Now you're going to burn in hell. Quick, this can be avoided if you repent and accept the Lord's new savior, George W. Bush. Or just say five hail Mary's.

10. woah, you do need a hug. |

I don't ever remember JC's sexuality ever being discussed. He did have little respect for hypocrisy, money changers, self-righteousness and the wealthy, though.

22. see, JC isn't really the problem |
|
it's some of his acolytes. And as my mom is always fond of saying, Christianity hasn't been tried and found wanting, it just hasn't been tried. (actually, she usually says this about Communism.) But that's my mom. :)

Expected to get flamed for it, and you did.
Are you trying to spread the fire to another forum, now?

12. No, your reason for asking the question was dumb |
|
And in turn, it unleashed a whole lot of latent dumbness. Let it go.

23. I just want to be sure I've got the facts straight |
|
BNTG made a dumb post that she was sure was going to invite flames. Sure enough, that's what happened. She tried to defend her position, but it was pretty obvious that her stated reason for posing the question (was Jesus gay) was that it was designed to point out the hypocrisy of fundamentalist Christians.
The reason struck a lot of people as being a non sequitur (and I'll include myself in that bunch), and BNTG was unable to provide a reason of any kind for why it was not. Now she comes into the Lounge, looking for a hug, because she posed a dumb question for a dumb reason, knew it was going to spark a flame war, and it did, and now she's looking for hugs and support.
Did I miss anything?

Obviously you just want to argue some more. I'm a bit busy just now, so why don't you make up a position, pretend I said it and argue with that?

27. No I just wanted to be sure . . . |

That when you were calling for people to lighten up, you had a handle on the situation. I hadn't posted anything to your attention until you replied to my post.
I didn't want to argue with anyone, and I didn't attribute anything to anyone that they hadn't said themselves. But if you're going to hand out unsolicited advice, you might find out what it is you're talking about first. But that's just a suggestion, not an invitation to argue.

13. Well, that was always going to be controversial. |
|
I never even looked in that thread, with the title that it had. Figured it was going to get heated.
But consider yourself hugged!

When I start a thread, I usually get two responses and then it drops like a lead balloon! At least you made an impression!

I participated in the thread in question and I don't think it is an invalid area of inquiry.
