make decisions about their sex lives. They are also susceptible to judgment from other people, just like adults are. Being well equipped to make sexual decisions for yourself and being equipped to stand up to people in positions of authority attempting to bully you into making…

Honey, that was my first reply to you, so you can pull take a step back and calm down, mmmkay?

Just because someone doesn't have a huge amount of self-confidence or has some trouble be assertive does NOT mean they are incompetent of making decisions for themselves. I find it funny that you think someone who lacks the confidence to stand up for their rights should be denied plan B (and likely also an abortion)…

Right-0. Some people are abusing welfare? Shut the whole thing down! Some people have used guns to massacre innocents? MOAR GUNZZZZ!!!! Our country has its priorities up its ass.

If she hadn't existed, he would have invented her. Hell, he did invent her - as his narrative bears little resemblance to the real story. He used a (white) scam-artist who was defrauding multiple people and programs using a web of identities into a story about how black people were able to live lavish lifestyles off…

That's probably the only thing associated with this woman that is genuinely not her fault and for which she is not responsible.

And somehow people Bernie Madhoff and Ken Lay don't convince them that all wealthy people are criminals.
